About this month’s talks:
That Pie Girl Amy Watson-Bish
Ever start a harmless hobby and suddenly you’re elbows-deep in flour, winning state fairs, and collaborating with breweries? “That Pie Girl” Amy Bish has. And she’s ready to explain herself.
That Time I Did A Presentation on Isekai with Andrew Simpson
Isekai is a particularly saturated anime/manga genre these days. How did it start? What constitutes an isekai? In an endless wave of trash titles, how do certain isekai stories manage to stand out?
The true story of “Squanto” and the first Thanksgiving with Mike Riley
“The Pilgrims arrived in New England, and after a harsh winter were saved from starvation by Squanto, the friendly, english-speaking Indian”.
