This episode is a little different — and that’s okay 💭 We’re sitting down for a relaxed chat to reflect on the year that was: the cosplay highs, the lows, the unexpected lessons, and the things that didn’t quite go to plan. No hot takes. No big debates. Just an honest conversation about where we’ve been, how this year actually felt, and what we’re thinking about heading into next year. If you’re also in that end-of-year headspace of reflecting, reassessing, or just feeling a bit tired — this one’s for you 🤍

Joining us from Melbourne, this week's special guest is Ash! I met Ash at Dreamhack, Melbourne this time last year, and i'm super excited to be able to catch up with them in a couple of weeks time!
Ash is one of the most bubbly, fun people i've ever met, and they've been a real joy to hang out with in the cosplay community. We sit down to chat this week about where their sense of joy comes from, and how it has helped open up opportunities for them in the industry.

JustBeCos podcast, new season! Maia is off to Japan! It means that Jeremy is going to try change up the format of the podcast a little bit. Fewer direct topics around cosplay, but more stories, life lessons and discoveries will be told - all learnt from our own cosplay journeys!
Who is "our"? Special guests may start to feature more regularly! I'll be on the lookout for people I vibe with (so the conversation stays fun!) - but if you've always been keen to jump on an episode of the podcast, keep your eyes peeled!

We started this podcast over a year ago when we became Team Australia for the World Cosplay Summit! Now that we've actually attended the event, was it everything we thought it would be? Did it live up to the hype or was it not that big a deal? Grab the popcorn and sit tight, it's going to be a big couple of episodes!

Let's face facts, the school system is FAR from perfect. While it does teach us many valuable things as kids, there's many things it DOESN'T teach us. So what kind of things do we have to figure out ourselves, in a way in which COSPLAY has really helped us out a lot?
