Cracked Brain Podcast

Every now and then I think it’s fun to put up a bonus episode. And this time we’re going to do a full episode from our Patreon exclusive podcast “Do You Even Nerd Brah?” (DYENB). Stephan and Atom Bomb Body sit down to catch up on what has happened over the last month, share a few cosplay stories, find out what it’s like to model at Blizzard Entertainment, and of course another shart story. If you want to hear more like this, join the Cracked Brain Patreon Page.

Well this particular episode will be sure to stick with quite a few people. The members of the cosplay group “Salt Lake Super Friends”, which includes Stephan, are the people on this particular episode. We thought it was quite fitting that we get together before attending Snake River Fandom Con in Pocatello, ID. This group is comprised of cosplayers that most local to the Salt Lake area would quickly recognize. People such as, Rachel Blatchford, Kelly Poynter, Izzi Keener, Heather Huddleston, Travis Hysell, and Andrew Peters. I’ve discovered that if you put this many eccentric cosplayers together, you get podcasting gold.

I am so happy that this episode was finally done. Tilley has been an awesome person to get to know over the last few years. A random chance run-in

Salt Lake FanX is behind us, so we can take a rest right? Well some of us can anyway. But let’s take a moment to look back over the weekend to remember some of the things we enjoyed. It was a bummer not seeing nearly as many people in attendance, but sometimes you need to make the best of a negative situation.

RachieMac joins me again to recount the weekend experiences. Panels, walking around, cosplay, etc. It was a semi-decent weekend.

It's about time we had another online episode. And I'm proud to say that we finally have a guest on the Podcast that we've wanted to for quite some time. After learning so much from her and enjoying being a member of her Twitch audience, Canary Cry Cosplay is finally on the podcast.

She is one of the most dedicated and hard working cosplayers that we've seen.

We finally got around to getting Mina her own solo episode. And I am ecstatic that we did! Mina has been a fantastic cosplayer to get to know over the last year. The quality of her hand crafted costumes improves with each new venture. And on top of that, Mina NEVER back down from a new challenge. You will hear the passion behind her experiences in the local events. And I truly it hope that it inspires you all as well.

I'm sorry about missing the episode last week, but I can't leave y'all hangin for 2 weeks in a row. This week's guest is Claire's Closet Cosplay! Claire has been in the Utah local cosplay community for some time now, but has recently moved back to Texas to further increase her cosplaying skills and attain other goals. As you will hear, Claire has a quick wit and strong personality to accompany the creativity that she employs.

As an immense fan of the game "World of Warcraft", Claire uses her knowledge of the game and that passion to enhance the costumes that she creates from the game. And as you will hear at the end of the episode, Claire uses her lovely voice to bring life to the characters he loves so much.

We're going a step further in this episode. Today's guest, Pannon, is recognized worldwide as an energetic, humorous, and tremendously talented cosplayer. Pannon has competed in numerous cosplay competitions at events across the country. And as a long standing Master's Class competitor, she has been able to push herself and the creativity of her work to amazing lengths. And as the other half of the duo, Green Jello Cosplay, Pannon has been able to create a juggernaut-like team that strikes awe when they compete.

Many will also recognize Pannon and her cosplay partner Garnet Runestar, as the US representatives for WCS 2014. WCS, World Cosplay Summit, is basically the cosplay Olympics; with cosplayers officially selected to represent their home countries in a competition of showmanship, creativity, and skill. In this episode, you will hear about Pannon's experience qualifying, being selected, and then representing Team USA.
