First Four Seasons

The podcast began in January 2009 and new episodes were released on the first of each month through 2012. Each episode ran roughly 20 minutes. The format of a typical monthly episode was as follows:

  1. Segment 1
  2. Sponsor
  3. Segment 2
  4. Upcoming Conventions
  5. Segment 3
  6. Voice Mail, Q&A, or Commentary
  7. Credits and Bloopers

Weekly Episodes

In 2013, the podcast went weekly, releasing new episodes each Monday. Unlike the monthly format, each episode focuses on a specific topic rather than having multiple segments like the monthly episodes had. Each AnimeCons TV episode from season 5 onward is an average of 10 to 20 minutes in length. Episodes are hosted by one or two members of the AnimeCons TV crew. Episodes with more than two people are very rare and usually saved for special occasions like the annual year in review.

In January 2014, the podcast celebrated 100 episodes. The 100th episode included congratulatory videos from former guests such as Brian Brushwood and Kyle Hebert.
