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

One of the great struggles for Christians is figuring out how to navigate life in a world that doesn’t embrace biblical values. How to stay on the narrow path when the culture is so different—and often opposed—to biblical living? Our team finds some examples of how we might do so through how characters in several anime—Akiba Maid War, Princess Mononoke, A Silent Voice, and Oshi no Ko—live their lives. Join Paris, Mike, and Twwk, who’s sitting in for Tyler, as they investigate how those characters walk and talk differently from the world around them!

Cast Question: What’s your advice for living biblically in an unbiblical culture?
