Our most well-known guest yet joins us this week: Beau Billingslea, legendary voice of Jet Black in English dub! We talk Cowboy Bebop, Final Fantasy, Adventure Time, and whether Beau keeps bonsai trees. Plus, Lauren and Jamie unbox Ganymede Elegy, the story of a jilted ex who totally isn't bitter or anything.

Radical Edward is FINALLY on-screen! The crew is complete as our favorite hacker sets her sights on the Bebop and won't be denied. Our guest this week is Terry Gant, comic shop owner and podcaster extraordinaire.

Team Bebop is in top form this week, catching bounties galore! While on the hunt, Spike falls in with Roco, a classic baddie with a heart of gold. We know a lot about anime, but to truly "be like water," we needed a martial arts expert. Interactive media producer Eddie Doty is in the house to talk Bruce Lee, Jeet Kune Do, firearms, and ammunition. Content warning: This episode contains discussions of firearms, ammunitions, and the effects on the human body. Please listen with care...

People can't help but get pulled into the Bebop crew's misadventures! This time, a cargo-hauling, metal-loving, trucker queen joints the bounty hunt. Our podcast studio is full of folks, too, including Lauren's dad (yes, you read that right) and Melodee Spevack, the legendary voice of VT herself!

Cowboy Bebop successfully balances science and the supernatural, superstition and spirituality. No Session does this better than Sympathy for the Devil.
