For years we have languished under the oppression of our ANNCast overlords, who refuse to even record a podcast at the East Coast’s largest anime convention, Otakon. So, with the help of our fearless captain Ed Sizemore, an intrepid team of Otakon pirate podcasters — including yours truly — have hijacked the Anime News Network‘s popular podcast to talk about Otakon 2012. Unfortunately the audio recording is one iteration away from Alvin Lucier’s “I am sitting in a room,” but I guess it’s in keeping with the pirate theme. Show notes and links after the break.
