This week I’m joined by the incredible Panda. If you’re active on anitwitter, chances are you’re already familiar with her. She is a host on the Worst Gen Podcast, a moderator of the Anime After Dark clubhouse, and one of the creators of the Watcher’s 100 Challenge that many took part in last year. In this episode we discuss her anime journey, joining the Worst Gen Pod, doing the watcher’s challenge, making friends on Twitter, and more. Follow Panda: Follow The Wonder of Anime:
