Beginning in February 2008, The HijiNKS ENSUE Podcast is the original “geeks talking pop culture” podcast. Host Joel Watson, creator of the online comic HijiNKS ENSUE, and his co-hosts, Josh Jeffcoat and Eli Luna, break down the week’s geek news and give their own perspective on current events in pop culture.
After a hiatus from April 2011 to August 2012, the show returned with an updated, more conversational comedic format without the focus on geek pop culture. It also featured an array of guests and co-hosts, including the creators of the popular online comic Cyanide & Happiness.
CONTENT WARNING: This podcast is a time capsule. It contains language and ideas about gender, race, sexuality and society that are outdated, often offensive and frequently ignorant when presented out of context. No harm or offense was ever intended, and everything we said was in the spirit of absurd commentary and “edgey humor,” but 15 years of hindsight, growth, education and maturity have taught me that A LOT of what I used to think was acceptable to say in a public forum for laughs was neither acceptable or funny. – Joel
RATING: Often NSFW, Definitely Not Safe For Kids due to adult language and subject matter.
This is part 2 of my discussion with professional voice actors Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt. We talk about some of their favorite roles in film, tv, animation and video games (and especially MY FAVORITE of their roles), their dream jobs (Yuri’s Dark Knight Returns destiny) and their heroes. We also take a few listener questions from Twitter.
In this episode I talk to my friends Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt about how they have the greatest job in the world. They are both full time professional voice actors in Hollywood, California, USA, Earth and I find everything they have to say about the world of voice over and voice acting to be COMPLETELY FASCINATING. Will you as well? Perhaps. Perhaps YES YOU WILL DEFINITELY FOR SURE!
