Why We’re Bringing Something Genuine Back for Season Two

Last season, Something Genuine started with a simple idea: in an online world built around noise, outrage, performance, and endless scrolling, maybe people are still hungry for honest conversation.

Not “content.”

Not hot takes.

Not carefully manufactured internet personas.

Just people.

That idea led to “real” conversations I’ll genuinely never forget. Over the course of season one, guests opened up about anxiety, grief, loneliness, friendship, career uncertainty, social media pressure, creativity, fandom, and the communities that helped carry them through difficult seasons of life. We talked about anime and voice acting, of course—but we also talked about what it means to be human in spaces that sometimes make that easy to forget.

The response I received said that you all needed those conversations, too. Maybe all needed them more than we realized.

So I’m excited to share that Something Genuine returns this Wednesday with the launch of season two.

This season expands the scope of the series while keeping the heart exactly the same. We’ll be sitting down with guests from across anime and fandom for conversations that are reflective, funny, vulnerable, encouraging, and, hopefully, humanizing.Among this season’s guests are voice actors, a journalist, a sports figure, a cosplayer, and others whose stories surprised me in the best ways possible.

What continues to encourage me most about this series is how quickly walls tend to come down. Once the strems starts and the pressure to “perform” fades a little, people often become remarkably open about their fears, ambitions, failures, insecurities, and hopes. And in those moments, labels matter less. Follower counts matter less. Even fandom itself starts becoming secondary to something deeper.

We just start seeing each other as people again.

That’s what I hope Something Genuine can continue to be.

Thank you to everyone who supported season one, shared clips, watched interviews, encouraged guests, or simply spent time with us. Your support genuinely helped make a second season possible.

Please follow us YouTube, hit the notification button, watch our season one videos, and be anticipating the new season.

Episode one drops this Wednesday, and I truly think this season contains some of the best conversations we’ve had yet.

See you, then!
