Spirited Away

Consumption, Compassion and Liminal Spaces

Welcome to our 14th and probably (hopefully) biggest podcast on the films by Studio Ghibli. This time around we've spent over 5 hours in the recording booth (with a few breaks in between) to bring you analysis and interpretations of Spirited Away. With me on this quest: PlatonSkull, Xiff, TheThunderer, Hipster_Cthulhu and Roggol.
