#164 - An Interview with Samantha Ferreira on Anime Herald Magazine

Author: Third Impact Anime Podcast November 21, 2025 Duration: 1:18:14
Coming soon to a newsstand (meaning your mailbox or email inbox) near you; Anime Herald Magazine! Sully and Austin sit down with Samantha Ferreira, the founder and editor-in-chief of Anime Herald, to talk about her journey towards creating a brand-new anime print publication in an era where anime magazines aren't exactly plentiful anymore. Samantha tells us how she came to found Anime Herald 15 years ago, how bringing the website to print has been a long-held dream of hers, how she assembled an amazing team of writers, artists, and editors to collaborate with, and what readers can expect from this exciting new era of anime commentary in printed form. You can pre-order (or maybe even order by the time you're reading this) a copy of the magazine here. Thanks to Samantha for being on the show! You can connect with her on Bluesky and on her website AnimeHerald.com. If you enjoy this or any other episode, leave us a Rating and Review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or elsewhere!

Every other week, the conversation starts around a microphone with a group of longtime friends who have spent years hosting panels at anime conventions. Third Impact Anime Podcast is built from those late-night hotel lobby debates and packed conference room discussions, channeling that energy into a deep dive into the medium we love. This isn't just a review show; it's an exploration of the threads that connect classic series to today's trending hits, always with an eye on the artistic choices and cultural history that shape them. You'll hear us unpack new releases and revisit forgotten gems, share stories from the convention floor, and occasionally sit down with special guests from across the anime community. The result is a podcast that feels like hanging out with the most knowledgeable fans you know-the ones who can't help but talk a little too much about the details that make anime so compelling. Join us for a bi-weekly look at the artistry and passion that fuels this global phenomenon.
