Hiatus Time

Hello friends.  I'm a liar, really I am.... and I'm sorry for it.  According to the title of the podcast I'm supposed to get shows out WEEKLY.  I haven't been living up to that promise for awhile.  As you can see I haven't released a podcast in over a month.  

Just to let you all know everything is fine in my little corner of the world.  But thanks for all the e-mail inquiries, I do appreciate them as always.  It seems that I've hit a wall with podcasting.  I still like podcasting and of course I still love anime, but I'm afraid I'm starting to burn out a bit with getting the podcasts out each week.  Unlike other podcasts this is a one man affair, meaning that I do the whole thing myself.  While this has worked out fine in the past, lately it's just been too much.  So to let you know I'm putting the podcast on hiatus.

You can expect the final Japan Trip cast to show up before too long though.  We still want to talk about our adventures in Akihabara, and our day at the Studio Ghibli museum.  Both of which were absolutely amazing.  These episodes have been a bit experimental and haven't been ordinary WARP podcasts.  I wanted to try something different, and I think these were a nice change of pace.  The response has been really positive, so thanks for everyone who has stuck around during these out of format episodes.

Speaking of format that is something I want to change once WARP starts back up.  I do still want to change the name of the podcast eventually, and start concentrating on Japanese pop-culture as a whole instead of just anime.  You know other things I love about Japan like movies, TV dramas, video games, music, etc.  

Thanks for subscribing and sticking around for the past two years.  What started out as a way to get myself to watch my ever growing queue of DVDs (and to justify the college education I'm still paying off) has led to so much more.  Thanks to this podcast I've made many friends and have had experiences I wouldn't have had otherwise.  For those reasons alone I don't want to end the podcast.  So the show is going on hiatus, and one day soon it'll be back better then ever.  So why not stay subscribed since you'll never know what might come down the old RSS feed.
