Spoiler-san 12: We spoil Otakon

Welcome to Spoiler-san 12: We spoil Otakon. Stick with us here, because this idea could be a little "wacky." So, in contrast of Podtoid-san's news and fun format, we've decided to do a fun only piece to help illustrate a con experience. Live con recordings are cool, but questions don't get immediately answered, and it takes the better part of a week to get back to the listener. So...


We'll be recording four miniature, expanding podcasts, one for every night of the convention. The aim is to set up an entirely question and answer idea, where we... the spoilers, will spoil any question posed to us, be they personal, con related, or anime related. This is also a request thread. Every night, we'll answer all the questions/talk about the requests on a podcast, which will be published that night or the following morning. The edits will be brief and basic, adding each nights segment onto the ones that preceded it, with a heavier post production edit of the entire product later.


Example comments include:

"What panels are you most looking forward to?"
"Will you kick Brad when you see him at the airport?"
"Are you going to attend the 4chan panel?"
"Why did Snape kill Dumbledore?"
"Can you take pictures of (Silent Hill) cosplay for me"
"What are you gonna eat for dinner?"

So there you go, thats the idea. Play along, I know its silly, but we think its gonna end up rather fun. Quick reiteration: ANY question you ask here will be responded to by tomorrow morning (Friday)
