First show of the Spring season is in the archive! 3 hours of musical explorations at your fingertips, free of charge flatcircleradio.org

Finished both Golden Kamuy (manga) and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (anime) this weekend. Both are mammoths of storytelling, what incredible rides.

Aaaand we’re back! Starting Feb 4th, Flat Circle Radio Hour will return as a WEEKLY program. Sundays 3-5PM, on WPRB 😈📻

Here’s my votes for the Crunchyroll Awards this year 👀✌️🥂

Libraries are so goated. Great idea whoever came up with this

Not even 24 hours after posting the waiting for season 2 tshirt, they announced it! Magic!

Sharing mk’s awesome Dorohedoro shirt design that they drew and screen printed at home 😎

Chainsaw Man MOVIE announced for the Reze arc 😭 Release is TBD but at least here’s one thing 2024 might offer that’s good

Slint’s Spiderland on heavy rotation the last few days

Love love love

In no time at all, Sakamoto Days has taken a top spot in my heart for favorite manga. Ordered Vols 1-10 last night, looking forward to rereading it in a physical format! Top 3 Manga 1: Chainsaw Man 2: Dorohedoro 3: Sakamoto Days

Really excited to see Sakamoto Days’ anime adaptation next year. Been diving into the manga the past week and have loved the ride!

Tons of new music headed your way on WPRB, today! On the air live 12-3pm, then it will live on forever in the show archive. flatcircleradio.org

Such a warm and wholesome show, pure healing

Fall 2023 anime seasonals have been quite a trip. Been fully engrossed in Frieren and Jujutsu Kaisen, but also wowed but surprise shows like Migi & Dali and Overtake!

Doing my civic duty (Texting STOP to a million SMS bots)

Chainsaw Man is the best

I’m here for the Isekai anime this season that explore the tempting question of “but what if I don’t want to return to my timeline”

Was most pleasantly surprised by Undead Murder Farce

Overjoyed to see Seven Seas announce a collector’s edition of the manga Gravitation! With a new translation too?! Beyond stoked, that was a formative manga to read coming up in the early oughts

Finally! A way to learn about fonts.

🍕📻🍕📻🍕📻🍕📻🍕📻🍕📻 No radio show this week. Catch DJ Pup's Pizza Party tonight on WPRB from 5-8 pm ET instead! 📻🍕📻🍕📻🍕📻🍕📻🍕📻🍕

Trying out this anime season’s Episode-1’s, and had to drop The Yuzuki Family’s Four Sons because the translation work was absolutely AI generated and terrrrrible! Story seemed like it had something going for it, but the translation was abysmal and so distracting.

I’m back, back in the Björk groove

“I will change the rules so one person can call a vote to get me booted, in order to appease you naysayers in confirming me as Speaker.” *gets booted* “How could this have happened”

Also: Angel Cop, Black Rock Shooter, and Cyber City Oedo 808

I think the best response I've seen to AI anything has been, "Why should I bother reading something that nobody could be bothered to write"

Last night’s radio show is now in the archive!

I won’t be on the radio tomorrow night, but DJ Pup has a great program in store!

In honor of Rosh Hashanah, I’m doing a “year in review” setlist tomorrow (Weds) wrapping 5783. What were some of my favorite releases since the end of last September? Tune in to WPRB from 5-8pm est to find out!

Making sure Discord and MS Teams are both set to dark mode… gotta keep the coworkers guessing.

I enjoyed the live action One Piece adaptation enough that its gotten me to do the impossible - I’ve started reading the manga 😵‍💫

Airwave time! Two more shows in September to announce, I’ll be filling in for; Jon Solomon - Weds 9/20 5-8pm est Lizbot - Thurs 9/28 5-8pm est 103.3 FM on the local dial, wprb.com for the online stream. And for the asynchronous listeners, the shows will be archived! See you there.

For some context, the new UAW president won their election in March in an upset to decades-long control by the old caucus. Pretty cool to see the immediate result of ousting the old guard. Maybe another presidential election could use this energy 🤔

BREAKING: Marvel VFX workers have just won a historic first union in the visual effects industry. The workers who power the biggest superhero movies on the planet voted unanimously to unionize with vfxunion. This is a major first step for the industry, and Disney is next.

Received the awful news that fellow DJ Patrick O'Shea passed away recently. Pat was a long-time WPRB programmer who hosted The World's Fare, The Scarlet Pumpernickel + The All-Ages Show. You knew him as Pato, Pangeo, Paddy... When Pat was on the radio, I never knew what was going to happen next.
