Hello, universe! Returning guest Tim Eldred joins us to talk about his upcoming project with CREATORVC, Icons of Anime, a documentary helmed by Tim all about the history of anime and its impact in the west. Tim has been doing a media blitz to get the word out about the documentary’s survey which will help shape the vision of the project. The doc will cover all the basics, but the survey is how you can voice what specific angles you’d like Tim to explore. You can find the link here on the official Icons of Anime website.

Thanks so much to Tim for coming back on the show! We can’t wait to see how this project unfolds.
