In our last episode, Phil Odango told us his “origin story,” the path he took to become a celebrated professional cosplayer.

Since he has such a fascinating profession, we decided to invite him back and learn more. In this episode, he talks about life as a cosplayer, some of the criticism he’s faced, and what keeps him moving forward in this unique career.

Phil’s interview has some frank discussion about race, gender, and body image, so keep that in mind if you have kids listening.
