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

Being single sometimes means being singled out, both by those in your life who are wondering why you haven’t married and by yourself as you ask the same things. Well, there’s a godly perspective on singleness that doesn’t necessarily align with the words we hear from within and without. Mike, Tyler, Paris, and Eryn, who range the gamut from single to engaged to married, dive into scripture, explain their stories, and look to anime (Midori Days, Food Wars, and Romantic Killer) and that great fantasy epic, The Lord of the Rings, as they tackle singlehood in episode 25 of the Tangle x Cast!
