Persona's Core Theme: Claiming the Self

Thank you to Theater of the Mindset for sponsoring this episode!

Hey is this thing on? Had an idea for a Persona game but instead of "The Midnight Channel" there's "The 7:18 Bowl of Chili." What do we think, gang?

Discussed: Post-GOTY, what we had for dinner, Antiques Roadshow, GOTY 2016, the next season premiere, The Jersey Devil, Brendon Vaguely, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, the appeal of the Warriors spin-offs, Zelda’s past and future, the Zelda movie, Persona 4 Golden, the upcoming Persona 4 remake, the unique strengths of Persona 4

(Spoilers for our 2026 Season Premiere:) Google Form for your input. Details mentioned in the episode!
