| Mic Check! ft Mic Check Waifu Waifu Podcast | 20 janv. 2021 | 01:08:28 | |
Although the cover art of the Mic Check Waifu Waifu podcast features a female avatar, the hit anime commentary podcast is run by two best friends (more like brothers at this point) Polow & Telliano! In this episode of the Wonder of Anime, I chat with them both about starting Mic Check Waifu Waifu, their experience so far being Black anime podcasters, juggling real life, and being creatives. We also touch on some disappointing manga adaptations & controversial opinions (hint Black Clover.)
