Episode 237: Throw It In The TrashCon
We cover the hows, whys, and whats that are TrashCons. With conventions steadily making their return, unfortunately many scam events are also making themselves known. We provide helpful tips on how to avoid TrashCons that will be useful for those new to the scene and returning convention-goers.
Happy July to you all! We’re half way through the year and our latest episode is now available on your favorite podcasting platforms, or through our website.
Episode 235 focuses on ConCrunch.
What it is. What it can do to your health. And what cosplayers and the convention-going public should do to stop promoting the behavior.
As this episode focuses more on stress and mental & physical health, we’d like to remind everyone that the hosts of CosPod are not medical experts. We did our best to research the topic in full from various, authentic medical resources before recording this episode. If you ever have any questions about your health or the effects of crunch, please speak to your doctor.

We still live every other Friday at 7pm Central! Our next episode recording is set for tomorrow. Join us on our YouTube channel for the next session.
Good day podders and new listeners/viewers. We wanted to share a few words with you all about how the rest of 2021 will pan out for conventions and what-not.
The big update for Season 10 is that we now have audio-only versions going out to the internet. You can find us on pretty much every podcasting platform available. Start off at our Linktree and go from there! If we’re not on a platform that you use, let us know. We release both a video and audio version of the podcast, so you have multiple ways to watch and listen.
With the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, CosPod has decided to not attend any in-person events for the year. Please continue to stay safe for yourself, your loved ones, and for the community.
Though we are not attending in-person, CosPod is available for online conventions! If you have a local con maintaining an online event this year, we would love to be involved. Please contact us with more details, or reach out to the convention so they can get in touch with us. Between the two hosts, we have more than 20+ years of experience in cosplaying, crafting, & teaching; as well as 10+ years of podcasting.
Thanks again to everyone for all of your support over the last 10 seasons. We’ve got plenty more content on the way!
Don’t forget that with every episode we have a special Aftersession. It’s the show after the show where we talk about anything nerd/geek related, and somehow manage to tie it back into cosplay.
You can find all of our Aftersessions on YouTube. Episode 233 is live now!
Be sure to check it out on any of your favorite video or audio podcasting platforms, or right here on our website. Val checks out another cosplay book, this one specifically focusing on all aspects of cosplay for beginners.
Our latest episode and Aftersession are now up and running! You can check out Cosplay Personalities here on our website or any of your favorite podcasting apps, including audio-only versions.
And don’t forget to check our YouTube exclusive Aftersessions. This time we talk about Doritos, the Cadbury Bunny pet contest, Dot Hack, cosplaying villains, and more.
First episode of the year will be dropping tomorrow on all of our feeds and whichever podcasting service you use. Check out our Linktr.ee to find what you need.
Or watch the premier on YouTube at 10am Central Saturday January 16th.
Episode 223 is packed with CosPod goodness: show news, host updates, and the usual cosplay madness.
Our last one for the holidays before Season 10 begins.
We can’t believe we’ve been doing this for 10 years either. Wow!
Our latest Extra we wanted to share with the general audience our Aftersessions! These extra segments take place right after the main show and are a bit more carefree. But somehow we always manage to return it back to cosplay, regardless of what we’re talking about. Many of our jokes and memes develop in the Aftersession. These are YouTube only exclusives, which is why you don’t see or hear them in our main feed.
Give it a watch/listen and join us on YouTube for more.
