Manga Pulse 530: Ari Parasites

Everyone is lining up for the new manga pulse. Those people are suckers though. We won’t turn them away or refuse to take their money. We’re just letting you know the smarter play is to listen remotely from the comfort of your own home. Perhaps while drinking your preferential choice of beverage. Take heart that you’re not out in the cold, awaiting access to the empty warehouse we’ve convinced everyone is the recording studio.

Manga Pulse 529: Vermillion Trauma

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Two heads are better than one. Which is a simple axiom that doesn’t always apply to everything. Take engines, for example. There are probably times where it makes sense to do that like in certain V configurations. But why would you want that in a four cylinder? This is a mystery no one has solved to this day. Especially since Google has become nigh unusable.
