Agitator J David Osborne & Kelby Losack

Shouts out our boy. All love.

We're freestyling the concept and premise of a sprawling sword & sorcery/survival horror epic, after we diagnose the problems of today's youth, eulogize Steve Albini as much as he deserves it, pontificate better ways to approach open-world gaming than the endless side-questing and modifying, and discuss our favorite shows a little bit.

We kick off the show talking shop and breaking down pretentiousness as laziness, then move into the current state of mediocrity in rap music and what makes Kendrick one of the worst to ever rock the mic. Also: who dissed Drake best? And "can I say it?" We miss you, DMX. patreon.com/agitator

Very special interview episode today with ADR (English dub) anime director/producer/writer Shannon Reed of Sentai Filmworks. We get into the nuts and bolts of what it means to direct anime and what all goes into the dubbing process, from rewriting to match mouth flaps to pulling the perfect performance out of voice actors and everything in-between. We also talk balancing fun and hard work, Star Wars, Shannon's personal journey into anime, and more. Check out the HiDive streaming platform: https://welcome.hidive.com/
