Penlight Chronicles is wrapping up the year with an end-of-year STARTO roundup, kinda like STARTO “Yearbook Superlatives” style. Hoshi, Maiko, and Zoe look back on this year’s releases with a handful of awards (from instant earworms to standout performances), and plenty of fandom-related screeching along the way. Drop your own nominations, tell us your favourite PenKuro episode moment, and be sure to like, comment, and follow on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube (@PenlightChronicles), and tag us on Twitter/X @Pen_Kuro.

Happy New Year, and come start the next one with us—same fandom energy, new year, more episodes.
