  • LOVE Chris and Pete!

    This podcast is phenomenal!Awesome to listen to while drawing. Chris and Pete are a really dynamic duo, and I love how they don't fall into the anti-foreigner/conservative pitfall other Japan-centered content creators fall into. This podcast is truly a comfort for me! :)
