#77 - Farewell, Hamacon

#77 - Farewell, Hamacon

Author: Third Impact Anime Podcast August 7, 2019 Duration: 2:25:08

A couple weeks ago, we were given the great pleasure of attending Hamacon in Huntsville, Alabama for the second year in a row as their Featured Panelists. This year's Hamacon was the last EVER and while we are sad to see it go, we are truly grateful for the great times and awesome friends we've made through it! 

In this con-versation episode, Tori, Tobias, Austin, and Edwin are joined by fellow podcast host, current co-director of Momocon, and former Director of Awesome at Hamacon, Basil Berchekas (@itsbasiltime on Twitter). Also, before we chat about Hamacon, Sully stops by to tell us about his experience traveling out to San Diego for Comic Con.

We also chat about the KyoAni arson attack, the history of Hamacon, our panels, and share con stories new and old.

Thank you for listening! If you'd like to support our show, please consider sharing it with your friends!

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.
