Thanks for the podcast, liked the breadth of the discussion. I actually didn't mind the length, despite it being one of your longer ones, and was actually kind of sad when it ended.

The mainland cons sound like a lot of fun. Wish it weren't so expensive to attend one.

I think you're right about that, Viga: we get the same people running panels because they're good panelists, which means that a) their panels are likely to be accepted, and b) they often do multiple panels at a single con. It makes for a better lineup of panels, though it also cuts down on diversity.

Thanks so much for the compliments on the podcast, Viga and Alex!

Thanks for the shoutout. I think more people need to do panels, but then we always hear more complaints about how these new panels are not well-researched or just poorly presented.

I think you guys might have produced the best Otakon podcast report so far, though. Solid balance of the positives and negatives with a helping of general chitchat.

This is Viga! Thanks for the small plug when you talked about my panels.

Just to comment on the one person, many panels situation. I think the reason why is because Geeknights, AWO and others have did ver good panels in the past that proved itself.

That's probably only part of the reason. Submitting it the right way to a make or break to be an Otakon panelist.

Then there the people that simply submit a bunch they did at prior conventions successfully. Actually I did that and was a first time panelist for Otakon. 4 panels is harsh.

Glad to meet all of you and I love this show. Listened to some recently. Awesome!
