Hi, I'm new to this forum but I have been a fan of the ANNCast podcast for a while, and I have a request.

Could you guys please do an interview with Agnes Chan Miling, UNICEF National Ambassador to Japan? I believe she speaks English, as she has a doctorate from Stanford.

She seems to be a controversial figure in Japanese anime fandom, as she has been campaigning for extending child pornography laws in Japan to include drawn depictions of minors.

She is not an 'industry person' per se, as her background is as a pop music singer and scholar. However she is a prominent person supporting legal changes that would seriously affect the anime and manga industry. Although she is not a legislator, I often see her mentioned in Japanese web forums when they discuss the proposed laws, and she has testified before the Japanese parliament on this matter.

On a unrelated technical note, the following ANNCast files are unavailable (error 404) to my podcast software, though the web-based flash player works:
2009/11/13 Tara & Yui's Infinite Conversation
2009/09/24 Toole Runnings
2009/09/18 My Neighbor Tatara
2009/09/11 Weaboo Weekend
2009/09/03 Bosch Spice

The software I am using is gpodder under Linux, on the RSS feed at animenewsnetwork.com/anncast/rss.xml?podcast=audio

Please fix this if possible.

But regardless, I love your podcast, guys!

It may be worth trying to reach Zac through Twitter and asking him there, perhaps? I don't listen to ANNCast regularly, but I'm pretty certain he takes tweets that suggest questions/topics.

Sorry, I don't have a twitter account. Can someone please text "Please interview Agnes Chan Milling of UNICEF Japan" to them?

animenewsnetwork.com/contact Read the page and make sure you're doing it right otherwise you'll just be ignored. That's a tip. "Editors" is what you're looking for.

Oh, sorry, I forgot they had their own e-mail. Click here, find Zac, and click on his name.

That'd be a very interesting guest to have on, if she's willing to come on our goofy anime podcast. Thanks for the suggestion!

Justin's the tech guy so I'll ask him about those missing episodes.

Thanks for listening! I need to close this up and move it out of the talkback forum; please feel free to email me any other comments or suggestions about the show. My email is [email protected].
