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 🤍

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!
