A writer, as well as the host of After School Writers (a LoveLive writing podcast that I'm also in), DiasPenguin, joins us as a guest for this episode! We yap about Japan and gacha, and dabbled a bit in our writing and the future of ASW podcast. We had a lot to talk about, and it was kinda all over the place. I'm getting judged for my gacha spendings too.
