Most anime podcasts spend way too long just rehashing what the show was, episode by episode. Baka Banter instead provides insights, opinions, and even significant research for each episode. It's thoughtful, humorous, and showcases a wide variety of content. From deep dives, thorough interviews with industry experts, seasonal discussions, and even tournament episodes, there's a lot to discover, regardless of your taste in anime. Their ability to feed off each other is engaging and a consistent source of humor and really makes the show. It's the only anime podcast I consistently listen to.
