Ultra Podcast Z 127 (Pokémon w/ Jasmine & Kyuu) | New Games, Favorites, Eeveelutions, TCG, More!3/12/2021 Live Broadcast:
March 9, 2021 6:00 PM PST Hosts: Manuel Nyaru Jasmine Kyuu Description: Ultra Podcast Z took a week off and we're back with four hosts! It's been a while since we've had two guests on and it would be for a special Pokémon night! We had some issues with the live stream but it's all here in one piece. Also, while we're on the topic of problems we had, there is a slight gap in the middle where we lost about a minute due to a rendering error and the audio was a little iffy throughout. We know that's a lot of negative stuff but this was actually a really fun episode! This marks Kyuu's first time on UPZ and she even dressed for the occasion! Her collection is pretty great and we had a lot of time going over that as we discussed our thoughts on the series and the franchise in general. With a franchise this big it was obvious that we'd have more than our share of opinions on it and there was definitely that in this show, but it's also refreshing to have a topic where everyone is 100% well-versed in the topic and is able to toss out a lot of knowledgeable asides. A lot of what we discussed was opinions though so we'd love to hear what you think about our views and stuff and maybe let us know what some of your Pokémon favorites are! As always, take care of yourselves and each other in these trying times and stay healthy and safe!

Ultra Podcast Z 126 (Giving Bad Advice w/ Pleiades) | Relationship & Life Advice, Storytime, More!2/26/2021 Live Broadcast:
February 23, 2021 6:00 PM PST Hosts: Manuel Nyaru Pleiades Description: Ultra Podcast Z has had a lot of "weird" themed episodes before but this one is one of the weirdest. It was all based around the theme of "Bad Advice Delivered Badly" (and yes, we know about the odd grammar in that phrase) due to a meeting Manuel had regarding starting a popular podcast. Seeing as we're a pretty home-y, low rent podcast with all sorts of issues (but we're doing our best!) we decided to run with this with some intentional "problems" and many others that popped up during the show that we didn't really intend for but went with the them really well. Basically we relied on our live audience to ask us for advice and we'd give it with an air of satire about it. The problem with that concept was that it required us to have a very large, active audience which isn't something that UPZ consistently has... We soldiered on though and filled in a lot of the dead space with random storytime, talks about anime, and even some examples of "bad advice" we've seen or have been given. If we ever do this style of show again (well, WHEN we do as we definitely will) we might gather up some topics from our audience beforehand to give advice to live, but then again that wouldn't be as much fun as going in completely unsure and cold... We shall see! As always, take care of yourselves and each other in these trying times and stay healthy and safe!

Ultra Podcast Z 125 (Valentine's Day Nonsense w/ Hinacchi) | Idol Updates, The Idol Love Ban, More!2/19/2021 Live Broadcast:
February 16, 2021 6:00 PM PST Hosts: Manuel Nyaru Hinacchi Description: Ultra Podcast Z didn't take a break this week for once! We had for this "Valentine's Day" episode planned to be BEFORE Valentine's Day but things kept getting pushed back so now it's AFTER Valentine's Day. That said, was it REALLY a Valentine's Day episode though? We talked about it briefly and did a nice recap, but we REALLY went off the deep end with talks of food, chocolate, travel, and all sorts of storytime nonsense. Part of this was due to the fact that we never actually opened the pre-written outline and rather than go at the first half by things we had written, we decided to be REALLY random and fill the entire first hour with a lot of nonsense that we hope is still watchable and enjoyable. The second half was a lot more structured though and even though we still didn't have the outline for the finer details, we still covered most of the topics we planned to. Basically there was a LOT of idol news in recent memory that we've missed over the weeks/months and that happened literally within days of the show. We covered Kozue from DANCEROID joining Dempagumi, how unique Dempagumi actually is in the idol scene, and then covered the current Sayuki Takagi scandal and talked yet again about the so-called "love ban". Lots to cover there and it was equally fun when we attempted to stick to a script. Anyhow, check it out and let us know what you think about what we covered! As always, take care of yourselves and each other in these trying times and stay healthy and safe!

February 9, 2021 6:15 PM PST Hosts: Manuel Nyaru Jasmine Description: Ultra Podcast Z took yet another break as we were off the week before (Making way for the F.A. Podcast's first episode though.) but we came back with a topic that has been pushed so far back that we're already done with a chunk of 2021! This was originally envisioned as the first episode of the year but was pushed back as Melancholiaah's availability changed and we had the random aside to talk amusement parks/roller coasters. So we're nicely into February 2021 and we're choosing now to take a look at all the upcoming media we're looking forward to in the new year. Well, maybe if you factor this as a Lunar New Year thing we can still be considered on top of it! Anyway, we discussed a lot of anime, video games, and movies with a too many titles to name here. Lots of things came to us as we went along and we even discussed lots of randomness at the end. Also, bear with the shaky start to this one as we had some technical difficulties to overcome in the first 15 minutes or so that thankfully don't plague the show proper. Did we mention that this show also means that our Valentine's Day-themed episode is pushed back now? Let's hope we catch up to the schedule before 2021 is over!

Ultra Podcast Z 123 (Amusement Parks w/ Josh) | Tokyo Disney Sea, Favorites, Roller Coasters, More!1/29/2021 Live Broadcast:
January 26, 2021 6:00 PM PST Hosts: Manuel Nyaru Josh Description: Ultra Podcast Z took a small break last week as we prepared for the launch of our new "Full Hard Podcast" but we are back with the episode topic we postponed! It actually turned out for the best that we postponed this one as we met Josh on the most recent DTL and, in typical fast-moving A-to-J nonsense, he would co-host on this one as well! He had a lot to share as he was quite the roller coaster enthusiast in his youth and while this was meant to be something of a filler, or even throwaway, topic, we had a LOT of fun with this one and the show just flew by live with a very active chat! We didn't even ease into this one as we started ranting about our love for Tokyo Disney Sea within minutes of going live forgoing our usual slow weekly recap intro. We had an outline for this one and while we pretty much covered everything in it, it was in a somewhat random fashion so the topics we covered were a little all over the place. That said, this one probably works best if you just watch the whole thing so sit back and enjoy! Also, be sure to let us know your favorite amusement park, roller coaster, or memories in the comments below! As always, take care of yourselves and each other in these trying times and stay healthy and safe!

Ultra Podcast Z 122 (Predictions w/ melancholiaah!) | Updates, Events In 2021, Resolutions, More!1/15/2021 Live Broadcast:
January 12, 2020 6:00 PM PST Hosts: Manuel Nyaru melancholiaah! Description: Ultra Podcast Z is back! It's the start of a new year and while the jury is out if this is the start of a new decade (We discussed whether the "ten" year is part of the previous decade or start of the next during this show.) we definitely have some waking up to do in this one! It's 2021 Prediction time and this was actually an episode we planned to do between Christmas and New Year in 2020 but it never happened, so here we are now! That said, we were more than a little beat and had some getting into the groove to do in this one as that two-week break was a little hard to shake off, but baring some issues with the stream that made us lose our rhythm a little, we were able to get into form after some shakiness! It's always a pleasure to have melancholiaah on and we were able to tackle some topics that we have touched upon all of the 2020 but from a different angle. That said, this was definitely a more loose episode even though we actually did have an outline for this one. This one is more of the crew just needing to jump back into things and have a bit more random fun here and we think we suceeded. Anyhow, expect a full 2021 of Ultra Podcast Z! As always, take care of yourselves and each other in these trying times and stay healthy and safe!

Ultra Podcast Z 121 (2020 In Review III w/ Badman & Haro) | ACNH, Among Us, Movie Theaters, More!12/25/2020 Live Broadcast:
December 22, 2020 6:00 PM PST Hosts: Manuel Nyaru Badman Haro Description: Ultra Podcast Z is wrapping up the year with some episodes looking at 2020 and some stories that we either missed or that we felt like looking back on with more time to reflect on them. This week was supposed to be the final UPZ of the year but we're planning an Episode 122 (which will be a 2021 Predictions episode) but we wrapped up our trilogy of sorts with 2020 In Review. This one was a bit more random than the other two and while we would ultimately be joined by both Badman and Haro, we spent about three quarters of the show as a trio. We ended up talking about randomness and the first topics for far longer than we thought we would and we almost didn't cover all the stories we intended to, BUT we had the longest, slowest outro ever and managed to actually cover all our topics in one way or another. We were all over the place, but without touching on some touchier subjects of 2020, we definitely covered a lot of big stories here and we had a lot of fun and randomness throughout. It's Christmas though so hopefully this entertains in what is one of the weirdest holiday seasons we've ever had. As always, take care of yourselves and each other in these trying times and stay healthy and safe!

Ultra Podcast Z 120 (2020 In Review II w/ Jasmine) | Game Awards 2020/21, Anime Cons In 2020, More!12/18/2020 Live Broadcast:
December 15, 2020 6:00 PM PST Hosts: Manuel Nyaru Jasmine Description: Ultra Podcast Z is wrapping up the year with some episodes looking at 2020 and some stories that we either missed or that we felt like looking back on with more time to reflect on them. This week saw the return of Nyaru just in time to take part in the penultimate episode of UPZ. We didn't have as diverse a topic pool as we did the previous week, but we had two big topics that we really wanted to look at: Video Games In 2020 and Conventions In 2020/Things We Don't Want To See Return. Lots of hot takes and our personal opinions in the second one along with some predictions on how cons will return and what our views are on the online conventions that started popping off a lot throughout 2020 so be sure to check that out. The video game topic was a bit more all over the place and chill and included us actually running down the entire list of awards given at the recent Game Awards and our thoughts on the titles. We also talked some of our favorite games like Animal Crossing, Flight Simulator, and Among Us. We also talked a bit about Cyberpunk 2077 and what the deal with that game is... There was even some internet nonsense here but we were able to recover and carry on. With that out of the way, be sure to catch the last episode of UPZ next week where we pick up different big topics of 2020 we may have missed the first time around!

Ultra Podcast Z 119 (2020 In Review w/ Tiffany & Snakz) | SEGA Arcades, JPop & KPop, NiziU, More!12/11/2020 Live Broadcast:
December 8, 2020 6:00 PM PST Hosts: Manuel Tiffany Snakz Description: Ultra Podcast Z is wrapping up the year with some episodes looking at 2020 and some stories that we either missed or that we felt like looking back on with more time to reflect on them. Seeing as Nyaru was gone this week we invited Tiffany and Snakz back and even though we didn't say so live during the show, they represent some of the longest running A-to-J members ever, each belonging to what we call "The First Gen" but enough of that. There was a lot of randomness here per usual BUT we had a lot of strong topics as there was an outline this time around! Don't worry though as we still went all over the place talking about the obvious topics of 2020 and going into some more obscure topics (for us) such as the oddly changing Kohaku lineup and why NiziU is EVERYWHERE these days! There was a lot of reminiscing about travel to Japan and other stuff, along with a brief dive into talking about Christmas as that's just around the corner as we speak, but we covered a LOT of topics in this one and we can't wait to revisit some more in the last two UPZs of the year! As always, take care of yourselves and each other in these trying times and stay healthy and safe!

Ultra Podcast Z 118 (Christmas Nonsense w/ Hinacchi) | Black Friday, Santa, Christmas Music, More!12/4/2020 Live Broadcast:
December 1, 2020 6:00 PM PST Hosts: Manuel Nyaru Hinacchi Description: Ultra Podcast Z is wrapping up the year with some episodes looking at Christmas and other End-of-Year stuff. First up in these episodes is a look at all things Christmas with Hinacchi! In another mostly unscripted episode (which actually HAD topics that were lost when everything crashed minutes before starting the show! RIP) we were a little all over the place at times but reigned ourselves in for some takes on Black Friday and working retail during it, Christmas gift memories, and believing in Santa Claus. There was a bit here and there on traditions and things that we're doing this year, but our bigger topic of the night was discussing Christmas music and some of our favorite songs. Christmas stuff aside, we talked about how to support your friends in these trying times by subbing to their onlyfans which you can do via the link below! Let us know your fav Christmas songs, memories, and when you stopped believing in Santa Claus in the comments and keep an eye out for all the awesome episodes on the horizon before our year-end break!
