I really do recommend that people check out the 1UP podcast where they discuss the
Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise, which can be found here:

When I first heard that they were going to be doing an
Evangelion-centric podcast I assumed that it was going to be an absolute disaster, after all they don't specialise in anime and most discussions about anime on podcasts (and discussions about
Evangelion in particular) are just garbage.
Luckily, however, that's not the case here. This is pretty much all down to the fact that Jeremy Parish and Christian Nutt are the two hosts who talk the most about the series and they're really good at articulating their points cleanly and quickly. The reason their discussion didn't become a stupid Eva argument was because, amazingly, Jeremey and Christian had already has there argument about the show over a decade before when it first aired. Their ability to reconcile their differences and admit that they were both being jerks online gave me faith in the ability of people to rationally discuss things online. Good stuff.
