Hi Everyone,
Very few of you may know what's been going on in my personal life, so I figured I would take a moment to share. As much as I wish that ISE was my full-time job, it's not, even though I spend about 40 hours a week on it. With that being said, I did work a 9-5 job, and I've been at that position for four years. Today is my last day at my place of employment as they have filed for bankruptcy and will be shutting the doors at 3PM today. While I knew that my time at this job was going ...

Hala agrees, and Ash faces his first trial: battling the enormous Totem Gumshoos and its allies to gain their assistance! SBJ and Irene talk about Misty and Brock coming back a little bit too.

Hello Trainers!
I'm going to keep Speq updated with the streaming schedule for twitch.tv/pkmncast. When you click on it and check it out, it should display the times for the streams in your timezone. Perth watchers, fear no more of missing a stream because of not understanding the position of the Sun!
Monday nights will continue to be dedicated to PTCGO. Irene, Micah, and I will continue to tackle the LeafGreen playthrough. The goal is to finish the game before Ultra Sun &...

Hey All,

If you are going to PAX or are just in the area, please don't hesitate to tweet at me or Slack me so we can meetup! There is no official meet-up this year, as not everyone can adjust to one time, but that doesn...

I honestly cannot believe I have been talking weekly about Pokémon for seven years now. I don't have much to say, but thank you. Thank you for supporting what I do. Doing the podcast is a highlight of my week and hearing your feedback and thoughts about it only makes it better.
I feel like every content creator says this, but I hope to do even more stuff in the future. I am working on about three new projects right now that I am excited to share soon. With Ultra Sun & Ultra...

Ash offers a piece of his sandwich to a wild Litten, but it grabs the whole thing and runs off! Ash disagrees—he wants to catch Litten and teach it not to steal food! SBJ & Irene swoon over the cat animation and storytelling in this Pokémon-focused episode.

The anime series has been a consistent contender for debate over the life of "It's Super Effective." To put an end to this said debate, I am starting a new podcast series! Starting with Season 20 (Sun/Moon), Episode 01, Irene will join me in watching and talking about each episode of the Pokémon anime. As of this posting, there are 11 episodes of the current season that we plan to podcast about after watching. Right now, there are 32 episodes of the Sun/Moon season scheduled with probably more ...
