Happy New Year, a tad late, heheh. In true BBB fashion, we show up right when all have given up hope that a new show is posted. This new episode was recorded 2 weeks ago, obviously before the sudden, shocking, and sad loss of Heath Ledger. His work as the Joker on "The Dark Knight" had been completed for some time, and he was currently filming on a new Terry Gilliam project. Our sympathies to his family and friends.

Time to deck the halls with this, our final podcast of 2007. And its a very special episode, entirely devoted to listener feedback on the contraversial topic of the anime industry. If you're bored to tears with hanging with all those relatives you only see this time of year, give this a spin on your PC, laptop, or MP3 listening device of your choice.
Perhaps you've read the buzz online from various studios and company representatives addressing the effects of piracy and low sales. This show focuses on this from the fans' perspective. Fansubs, pricing, technology, and whether or not the industry as a whole is on a crash course regardless of blame. These are the thoughts of the people who make it the mainstream phenomenon that it is in the first place: YOU.
No matter what your stance is, we truly think you'll find this an engaging and informative listen. As always, thanks for listening to the show. Have a fantastic holiday season and may 2008 be the best yet!
