On this “very special episode” of The Power of God and Anime podcast, Mike chats with a really cool and unique artist: Shadow Fire! The two talk about her work as an ASMRist and voice actress, as well as about her testimony, appreciation for My Hero Academia, and what it’s like to be a believer creating God-honoring content in a niche creative sphere. Have a listen!
