For the April Fool’s episode of Rangercast (which can be heard here), Mike volunteered his services in cooking up a parody promo for a possibility that every fan dreads: “What if 4Kids dubbed Garo?”

This Week:
Last year, Mike challenged CardCaptor Will by daring him to attend the Midwest Fur Fest convention with a microphone on hand to incite chaos. He agreed under the condition that he would be slightly intoxicated for the duration of the outing. Mike agreed. Sadly this is one of the few surviving pieces of audio from that outing. Be afraid.
Figure there’s no better way to start up the celebrations for Episode 50 than by putting up an audio mash up of Will being tipsy and…singing m-flo. Yeah.
Either way, sorry for the wait and stay tuned!

They say at the moment of death of your podcast…your life flashes before your eyes. With the new year started and the fact that it’s been a whole month without an episode, I thought “This is it Mike. This is how it ends…”
But it hasn’t. And the show is most definitely still here….
The latest episodes of R5 Central are coming at you soon. Don’t count us out yet.

Here at R5, I’m always looking to try and take things a step up from the current status quo…and I think I’ve finally done it. After a long wait, I present to you the official YouTube Channel of all things R5 related: R5 THE LIVE!
While videos will be uploaded there, I’ll be including the vids themselves on the feed for your enjoyment. Hopefully, this will be the start of a trend for me and you’ll be seeing more video entries come time for cons. Maybe even a few Live bits if I can find a connection and means to edit on the go.
Anyways, here’s our first clip which was shot (and almost forgotten about) at Anime Central 07: “Ode to That Guy”.
Warning it may get a bit sappy.

This Week:
On October 31st, Mike, Sylene, and new co-host Mai, attempted to record an Halloween-themed episode. What occurred was the most terrifying, blood-chilling, most horrible experience ever recorded on a podcast. As a result, this episode was locked and sealed away, never to be heard from again…that was, until now.
Featured in this episode: A look at the Devilman franchise and why you should avoid the 2004 movie like Macross Zero, 8 J-Horror Films To Die For, an all-girl Visual Kei band, and Satanic Care Bears.
