Poor Audio Quality on AppleTV
Actually not a bad podcast, but I can't watch it on my TV. For some reason the intro music is fine, but the commentary sounds clipped and submerged. Plays fine on my computer. Haven't tried on my ipod.
Good in fact I like it
Though I'm a bigger otaku lol but your doing a fine job my man keep it up
Nice job
You do a pretty nice job covering everything, which is awesome. in a future episode, can you somehow confirm if there will be a third season of the anime "Spice and Wolf"? I'd be much obliged if you could. (@^_^@)
