An outstanding Digimon Podcast

“Hey-ya. GleamingGarmore here. I’m a long-time listener and I’ve come to tell you what you’re getting yourself into if you decide to listen.
There’s three distinct eras of Lost In Translationmon: The Classic Era, The Audiobook Era, and The Modern Era.
The Classic Era is the majority of the podcast’s backlog. The Podcast’s main host, May (a constant in all 3 Eras) guides their friend Jay (Who prior to the show was very much not a fan of digimon.) as they watch the Japanese and English dubs for every single season of digimon up through Xros Wars. The two have engaging banter back and forth. Having someone who has zero nostalgia for Digimon adds some perspective on it all. Just by discussing what does and does not work, they increased my appreciation for Digimon as a franchise. A lot is wrong with it but, it holds a lot of potential as well. Some of my favorite moments as a digimon fan come from listening to this era of the podcast and I return to it every few months. (Examples include: “Wouldn’t it be wild if Tamers was actually a universe reset by Vamdemon?” “Breath of Wyvern takes you to the moon” and truly coming to understand that Terriermon is ALWAYS inclined toward violence. Evolution just gives him the power to act and he would be unstoppable if he had a gun or knife.)
I did not listen very much during the Audiobook Era. It wasn’t my cup of tea. But I CAN recommend it to anyone who is looking for audio translations of the Digimon Adventure novels. There are also a few solo episodes where May discusses things like Digimon Mobile games. I feel that May’s solo episodes are a bit more awkward because one of their strengths is bouncing off of others in conversation. (That’s no insult. I’m the same way.)
The Modern Era of Lost In Translationmon begins with the release of Digimon Adventure (2020). May is joined by Stevie and Quinn from The Moncast to review every episode of the new series as they come out. The three of them interact very well with one another. You can tell they’re good friends. The fact that they’re reviewing an unfinished show means that you get to theorize along with them as well.
(Also, Quinn helped me with my homework one time, which is neat)”

“I've recently discovered how bad the dub changes were in Digimon after rewatching the movie. So it made me curious to go and rewatch the show from the beginning in JP and now I want to watch the episodes that Jay and May watch and follow along with them. There's a huge contrast between...”Read full review »

“I stumbled across this podcast on iTunes while I was looking for something to listen to at work and amongst all the ones I have found this is by far my favorite. I watched Digimon as a kid and was hyped for Tri and wanted to watch the original media in its raw form however I have neither the...”Read full review »
