AnimeCons TV
AnimeCons TV (formerly known as the AnimeCons.com Podcast) is a weekly podcast created by Patrick Delahanty and hosted by Robert "Sketch" Scholz, Elizabeth O'Malley, Doug "Nigoki" Wilder, Shiva, and other AnimeCons.com staff. It covers the latest news about anime conventions and other topics related to anime conventions such as cosplay, anime music videos, and guest interviews.
The podcast began in January 2009 and new episodes were released on the first of each month through 2012. Each episode runs roughly 20 minutes. The format of a typical monthly episode was as follows:
- Segment 1
- Sponsor
- Segment 2
- Upcoming Conventions
- Segment 3
- Voice Mail, Q&A, or Commentary
- Credits and Bloopers
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.
