SHOUT! For Libraries episodes

September 25 S11E01 - A Trip to Japan's Archives
This month, join us for a conversation between Shout correspondent Andy Zhang about his colleague Zane Kordich’s trip to Japan’s archives. Zane talks about the journey he took to track down the unknown origin of a specific album cover art, unable to be found online, which eventually led him to visiting the archives. Returning Shout listeners may recognize this voice from season 10, since we interviewed Zane about Animethon and AMVs just this past April.
