Amber and Val take a look at the World Cosplay Summit competition this year, and Amber covers innovation in cosplay.

Can you be "green" with cosplay? Absolutely! In this episode, Val will go over how you can Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle to make your costumes more eco-friendly!

We invite James/BluLightning Cosplay from the podcast Cosplay Bytes to join us for a roundtable discussion about Accuracy vs. Originality: Part 2! We originally had this topic in one of our earlier episodes. Now that it's been almost 8 years of CosPod, this felt like the best time to go back and re-view it!

Well, this topic dropped right int our lap. Amber and Val talk about "sandbagging" in cosplay. What is it? Why is it? And what's the big deal?

Val provides a quick review of ArlingCon, while she and Amber tackle the news of a new foam line at Joann Fabric and Craft from Cosplay by Yaya Han.

Yep. Your eyes are not deceiving you. This is the name of the episode. So what do we cover? Our guesting at C-Con and an interesting topic: What is your ideal convention?

Amber revels in the Cosplay by McCall's line of patterns that are finally in craft stores, and gives a review!
