For this episode, I have one of my good friends Rob (ElMexNico) joining as a guest. He created the Birb's Nest name, so it's only right for him to be on this podcast. Anyways, we talk about DND, games, and our opinions on Love Live and its future.Thanks to Denis Pavlov for the background music! All music credits go to him.Birb's Nest page: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/birbs-nestNoah/Fallen:Twitter: https://twitter.com/hexagoncubeArchive Of Our Own: https://archiveofourown.org/users/hexagoncubeYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@hexagoncubeMedium: https://hexagoncube.medium.com/DarthA:Twitter: https://twitter.com/ElMexNicoTimestamps:coming soon when I update it#birbsnest #podcast

For this solo episode, I talked about my 2025 experiences and 2026 wishes, as well as how my life has been, my future on my content creation, my 2026 Japan trip, the January Popipa concert, and the recent Bushiroad/BanG Dream news.Birb's Nest page: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/birbs-nestNoah/Fallen:Twitter: https://twitter.com/hexagoncubeArchive Of Our Own: https://archiveofourown.org/users/hexagoncubeYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@hexagoncubeMedium: https://hexagoncube.medium.com/#birbsnest #podcast

For this episode, I have one of my good friends and hayabros DarthA with me! We talk about Uma Musume, gush about the one and only Ai Hayasaka, as well as kinda just goofing around on many random topics until we hit almost 4 hours into this, making this the longest episode yet.

For this episode, I have yet again decided to do it solo. I talk about my life, how games have inspired me to write again, places I've loved that closed down, liking a new idol group, as well as merch-related topics.

This episode, our guest is one of my friends Astil! We talked about the anime we've watched recently, Love Live and the recent Aqours Final Live, as well as mobile games, where I went on a long rant about Asphalt 9 and Gameloft games as a whole. Of course, my usual SIF and SIFAS rant is in there too. This podcast episode was originally recorded on June 3rd, but the original file was corrupted and gone due to my SSD dying, so this is the newer version.

For this episode, I've decided to go solo! I talk about how my life have been recently, the media I've consumed, and my recent Japan trip, as well as my own experience of the Poppin'Party Budokan live! Also, please pardon the quality of the video. My laptop was out of service, so I had to use a less functional computer to edit this.

This episode, our guest is content creator and Aikyan fan kyowomii! We talk about our love for (no pun intended) Love Live, content creation on Youtube, and which Quintessential Quintuplets girl we love. Very long conversation, beating Episode 5 at that too.

For this episode, joining me is longtime friend, content creator, and writer Eri, also known as DeepSeaCocoon. We talk about content creation and writing for ourselves, as well as LoveLive and its future. I even ranted about Wattpad because the platform unfortunately sucks, and everything probably falls into Eri's lap.

We talked about K-pop, her proofreading experience, and our love for TWICE, as well as our writing progresses and Lyd representing the YouRiko nation. We even talked about Aqours's latest single and last concert. Also, this became the longest episode of the podcast thus far, funny how the record was beaten after just one episode.

We yap about Japan and gacha, and dabbled a bit in our writing and the future of ASW podcast. We had a lot to talk about, and it was kinda all over the place. I'm getting judged for my gacha spendings too.

This time, we have a recurring guest from the first season, Mari Ohara Uehara Shiny, or Mous in short. We discuss what we love about LEGO sets, what the Nesoberi Park is, as well as nesoberi and how to clean them. Even better, Mous has a better mic for the episode!

I've decided to come back to the podcast to talk about a few things and chill. Twitter: https://twitter.com/hexagoncube Archive Of Our Own: https://archiveofourown.org/users/hexagoncube Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@hexagoncube

This time, we have one of the most prominent and well-known YouRiko writers. We ask her general questions, and she really is a very nice person.

This podcast is messy, clunky, and short. Also, MOS sounds like he’s speaking from a stage in the theatre.
