Ultra Podcast Z 87 (Sonic The Hedgehog Nonsense) | Movie, Games, Cartoons, Memes, Rainfurrest, More!2/19/2020 Live Broadcast:
February 18, 2020 7:00 PM PST Hosts: Manuel Konaru Description: Ultra Podcast Z had a hiccup of a Sonic Special but we had a lot of fun pulling it off! Originally supposed to have featured both Teepu (who was STILL going to show up during the show but never did) and three hosts who had all seen the movie (Teepu had though RIP) but we still had a lot to talk about! We opened with random Retail Recap Nonsense and some recent Idol Graduations just as a nice warm up before we dived into it. We covered all things Sonic in somewhat of a haphazard way, but we discussed the new movie, the old movie, the TV shows, the games, and the memes. We even decided to bring furries into the mix and discussed Rainfurrest (which we misspelled on the podcast proper... RIP) and our hopes to have a furry podcast soon! Anyhow, enjoy and be sure to let us know what you thought of the new Sonic The Hedgehog movie and your thoughts/memories of the franchise!

Ultra Podcast Z 86.5 (Skribblio Randomness w/ Jordan) | Valentine's Day, Dragonball Evolution, More!2/12/2020 Live Broadcast:
February 11, 2020 7:00 PM PST Hosts: Manuel Konaru Jordan Description: Ultra Podcast Z took a slight break this week with a fun little Skribblio stream with no script or outline of any sorts. As such, it can be a little random and might not be for all of our normal viewers, but we had a lot of fun here and we think you will too! Besides our games of Skribblio (best of three btw!) we discussed things like our upcoming Valentine's Day plans, "Magibon" and how the early internet was basically one big mistake, Paul Reubens' odd case of being caught "helping himself" in an adult theater, and whether all the "bad" live action adaptations are REALLY bad or not. The latter mainly regarding the upcoming Sonic The Hedgehog movie that we plan on all catching! Anyhow, we hope that you enjoy this slight break in our normal schedule (as opposed to us just taking a week off) so please let us know what you think!

Ultra Podcast Z 86 (Ecchi Nonsense w/ Haro & Weston) | Anime, Joker JAV, Hentai, Shinjuku, and More!2/5/2020 Live Broadcast:
February 4, 2020 7:00 PM PST Hosts: Manuel Konaru Haro Weston Description: Ultra Podcast Z is ecchi! Haro and Weston joined us for a night of ecchi nonsense where we discussed all everything from our first exposure to hentai, what some of our favorites are, awkward stories and more! Along with these personal anecdotes, we discussed "Interspecies Reviewers" being removed from Funimation Now, The Joker JAV parody movie starring Yui Hatano, and the... "kitty" themed idol group "Make It"! With some randomness about our weekend that involved a projectile-vomiting Tinkerbell Between all this, we also discussed how to travel safely in Shinjuku, so you're welcome in advance! . There is a lot of fun nonsense here and it was a rather chill take on a deep topic! If you have any similar ecchi stories to share, be sure to do so in the comments!

January 28, 2020 7:00 PM PST Hosts: Manuel Konaru Callie Description: Ultra Podcast Z is back and so is Konaru! She's back from Japan only missing the first episode of the year! Also returning is Callie who was on quite a few times in the past as well! This one had a lot of randomness all around and started with us talking about Sakamichi and AKS nonsense, the Tokyo Love Story remake and streaming services in Japan, and the big topic of the night, New and Upcoming Anime & Gaming releases for 2020! We covered a lot of titles in both categories but had a lot of fun talking about the Oshi to Budokan anime, "22/7 (Nanabun no Nijyuuni)", Interspecies Reviewers, Beastars, and LOTS more! Gaming was mostly dominated by talk of Animal Crossing: New Horizons but we also talked about titles like the Final Fantasy VII Remake, Breath of The Wild 2, and more! Lots to discuss and this was one of our most fun episodes in recent memory so be sure to check it out!

Ultra Podcast Z 84 (2020 Debut w/ Jasmine & Hinacchi) | 48G & AKS Changes, Idol & J-Pop Predictions1/23/2020 Live Broadcast:
January 22, 2020 7:00 PM PST Hosts: Manuel Jasmine Hinacchi Description: Ultra Podcast Z is back! This is the first episode of the new year and the new decade! Konaru is currently out of the country and filling in for her directly is Jasmine and we were also joined by Hinacchi! This rather chill episode took a look at some of the stories we covered last year which have updates (namely the X1 and IZ*ONE voting scandals) and some recent rumblings of a nameless idol being busted for doing drugs. From there we took a deep dive at the mess that is AKS's change to "Vernalossom" and what that means for the idol world at large. We then jumped to the big topic of the night which was "Idols In The Rawring 20s" and what some of our thoughts and predictions are going into the new decade. We discussed everything from the changing idol standards, the lessening of JASRAC nonsense, and whether the scene will grow more overseas or pretty much stay as it is. We came back with a big bang and you should check it out! If you want to watch Ultra Podcast Z live then check out our twitch channel: twitch.tv/atojplays We are live every Tuesday at 7 PM PST! Ultra Podcast Z 83 (2019 Final w/ Callie & Molly) | Vic Mignogna, ProJared, Produce 101, BTS, More!12/18/2019 Live Broadcast:
December 17, 2019 7:00 PM PST Hosts: Manuel Konaru Callie Molly Description: Ultra Podcast Z is closing out the year (and the decade!) with a special episode where we take a look at some of the biggest stories of the year that we didn't cover on the podcast even though we discussed them a lot internally, and sometimes even in the offshoots of the show. Joining us to take on four HUGE topics this time around are Callie (who has been on the most times in 2019 even though we barely met her recently!) and Molly. We covered four crazy big topics and probably were a little too ambitious in squeezing them into the show. The four topics were the Vic Mignogna Scandal, the ProJared Scandal, The Produce 101 Vote Rigging Scandal, and the recent "H3H3 Is Over Party" Scandal going on rather recently. Some topics got a lot more time and we still had some time for our off-topic remarks and anecdotes so be sure to check out our hot takes on somewhat cold topics! Also, we must reiterate that we don't intend to be offensive or argumentative (though we did argue quite a bit on the show here and there!) so if you disagree with our views please keep those disagreements civil, and either way feel free to let us know what you think in the comments section below and we hope to catch everyone in 2020 and beyond!

A huge heartfelt thanks to everyone who watched and supported us in 2019! Ultra Podcast Z 82 (Visual Kei Then And Now w/ Dangelo & Racheal) | History, "Is VK Dead?", More!12/11/2019 Live Broadcast:
December 10, 2019 7:00 PM PST Hosts: Manuel Dangelo Racheal Description: Ultra Podcast Z is closing out the year with a series of episodes looking back on the past ten years! This second episode is a sort of sister episode to last week's on J-Pop as we took a deep dive into Visual Kei! No Konaru this time around and we were joined by two guest hosts: Dangelo & Racheal! We discussed how we got into VK and took a nice hard look at how the scene has either changed or stayed the same over the years. Besides discussing changes and more, we also discussed things that we feel helped bring the scene to its current state and what we think about future growth. Beyond all this we also tackled some controversial topics such as the eternal "Is Visual Kei Dead?" question as well as the current "genre" of visual kei. Lots of fun to be had here on a very different topic that we hope to touch upon again in the future so be sure to check it out!

Ultra Podcast Z 81 (J-Pop Then And Now w/ melancholiaah) | Memes, Hello! Project, BABYMETAL, More!12/4/2019 Live Broadcast:
December 3, 2019 7:00 PM PST Hosts: Manuel Konaru melancholiaah NOTE: We apologize for all the audio issues in the podcast. Namely Manuel's microphone being too low, but we hope that it is still watchable. We plan to prep audio better in the future. Description: Ultra Podcast Z is closing out the year with a series of episodes looking back on the past ten years! This first episode sees the return of Max (melancholiaah) as guest host and we discussed the changes in J-Pop over the past ten years. First though, we had a nice discussion on how being a meme several times over is like as Max recently hit meme status again with her "Toad Sings" series. Along with this were some serious takes on how the scene has changed and how our own listening habits have also, as well as how groups like Dempagumi.inc, BiS, Momoiro Clover, and BABYMETAL have changed the scene. There was also a deep dive into the effect KPop has had on the idol/J-Pop field and more on what it makes being a fan of JPop in 2019 and beyond. It wasn't all fun and games and on topic though as these kind of things always go, we had a lot of fun discussing Kidz Bop and more! Be sure to check it out and we apologize again for the audio issues.

Ultra Podcast Z 80 (A-to-J Anniversary Special w/ Molly) | Early A-to-J, Convention Memories, More!11/28/2019 Live Broadcast:
November 26, 2019 7:00 PM PDT Hosts: Manuel Konaru Molly Description: Ultra Podcast Z was going to take this week off but following the absence of Molly on last week's retrospective episode, we decided to give it a go with the end of year retrospective shows! We were all a little tired here (this was right before Thanksgiving after all) but we had a lot of fun telling stories that haven't really been heard in a live setting. It's also fun knowing that Molly is the current longest-running member in A-to-J! There was a lot of randomness, a lot of storytelling, and we even telegraphed the rest of the year's podcasts on it so be sure to check it out! We ALSO references Max's "Toad Sings" covers and we most definitely got copyright claimed for it! We're going to have a couple more retrospective type episodes to close out the year (on different topics though) but please keep supporting us so we can continue on for another five years!

Ultra Podcast Z 79 (A-to-J Anniversary Special w/ Teepu) | History, Behind The Scenes, and More!11/20/2019 Live Broadcast:
November 19, 2019 7:00 PM PDT Hosts: Manuel Konaru Teepu Description: Ultra Podcast Z took a couple weeks off to recover from our Halloween specials but we are back! We're nearing the big FIFTH ANNIVERSARY of A-to-J Connections so we decided to mark this return with a fun look back at those five years! This podcast was originally going to have five people, but Tiffany and Molly (who have been seen on past UPZ episodes) ultimately didn't make it. We did move along though and covered a lot of A-to-J history, some of our best and worst moments, and even some behind the scenes stuff that we've never shared publicly before! This was a fun episode and if you've ever wanted to get a look at how things go away from the public eye, or if you just want to sit down for a long "storytime" type episode, then be sure to check this one out! We're going to have a couple more retrospective type episodes to close out the year (on different topics though) but please keep supporting us so we can continue on for another five years!
