I have a possible topic. As someone that gave up on persona 2 way back on psx, but rebought it on psp, can the crew enlighten someone like me on how best to approach demon conversations? I tend to find then tedious and obscure, but really want to play through both p2 games someday.
Any tips or recommendations on how to consider approaching that system as the game itself is not too helpful nor do I wish to pour through bloated faqs for guidance. A round table discussion on how they work and to remove my total disconnect from them would help tremendously thx!
Pretty solid podcast but you guys were totally fan girling sony in the last episode haha
One last bump!
We're interviewing Sam Riegel tonight! So get in those questions you always wished you could ask Teddie!
Will iwakura be joining us, or will it just be me, you and Ron?
He said there's a tropical storm headed his way, so not holding him to it.

Well folks, we were once again able to sit down and have a chat behind one of the voices of the Persona 4 cast. This time, Sam Riegel, who voiced Teddie in Persona 4: The Golden, Persona 4: Arena, and Persona 4: The Animation came on the show. Sam shed some light on his acting career, touched on what it was like working on the Persona projects, and gave some Beary good advice on for those looking to make it in the voice acting industry. This was a very bearable episode to record, nothing grizzly about it!
Apologies in advance that we did not get to everyones questions, we were on a bit of a time constraint. This episode is a lot more concise than previous ones and Sam really elaborate on the questions we did ask, so a lot of the reader questions were answered in passing anyways.
Many thanks again to Mr. Riegel for joining us!
Some tips for Persona fans who are fighting game newbies would be appreciated.
I don't think I'll ever clear Score Attack and Challenge modes :/
The previous episode with Dacidbro kinda of answered this already, but yeah we'll ask all the same.
I am all aboard this train. Mainlining Eps 1-10 tomorrow.
That Levito fellow. Sure is swell, no?
Serious question : Is it a podcast that covers everything Persona related or is it the kind of podcast made by fans that started with 3 and only discuss the last two games while shitting on the rest?
If it's the latter then I'll give it a listen.

LOL. I've only listened to the first episode and the Teddy Interview, but most of the panel are heavy P3/4 adopters. Only one of the crew(forget who) is able to really discuss P1/2 in any real capacity, and does so for a section in Ep. 1. Glowingly though...(except P1 which gets some hate)
But it's clear P3/4 are what these guys are most passionate about and focus most heavily on. I've enjoyed the two episodes I've tried so far, and will catch up with the rest.
I would like to hear more about P1/2 though as P3/4 are discussed to death as is, plus more exposure for the older games is always good. Particularly P2 I suppose.
I've listened to a few Persona podcasts and the guys were either ignoring the series roots or just downright bashing Persona 1/2 and deeming them awful because they're not like 3 and 4.
IMO a Persona podcast that doesn't cover the entire series is ridiculous, availability or not. I'll give it a try though.
We don't bash P1/2 or ignore them, far from it, the mind games episode spoke on SMT at large well beyond Persona, same with the New Days episode. Sure there's a greater affinity for P3/4 cause that's what a lot of us started with.
I've been trying to organize an episode specifically about fans of P3/4 revisiting P2 specifically for some time now.
I wasn't refering to this podcast though, just the others that exist out there. Can't judge a podcast without listening to it first. Don't worry man, I'm sure you're doing your best to give the other games in the series some exposure and I appreciate it.
Try listening to the Mind Games episode.
We don't have anything against the older games. Everybody likes and respects the series in it's entirety, but everyone has their favorites and preferences, which is why we try to rotate people and in general cover broad topics that encompass the series or SMT or even Atlus as a whole; that's our effort to be inclusive.
That said, we have to find people who work on a podcast or want to be on one at all and that's combined with the fact the earlier games are sort of at a disadvantage with mind share. The four people most consistently on the show (Levito, Armada, myself, and CJ Iwakura) have pretty varied taste with regards to the series throughout. We can't help the newer games are more popular, better selling, better reviewed, etc etc. We're trying to interview voice actors regularly. is it our failt Persona 1 & 2 basically have none? Things like that are out of our hands. but we make an honest effort to do a show for everybody and pay respect where and when it's due.
Please give us a fair shake.
But what do popularity and sales have to do with anything? I'll admit that 3 and 4 are a lot more mainstream than the rest, but that doesn't make them unworthy of discussion among fans.
And Persona 2 has voice actors and hell, Yukiko's VA has done work in the original version of Eternal Punishment.
