An atheist and two Christians walk into a podcast… And they talk about Attack on Titan. Sorry, no joke here, just the short of Ashita no Anime’s most recent podcast, featuring Alexander, Japes, and myself. Though it’s about an older episode of Shingeki no Kyojin, I hope you’ll still check it out. I’m not much… Read More Attack on Titan Podcast at Ashita no Anime
