Our podcast is back with a new format, new hosts, and a new name! We’re proud to introduce to you Tangle x Cast, the latest version of the Beneath the Tangles podcast! Tyler, Mike, and Paris are the hosts, and they’re excited to talk to you more specifically about the crossover between anime (and other Japanese properties) and faith than we have in previous iterations of this podcast.

In today’s introductory episode, our hosts each give their “origin story,” explaining how they found anime, manga, and/or cosplay, as well as providing their personal testimonies. So sit back, listen, subscribe, and start learning about our new team!

Tangle x Cast Episode 1: A New Crew

Happy Wednesday, boys and ghouls! With Halloween just around the corner, the Tangle x Cast team haunts the world of horror anime, walking us through some of their recommendations and discussing how faith interacts with the spooky day. Believe me, you’ve never experienced anime, Halloween, and Christian conversation this way before!

We’d also love to hear your feedback! What are your horror anime recommendations? What did we miss?

Tangle x Cast 2: Halloween, Horror Anime, and Holiness

The warmth, gentleness, and sincerity of Studio Ghibli films seem to fit right into the theme of gratitude for the week as we enter the Thanksgiving holiday. Tyler, Mike, and Paris chat about thankfulness in today’s episode as they look toward three Studio Ghibli classics!

We’d also love to hear your feedback! What’s your favorite Studio Ghibli film and what themes of gratitude do you see in Ghilbi movies?

We also have a second question! Near the end of today’s episode, Mike mentions that our trio is like Team Guy from Naruto, but we need your help: What Naruto or other anime team would you nickname our trio after, and why?

Tangle x Cast 4: Ghibli and Gratefulness

The Tangle x Cast has moved! Come follow us on @beneaththetangles, where we'll share space with the other Beneath the Tangles podcast, Doki Doki News. We'll see you there!
