POPULARITY
Show Notes 0:00: Justin and Helen return from hibernation (and attempting to stay warm in the East coast) to resume recording episodes of It’s Not My Fault TheOASG Podcast is Not Popular, and with the break, means catching up to things from even late December to January. The hosts start with once again a scanlation site shutting down, and what this ultimately means considering who was involved (and maybe not Kakao, which gets both hosts explaining how manhwa copyrights are…crazy) News 12:36: MediaOCD will be distributing Discotek Media’s catalog (as much as they can), and based on information online this project seems to have been sped up following a number of home media titles being delisted on Crunchyroll. This gets both hosts speculating on what this means, and why it sometimes now gets harder and harder to support official publishers. 18:59: Netflix continues making some deals as they’ve worked out a partnership with MAPPA and will be working with TOHO (and their new studio) to produce a bunch of works in a couple years 21:35: We got some hiatuses and returns to cover, starting with The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses manga being continued; after just not having any new chapters since 2022, The Girl, the Shovel, and the Evil Eye manga will return and also finish in a couple chapters; Kemono Jihen is taking a one-issue break due to Sho Aimoto suffering from gastroenteritis to start 2026; Phantom Busters will be on break as something’s going on with Neoshoco, the hosts hope they’re ok; The hosts break down what the heck’s going on with The New Prince of Tennis series as it went through some major editor mismanagement, enough to wear there could not be a new chapter in Jump SQ; The Days of Diamond will go on hiatus, no announcement on its return; Bocchi the Rock! was intended to return this month, but Aki Hamaji’s health has not improved enough to return to serialization, so the hiatus will continue; and in final manga hiatuses, Hajime no Ippo’s taking a break, no announcement on when it’ll return. 25:38: Makes sense that Go Nagai will be inducted into this year’s Eisner’s Hall of Fame, took them long enough; Manga creator Hisashi Eguchi apologized in December after tracing allegations were made back in October that had a number of companies suspend working with him; Chitose in the Ramune Bottle’s got some work to do following its delay due to production issues; And apparently A Tale of the Secret Saint needs more work as it’s been pushed from Spring to Fall season; What in the world is going with the Madoka movie? Well no one knows except that’s now been delayed from its release this month to an unannounced date; and the voice of Hitomi Koshigaya, Yumiri Hanamori, stepped down from the role for an undisclosed reason. So for the upcoming Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. anime, there will need to be a new voice for her. 30:53: Talent agency Aoni Production announced that voice actor Kōzō Shioya had died on January 20 due to cerebral hemorrhage — a number of people noted his impact on them and sent their condolences on social media on this difficult loss. Licenses 31:57: Seven Seas and their Wonderful Wednesdays have returned for 2026!

Streaming News 41:34: The Dangers in My Heart compilation film will be screened in some of the more popular cities this month; Whoever Steals This Book has been acquired by Crunchyroll and will also make its debut at the New York International Children’s Film Festival. 43:11: Remember when Oshi no Ko S3 got picked up by Crunchyroll? What did that mean for HIDIVE since they had the first two seasons? Absolutely nothing apparently since HIDIVE is still streaming it; Justin gets to talk about his excitement about the Umamusume Pretty Derby: Beginning of a New Era being in theaters at the end of the month; And Helen wonders why ALDNOAH.ZERO is back as Crunchyroll has added the English dub — which includes a new episode that aired in Japan last year — to their service. 46:10: A few anime will be on Netflix this year: Kyoto Animation’s Sparks of Tomorrow (in the summer) and Studio KAI’s Ramparts of Ice (in Spring); 47:05: So there were two anime that aired in Japan last year — April Showers Bring May Flowers and Monster Strike: Deadverse Reloaded — that was not picked up by an official service…until now! Prime now is streaming these anime; Fawesome began streaming the Despair of the Monster indie anime film sometime this past December, but at the moment only those in Canada and the UK can watch it. Weird News 49:18: More news about live-action Gundam keeps pouring out, and it gets even closer to becoming a real thing; Pokémon and Hatsune Miku is a thing again; The X (Twitter) continues to just get worse and its editing image feature for lots of people had a couple artists saying they do not want to put their illustrations on there. 55:36: The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio is over!…in print! It’s still ongoing digitally though. This gets Helen wondering however… 57:48: Sugar Sugar Rune has been added to Tubi…BUT there's a reason why it's in the weird news section! So far not at Tai Chi Chasers level, but… 59:32: Rumiko Takahashi made a trip to San Francisco some time ago (which can probably mean VIZ and her are cooking something) and visited a museum — somehow Bible Black is brought up in this part (Why Helen, just why); Justin wonders if Sazae-san is gearing up to be released overseas moving forward now that it’ll see its first overseas release in Taiwan; Otakon announced on Bluesky on Thursday the event is no longer allowing the sale of fan art in its dealers room beginning with the 2026 event, and Helen explains what this means. 1:05:17: Anime can make famous actors cry — see Michael B. Jordan crying over My Hero Academia — and can have its own category on Jeopardy!. Both hosts wonder if anime has become too mainstream… If there’s anything you’d like to share, please feel free to reach out to us on Twitter (@TheOASG) or comment below with your thoughts!

The Eames House survived the Palisades Fire, underwent smoke remediation and other repairs, and reopened in late July.

It's hard to accept the fact that summer is winding down. But there's lots of fall culture to look forward to! Our editors sat down to talk about the films, television and sports events they're most excited about, including The Monster of Venice, Preparation for the Next Life and, of course, the WNBA finals.Here at Vogue, it's been the Dogue days of summer. After last year's inaugural Dogue launch, we were inundated with messages from readers asking how their own dog could snag a Dogue cover. So this year we conducted a Dogue cover contest. More than 56,000 (!!) people submitted photos of their dogs, but only one could win! Plus, fashion writer Hannah Jackson takes you behind the scenes with The Dogist for our “Adopt This Dogue!” photo shoot. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to author Elissa Felder and her daughter Sonia Hoffman—both of whom have experienced the loss of a child and serve on a chevra kadisha—about what the Jewish burial society teaches us about confronting death. In this episode we discuss: How does the process of purifying a dead body work—and how is it possible to purify a dead body at all?What Kabbalistic practices are performed by chevra kadisha to bring dignity to the body and soul? How can we “normalize” discussions about grief and death? Tune in to hear a conversation about how care for the deceased is a “love story” between the Jewish People and God.Interview begins at 15:31.Elissa Felder started and actively manages Core's community of practice for women who serve on a traditional chevrah kadisha. The knowledge she acquired through her work motivated her to write From One Life to the Next Life; The Sacred Passage after Death, a memoir about the loss of her baby son. She is the head of her local chevrah kadisha and speaks widely on this topic.Sonia Hoffman is a Limmudei Kodesh teacher at Kohelet Yeshiva in Philadelphia. She is a daughter, mother, wife and member of the Bala Cynwyd community. She is also an active member of the Philadelphia Chevra Kadisha, having started during COVID to help with this mitzvah. After the loss of their daughter in 2016, she began speaking about her experience with loss and sharing resources with the community on ways in which we can move forward after tragedy. In addition, Sonia began hosting an annual event in her daughter's memory to bring awareness to the community around the topic of infant loss and relationship with God.References:Teshuvot HaRadbaz Volume 3, 985Torat HaAdam, Introduction “Passing Through” by David BashevkinBerakhot 10a“Reconciling Opposites: Uncommon Connections in the Halakha of Mourning” by Emanuel FeldmanFrom One Life to the Next Life; The Sacred Passage after Death by Elissa FelderThe Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief by Francis WellerThe Choice: Embrace the Possible by Dr. Edith Eva EgerConsolation: The Spiritual Journey Beyond Grief by Maurice LammGesher Hachaim - The Bridge of Life by Rabbi Yechiel Michel TucazinskyRabbi Yitzchak Hutner's Theology of Meaning by Alon ShalevFor more 18Forty:NEWSLETTER: 18forty.org/joinCALL: (212) 582-1840EMAIL: info@18forty.orgWEBSITE: 18forty.orgIG: @18fortyX: @18_fortyWhatsApp: join hereBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/18forty-podcast--4344730/support.

Helen here folks, I know Kory normally starts off the episode notes with something sports related so uhhh…. I saw that the 2025 “City Connect” designs were unveiled recently, and the DC ones look pretty; I might need to buy one of the hats to add to my collection of “cherry blossom themed hats for DC sports teams” (especially since I lost my Caps hat in that vein last year, noooo). Now that that's out of the way, no Kory or Apryll this time but I am joined by Justin (@kami_nomi) of The OASG, who is my cohost on the other podcast I, uh, cohost, “It's Not My Fault The OASG Podcast Is Not Popular!” We're talking about the J-Novel Club (Heart imprint) release of Trials and Tribulations of My Next Life as a Noblewoman, which is a big and plot heavy series so we have both a spoiler-free section and then a spoiler-filled section about why the nickname “josei Game of Thrones” is VERY accurate for this series! As always, you can find me on bsky @nidokorn, and my co-hosts Helen (@WanderinDreamr) and Apryll (@manjiorin) on bsky at those places in the parenthesis. You can find both of their writing at The Organization of Anti-Social Geniuses, more of Helen's writing at Narrative Investigations, and my writing at the Fandom Post and Awko Tako.

It was something out of a dream.In this episode, I'm talking with Mac from Maction Planet, the tour guide who made our trip special. He is originally from the UK but has lived in Japan for over 20 years. He first came here for the Soccer World Cup and fell in love with the country.Mac is not your typical guide, he's got this insane passion for Japan and knows how to craft an experience that feels personal and unforgettable.We cover everything from Japan's safety and civility to its awe-inspiring food scene. I'm talking tiny restaurants where chefs treat cooking like fine art, with no tipping culture and some of the best craftsmanship I've ever seen.We also discuss what makes Japan so clean and organized, the mesmerizing fusion of Shintoism and Buddhism, and yes... the tea ceremony that changed my entire outlook on life.If you have never been to Japan or are thinking about going, you don't want to miss this one.

Elissa Felder buried her 4 month old firstborn son, Sam, exactly 35 years ago. She speaks with Eve Harow about her journey through her grief to a greater understanding of Judaism and specifically the customs of burial and the ideas of the afterlife. In her new book she shares the wisdom she has learned, for example; that death is life affirming and yet a transition; Jewish burial prepares you for the ultimate intimate encounter with God; grief can be compared to a snowflake that is unique to everyone and many more profound thoughts. Love and kindness is how we bring meaning to our very fleeting lives on earth. Elissa is also a coordinator for the international organization Core, encouraging women to strengthen their Jewish communities. She is beginning a book tour- invite her to your community for an evening of possibilities and deep faith.
Message Franciska to share how a specific episode has impacted YOU. franciskakay@gmail.com In this episode, Elissa Felder shares her journey from growing up in London with a Jewish background to her life in the U.S., working for a nonprofit organization called CORE. She discusses her personal religious transformation and professional path, as well as the profound experiences following the loss of her child. Elissa delves into the cultural and religious aspects of Jewish mourning traditions, her involvement with the Chevra Kadisha, and how these experiences inspired her to write a book. She also offers insights into understanding grief, the concept of the soul in Jewish teachings, and the broader communal support for those who have lost loved ones. Alyssa's story is one of growth, learning, and the strength found within community and tradition. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 01:08 Elissa's Background and Journey 02:00 Life in America and Professional Work 03:08 Personal Story and Book Inspiration 03:52 The Journey of Loss and Learning 06:11 Understanding and Sharing Grief 09:42 The Role of Chevra Kadisha 13:16 Jewish Burial Traditions and Beliefs 18:12 Reflections on Life and Death 30:05 The Power of Silence in Mourning 30:47 Personal Reflections on Shiva 33:04 Jewish Mourning Traditions and Practices 34:12 The Journey of the Soul 37:34 Losing a Child: A Deep Personal Loss 42:24 The Role of Chevra Kadisha 53:06 The Hierarchy of Loss and Grieving 58:01 Finding Meaning and Moving Forward About Our Guest: Elissa is the Coordinator of Core's Communities of Practice (CoP). In this role she facilitates connections, conversations and development of all the Core communities, provides essential support to CoP leaders and oversees the seamless execution of events. She plays a key role in enhancing the professional growth and community building efforts within each community. (www.CoreTorah.org) In addition, Elissa is the Founding Director of Core Connects RI, a non-profit organization that aims to deepen women's connections to one another, to Jewish wisdom and Jewish values, to empower each other to find greater meaning, purpose and possibility in life and to cultivate unity without uniformity. Elissa was born in London, England and in 1985 married her American husband and they started their married life in Washington, DC. After the death of her first child, Elissa started to explore Judaism in much greater depth. In her quest to understand the loss of her baby she explored Jewish sources in general and more specifically regarding death and the afterlife. She is very active on her local Chevra Kadisha, and she speaks widely on this topic. Elissa started and actively manages Core's community of practice for women engaged with traditional Chevra Kadisha. To date it is truly an international community of hundreds of women from all over the US and Canada, the UK, France, Sweden, Holland, France, Italy, Israel, Chile, Panama, Mexico, South Africa and even Australia. The mission of the community is to share experiences, give encouragement, network and help to develop and support each other. Elissa is responsible for providing on-going professional development for the community. The knowledge she has acquired motivated her to write a book which is a personal memoir of loss and grief with the Jewish teachings about life, death and the afterlife woven into the story. The book, “From One Life to the Next Life; The Sacred Passage After Death,” is due to be released at the beginning of the summer with Mosaica Press. Through all of these experiences Elissa mentors and encourages others on their journeys Buy The Book: https://www.amazon.com/One-Life-Next-sacred-passage/dp/1961602474 www.Elissafelder.com https://www.facebook.com/mummy.felder Check out: www.JewishCoffeeHouse.com for more Jewish Podcasts on our network.

Feeling stuck and dissatisfied with where you are in your life is never a place we want to be in. Perhaps you are contemplating a major life change - moving to a new city, quitting your job, leaving a long term relationship - that you believe will be the antidote to your future happiness and fulfilment. Psychology shows that this might not always be the case. Wanting to change something about our environment may reflect that the true change we need to make is internal. We are joined by Dr Lisa Marie Bobby, host of the Love, Happiness and Success podcast as she talks us through the unexpected ways we can unlock and begin our next chapter in life. Listen now!
