It's an evening with The Count, as our pre-Halloween podcast carries out a long-standing tradition of bringing the most spookiest special guest to the party! JR and Nef are joined by XAR twitch stream regulars Bri, Liz and Karam for a special group show! We also manage to sneak in another XAR tradition: playing live Mad Libs! Before that, the team talks about the late-breaking news of the new Nintendo Music online app (which was announced just a few hours before the podcast went to air), a recap of Super Mario Party Jamboree, professional Sumo news and the Ranma 1/2 reboot. We also tease a new Yumemi-themed plane livery for Flight Simulator!

Following The Count's departure and the end of the Podcast, the XAR gang continues on with more Halloween-themed Mad Libs! Be sure to visit our YouTube channel to watch the show in its entirety! The Podcast and After-Show will also be available on Twitch until November 13, 2024. For all links visit linktree.com/animeradio.
