CosPod: The Cosplay Podcast

Amber and Val talk about the freezing weather that halted all cosplay progress. But in this, we found a great topic to discuss: how and why you should upgrade your tools!

Amber and Val catch up on cosplay happenings and review a book that is all about garment fitting to help you in your costuming escapades!

We talk a lot about cosplay contests on the podcast. But this episode we thought it would be good to tackle the discussion of what to do if you didn't win a prize? How do you handle a loss? Amber and Val share their suggestions to help out and motivate you with your next cosplay.

Welcome back podders! It's the start of Season 10, and we've got a whole bunch of CosPod news for you. In fact, so much it's an entire episode. A lot has happened with the show in the past 2 months and we want to keep you all updated.

For those who listen/watch on podcasting apps, you're missing our on our Afterssions! These YouTube exclusives are more mayhem and nerdy randomness, but somehow we always tie it back to cosplay. Many of our jokes and memes are born from Aftersessions. Here's a sample!

Inspired by our makeup book review, this CosPod Extras is dedicated to Makeup Brushes! One thing that we found missing from a number of makeup tutorials is information about the brushes. And jumping into makeup without knowing the brushes is overwhelming. Which ones do you get? What's the difference between Foundation Brush Y and Foundation Brush Q? What are the essential brushes to start a brush kit? Why are there 50 eyebrow brushes and what do they do? This Extras gives an overview on the 12 basic brushes. Breaking down what they look like, their purpose, and which ones should be in your makeup toolkit.

We might be on our seasonal break, but that doesn't stop the rush of cosplay. Introducing CosPod Extras! A Mini Episode of cosplay content in a bite-sized serving so you can continue to enjoy our crafty shenanigans between seasons. Our First Mini Episode we interview cosplayer Kia Sangria! A New York-based costumer and designer who has a really cool partnership with Fabric Wholesale Direct writing cosplay blogs.

It's our last episode of the season - Halloween Party time! We spend this session talking just a smidge about cosplay and mostly playing games wiht our viewers. Thank you to everyone for joining us, for your years of support, and we'll see you in Season 10! Note: This is our annual "After Dark" episode so expect content to be more on the PG-13 side, but nothing vulgar. This is a much longer episode than usual. Due to this, we had to compress the video to fit feed specifications.

It took 9 years, but Amber finally has her magnet episode! Learn about the wonders of magnets in cosplay and the multiple ways to use them!

After catching up on some cosplay updates, we review a more recent cosplay book from Cowbutt Crunchies Cosplay: The Art of Extreme Wig Styling.
