Podacst Episode 8: Interview with James Wheatley (JamesWerty)

We're glad to be back after two months break with another podcast episode. For the 8th episode, we have our first returning guest, James Wheatley (JamesWerty), who was with us at the MCM London episode before. James is an English cosplayer whom I first met at MCM London last October, and he's done plethora of cosplays over the years, including Joel from Last of Us, Logan, and Iron Fist. 

Listen to James Wheatley tell us about his humble beginnings, his various cosplays, best moments cosplaying, personal interests, rants about cinema, and his future plans... which for the first time will have him shave his beard for a cosplay!

Episode 7: Interview with Miradel, E3 featured cosplay photographer

It was a year ago that Simone van der Steen (Miradel) decided to end her short cosplay career and be a cosplayer photographer instead. Without prior knowledge in photography, and a very modest gear, she focused on improving her skills, and managed to get her photoshoot work with Raven Star Cosplay as Aloy featured by Guerrilla Games at E3 2017! 

Listen to this exciting episode as we try to learn more about this rising Dutch cosplay photographer, and how she got where she is today.

Episode 6: MCM London Comiccon May 2017 Review

In this special episode we host three guests from MCM London Comiccon May 2017 and discuss our experience from London MCM, chat about swag, cosplays, accomodation and travel, and more. We wanted to hear from the cosplayers and photographers on the floor about their thoughts, and how they spend their day, and what effort goes in planning for it.

Our guests are James Werty (JamesWerty), Jade Sayers (OhNoItsJade), and Jessica Skidmore (AperturePhotography). We had a lot to talk about, and had a lot of fun doing so that we lost track of time, and hit almost 2 hours!
