| #5.5 Real or Fake Anime (The Post Podcast Minutes) w/Kabilash | 06 Jul 2026 | 00:16:57 | |
Welcome to episode 5.5 of The Post Podcast with NIP! We spend a lot of time on The Post Podcast talking about things that matter deeply to our community. Housing. Energy bills. Rent Bank. Episode 5.5 is not that. Our host Seyon loves anime. Our guest Kabilash knows the big popular ones and that is about where it ends. So we did what any reasonable podcast would do: Seyon describes the most unhinged, hard-to-believe anime plots he could find, and Kabilash has to guess whether each one is a real anime or something Seyon just made up. Spoiler: The real ones are much harder to believe than the fake ones. This episode is a good time. That is the whole goal. Come watch.
