Sexiest Podcast Character 2024 — Scripted Bracket — Round 1

Propaganda

Burt Harddrive (Anime Sickos):

A private detective in the dystopian cyberpunk future where posting is mandated by law. Also he says he's cute so that's like in the bag

we all know the classic noir detective guy. talking to and about mysterious dames, wallowing in self pity, etc. but what if, while he was doing that stuff, he was also saying computer words and trying to uncover the secrets of the cyberpunk dystopia keeping him and all of his little buddies trapped in a nightmare of eternal posting? and what if when he said the computer words he did so in a gruff but enchanting voice you could listen to for hours as he narrated everything happening to him in real-time? what if his icy heart was warmed by the power of friendship? well personally speaking i think that’d be pretty sexy

Kate Burnham (The Bridge):

An agent who can do anything and is definitely haunted literally and maybe haunted metaphorically.

The Sickos watched the unbelievable indie silent slapstick comedy Hundreds of Beavers. Here's the thing: This movie is gaming. Watching this movie is the same as Minecraft except every two minutes you see the dumbest image of your life and go haw haw! We are absolutely in the tank for this movie and will go to war on its behalf. It's the only movie with a UI. You can watch the entire movie legally and for free on YouTube right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guE0Qd8BRw0

Writer, podcaster, game developer and poster Merritt K goes guesto mode! We discuss her new visual novel, Fledgling Manor, the sick soul required to be a wicked Asymmetrical, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, the sick compulsion to play Magic the Gathering despite it sucking ass, and our nostalgia for the bygone stink of a LAN party basement. This shit is so good. Happy new year freaks

Here's the horrible article Merritt referenced: https://a16z.com/anime-is-eating-the-world/

If you think this is a funny concept, consider listening to our audio dramas "Sicko Shock" and "Sicko Shock 2" which prominently feature "the Roguelike District" as a major plot point lol https://animesickos.com/audiofiction

it's a nice day out and I want to take a walk but I have nowhere to go... this is why I really need to move to the roguelike district

[animesickos]

I'm late on listening to it but the episode where you guys talk about Don Quixote and Moby Dick is my new favorite episode! Finally someone else appreciates how great of a comedy Don Quixote is!

It's true...I am the genius of books....thank you for taking the time to say this. It is very appreciated my wizard friend

I forgot to post here for like three months. Uhh. I made a newsletter that is an album-of-the-week club so I can write about music. If you want to read a white boy non-musician yammer for ages about music for freaks, uhh, maybe check it out. I will try to remember to post new episodes here too.

This latest @animesickos episode is unironically the best election post-mortem I've listened to all week. And it's got an absolutely BANGER take-down of the people who use "the male loneliness epidemic" as a political scapegoat.

The Sickos discuss Joe's recent layoff, and how getting laid off is fine, and it's easy to get a new job, and there WILL be a future, and you can depend on it, and it's easy and smart to feel confident in the future, and it's all going to be so normal.
