June 13, 2023 6:00 PM PDT Hosts: Manuel Janette Description: Ultra Podcast Z had something of a break. That's one of the most cliched things to say here, we know, but we did. There was a (somewhat) lost episode "Um... Anime" gameshow following FanimeCon weekend, and then we skipped the following week because of Manuel's ongoing internet issues (RIP to that week's Drink Talk Roll too). We came back this week to talk Summer Cons that we went to, will be going to, and maybe some recent video game stuff. We actually did have a lot of topics lined up but had some issues with host cancellations. Janette showed up though and we were able to talk FanimeCon (which Manuel went to at the end of May) and A-Kon (which Janette went to the weekend right before the show), so it was nicely on point for a change. We couldn't just go for it there though, we had to talk panels, Buc-ee's, and all sorts of older con memories. It was a fun episode even if it felt a little unfocused compared to the recent Ani-May shows, but that's just how it rolls sometimes. Will we be rebranding UPZ soon? Well, we hinted it here and there may be some news on the horizon! Stay tuned to find out! As always, take care of yourselves and each other in these trying times and stay healthy and safe!

January 25, 2023 6:00 PM PDT Hosts: Manuel Snakz Description: Ultra Podcast Z had a bit of shakiness as there were cons, sickness, and all-around cancellations that caused our return to happen a lot later than we would have hoped. Also, once we were ready to return a last minute concert made it that we were going to have to host this episode on a Wednesday instead of a Tuesday, which would normally be our gaming stream... but those are still awaiting their return too. It's a very odd situation that only effects us and the tens of people that watch, but an odd situation nonetheless. Snakz joined here as our original idea was to discuss ALA, recent cons, and some upcoming concerts and events for the year. We definitely did the first one but maybe lost the plot for a bit before coming back to randomness and discussing cons and events later this year. We did talk a bit about concerts here and there but a lot of our storytime might be lost to people who aren't regular viewers as there are some bits that lack context if you're just dropping in randomly. Sorry about that but episodes after long breaks usually have an odd feel to them where everyone is trying to get back into the groove of things, and this one is no exception. Anyhow, there's still some fun to be had here, especially when people finally showed up in the chat about halfway in, so check it out and let's look forward to 2023! Will UPZ survive past episode 200? We shall see... As always, take care of yourselves and each other in these trying times and stay healthy and safe!

Ultra Podcast Z 190 (2022 Events w/ Tiffany) Post 2020 Events & Conventions, 2023 & Beyond, More!12/10/2022 Live Broadcast:
December 6, 2022 6:00 PM PDT Hosts: Manuel Tiffany Description: Ultra Podcast Z is back to some regular scheduling, and our end-of-year episodes. This is always a weird time for us as we have the anniversary, the holidays (which we tend to never have time to REALLY cover), and end-of-year/look forward to next year stuff to talk about. As we mentioned on the last episode where we had Snakz on, we had Tiffany on this one to look back at 2022 and to talk a bit about our anniversary. It was fun having her on as she hasn't been on streams since around 2020. The core of this episode was supposed to be discussing what it's like going to events and conventions in 2022, arguably the first full year where the "panini" is considered "over". All that is arguable, but the fact of it is that we are all definitely going to events and those events are quite different than they were pre-2020. We definitely had a lot to say about this, especially Tiffany who experienced performing at conventions in 2022 and even unfortunately got sick in the middle of the year, but we didn't cover the topic as fully as we probably could've. That's what you sometimes get with UPZ though right? There was a lot of randomness at the beginning and the end, but also to be expected, but it was a fun episode and we're in the holiday season so let's just continue with the regularity as it is. Next week we're going to cover some of the hot topics we didn't cover in the main body of episodes, which we also sorta teased at the end of this one, and for the first time in a long while, it looks like we're going to have episodes right up until Christmas before taking a break until after New Year's. Good times. As always, take care of yourselves and each other in these trying times and stay healthy and safe!

August 9, 2022 6:00 PM PDT Hosts: Manuel Janette Description: Ultra Podcast Z took a week off for random nonsense and came back with a special episode that was supposed to feature Pleiades hosting and Janette on as a guest. As you can probably see from the finished product, only half of that equation came to pass. Thankfully JD was still available to host and this somewhat last minute episode went forward. We were originally going to do a trifecta of con discussion as the three hosts had all been to recent conventions in different parts of the country, but that wasn't to be so most of this show was about mahjong. What started as a thought about how Manuel had got a new mahjong set for his birthday turned into a discussion about the differences between Chinese, Japanese, and American Mahjong, and lots more. What was definitely decided was that we have a lot of strong views on mahjong and probably will be going forward with our mahjong gaming nights that we've been toying around with for the past couple months. When we do, will it be riichi though? Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions on easy ways to play Chinese mahjong online, please let us know in the comments below as that is something we are very interested in. Oh, and we talked a BIT about other stuff, but you can all just consider this the "Mahjong Episode". As always, take care of yourselves and each other in these trying times and stay healthy and safe!
