    Nuanced Nonsense #39: Pondering social media’s impact on us and memes (Ft. Tanner Tran)

We bring on our friend Tanner Tran to talk about a multitude of things, ranging from mispronouncing words, planning your life ahead, the generation gap (especially in memes), and social media’s impact on us.

    Nuanced Nonsense #37: Anime Controversies

    Warning: The following podcast contains topics that some viewers may find disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised. In light of the deplorable actions of Tatsuya Matsuki, author of manga Act-Age, we did research into more anime related controversies and are sharing our findings. Anime isn’t a pure, white media and definitively contains its darker side, so join us as we delve into that well.
