Episode 43 - Once & Always
Just in time for Cosmic Fury, the Toku Ladies have a lot of thoughts about Once & Always! In which we plot a lot of fanfic, have a lot of feelings, and basically fangirl like mad for an hour.
-
Episode 42 - But Wait, It Gets Gayer!
In which the Toku Ladies review season 2 of Dino Fury, and flail about the upcoming Cosmic Fury.
Tl;dr Dino Fury is the greatest and everyone should watch it.
Also, this somehow manages to be our 42nd actual episode, but is technically episode 50 if you count interviews. So clearly, queer power rangers are the answer to life, the universe, and everything. -
Episode 41: Broken Pedestals
We're back with special guests SecretRangerFan and Ryorin!
In which we discuss what to do when your heroes are allegedly guilty of various incredibly serious accusations, discuss the weird parasocial relationship we have with the actors in PR fandom, and how to separate art from artist... and if you still can when these sorts of allegations have been made.
Unfortunately Ter had to miss this episode due to computer issues. -
Episode 40: We're here, we're queer, and so is Power Rangers
We watched Dino Fury and it is amazing. You should also watch it. Immediately. Also, representation matters and we love everything about it. EVERYTHING.

Episode 39: No Witty Title

Episode 38: Does This Fandom Spark Joy?
The world is a disaster, so the Toku Ladies are bringing you a 2 1/2 hour episode about mental health, self-care, curating our relationships with online fandom communities, and how fandom can help us cope. And we answer a bunch of community questions.

Customer Reviews
Vital perspective in the Toku community
There are enough straight white guy voices dominating Toku fandom, and the Toku Ladies prove why it’s so important to have diverse perspectives within a community — especially one that was diverse to begin with! Even though I don’t have the breadth of Toku knowledge these hosts do (and thus have no idea what they’re talking about sometimes) I still love their thoughtful insights on fandom and media, which often run counter to “mainstream” conversations or highlight areas that simply aren’t talked about enough, including social justice, representation, and inclusion. It’s not just a good show, it’s an IMPORTANT one.
Thoughtful, insightful view.
I've been listening to this podcast for a few months, and I've enjoyed the hard look at uncomfortable practices in the toku environment and fandom as well. I've learned a lot and hope to keep enjoying the way they celebrate the fandom and the media we all love!

Very good, definitely worth a listen for Power Rangers fans! Great discussion and excellent chemistry between the crew.
