Welcome to the Ghibliotheque - A Podcast About Studio Ghibli.
Here's where you can find the podcast that leafs through the library of films from the world's greatest animation studio, Studio Ghibli. Paid subscribers can access all episodes of the podcast early and ad-free, whilst also getting access to bonus episodes too.
Described by The Guardian as “an ideal podcast for Ghibli novices and superfans alike”, head to the main feed to hear deep-dives into the legendary filmmakers behind 'My Neighbor Totoro', 'Spirited Away' and 'Princess Mononoke' as well as fan favourite cult hits like 'Whisper of the Heart' and 'Only Yesterday'. Host Michael Leader, an expert in all things Ghibli is taking co-host and Ghibli novice Jake Cunningham on an epic adventure through the magical worlds of the Japanese animation studio. Providing a perfect companion to the films for Ghibli experts or total newcomers, listeners can hear the fascinating background and context behind each of the studio's releases and insightful analysis and criticism of them.
The Telegraph called Ghibliotheque “knowledgable, wry and unexpectedly soothing" and we haven't stopped our admiration of all things animation just because we've covered every Ghibli film. A four part series called 'Tokyo Stories' covers our pilgrimage to Japan and Ghibli's own museum, whilst mini-series 'Konology' looks at the works of 'Paprika' director Satoshi Kon and 'Cartoon Salooniverse' analyses the stunning creations of Irish studio - and 'Wolfwalkers' filmmakers - Cartoon Saloon.
Paid subscribers can have access to all of Ghibliotheque's episodes, early and ad-free, as well as bonus episodes exploring our host's wider cultural highlights. Whether it's a Zelda video game, a Miyazaki manga or something else entirely, on our bonus episodes the Ghibliotheque conversation carries on.
