Podigious: A Digimon Adventure 2020 Podcast

More ways to listen: Web • YouTube

Let’s talk about Ghost Game episodes 5-8! We talk about Kiyoshiro’s chuuniful debut, Sistermon Ciel’s gleeful murder death race, how we are (/were) feeling about the show’s pacing 8 episodes in, and whether the episodic formula is starting to weigh on us. (Note: this episode was recorded in early December. Apologies for the delay!)
