487 – Don’t Kill A Bird With A Baseball with Tom Harrison (Anime Sickos)

Tom Harrison is one of the brain geniuses behind Anime Sickos, my actual favorite podcast in the world. The show is a dissection of the four pillars of modern misery (Anime, Gaming, Posting, and Jobs), and is honestly everything you could possibly want in a podcast. It’s funny, insightful, occasionally righteously angry, and genuinely makes me want to make podcasts.

We sat down to play Don’t Kill a Bird With a Baseball, an RPG where Randys Johnson from across the multiverse gather to stop our world’s Randy Johnson from killing a bird with a baseball.

Mike is a longtime podcaster, and host of the show The Newest Olympian, which seeks to answer the question, “Has society been sleeping on the Percy Jackson series?”. His new show, Professional Talkers, is a comedic advice podcast all about navigating life’s awkward conversations with Sequoia Simone.

It was a DELIGHT.
