OSMcast! Show #144: Questions from Listeners Like You, NOV in DEC Edition

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

So back in the far flung past (last month or so*) we solicited questions from the people. Mostly on Twitter. Also via spamming Third Impact Anime’s Facebook Community. These are those questions. And our answers! In December. Look, time is an illusion, we all know this. 

*Pretty sure the idea was to record in October, then release in November? But now it’s December. Hi December!

Ryan is a pretty cool dude and you can check out his Twitter right here!

OSMinterview! Marianne Miller @ Hamacon 9

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Hi everybody! This time around we have got yet another awesome interview for you! At Hamacon 9, we had the chance to sit down with Marianne Miller, whom you may remember from our previous interview, but more likely remember her from her roles on shows like Little Witch Academia, or FLCL Alternative. Either way, enjoy!

Warning of Triggers: We do go down some dark rabbit holes. Maybe all of them? certainty a bunch of them. It’s an excellent listen, but be forewarned!

OSMnotes

Thanks once again to Marianne Miller for the chance to chat! Also, welcome back everybody! With the FFXIV FanFest done, and Thanksgiving, and half the crew getting sick in between… it’s been rough. But we have some awesome episodes already and lined up for the next few weeks, so get ready!

OSMinterview! Lula Cosplay & Scissor Wizard Cosplay @ Hamacon 9

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

OK so, we here at the OSMcast are not exactly a um, well. dealers in the visual medium. We deal more in the business of audio. If we were a Transformer, we’d be best represented by Blaster or Soundwave. Really what we are getting at here is that this episode is a whole audio feast about a visual medium known as costume play. You know, cosplay. Specially, an interview with the wonderful cosplayers Scissor Wizard Cosplay and Lula Cosplay. There were the cosplay guests for Hamacon 9, and we were very happy to chat with them about costuming.

OSMnotes

Thank you to both Lula Cosplay as well as Scissor Wizard Cosplay for talking with us! You can follow Scissor Wizard Cosplay on Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, and YouTube! You can also find Lula Cosplay on Facebook, as well as Instagram, Twitter, and check out her store on Etsy!

If you happen to be in North Alabama this weekend, Lulu Cosplay will be at the Hamacon Minicon 2018, selling amazing things and also running a workshop about making kanzashi flowers~

Also Basil has panels, Dylan runs the Analog gaming area, and it’s just going to be a blast. You should go!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

In this latest and greatest of the OSMcast, we have yet another OSMinterview! John sat down with the one and only Austin Tindle, a voice-over artist that has been in many a great anime.

So stay a while and listen~

OSMnotes

Thank you Austin for chatting with us! If you haven’t yet, check him out on Twitter! And while you’re at it, check out John’s Twitter, too. And speaking of Hamacon, they’ve got thier one day Minicon coming up in November! If you happen to see around North Alabama at the time, you should go. Next time on the OSMcast, we’ll be digging into the backlog and releasing our take on all the indie games we saw this past Momocon! We’ll see you next week.

OSMinterview! Denmo Mcstronghuge @ Hamacon 9

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Why hello there! We’re glad you could make it! Because we had the chance to sit down with Denmo Mcstronghuge and chat a little bit in June during Hamacon 9. Denmo is a YouTube/Twitter/Twitch sensation that  makes with the Final Fantasy XIV funnies and jokes. You may even find him scampering across Eorzea as his buddy Mr Face. Sometimes he even plays other video games! You should also make sure to listen all the way to the end. You’ll be glad you did!

Protip: We were/are trying to play around with a new travel mic and the settings somehow got jumbled. So you make need to raise the volume on it here and there.

OSMnotes

Once again, thanks again to Denmo for chatting with us!

Also, we killed the old RSS feed that was crashing all the time, and hopefully have performed the correct actions to switch everyone who was on the old RSS feed, to the new one. Which isn’t really NEW, but newer than the old. That said, we’re back on iTunes! If you look to the right of this web page, you can click on the iTunes icon and go to our page on said iTunes! If you could also throw us a 5 star review, that would be great. Amazing even. Just outstanding. We’re also on a bunch of things now! … That could also possibly use 5 star reviews? Probably!

Also the Who is the OSMcast? page is updated! We’re just full of updates. See you next week!
