Folks:
It has been quite a while since we have last sat down and had a chat. Needless to say that Jesse, Ten-chan, and I are still alive and kicking. We have weathered some serious technical and life difficulties as of late, including the loss of our primary audio transmission server and I lost my job for a while there. both of these prevented the show from coming back in a timely fashion and I do apologize for the sudden and unannounced hiatus of the show. Before I get to what is going on, let me tell you what has happened so far:
Jesse Barredo, one of the founding hosts of the show, has decided to move on. He will no longer be co-hosting the show with me. I am very sad about this, because to be quite honest, the show was created to give us a regular venue to air our opinions on the state of anime. With all the disruptions in our broadcast schedule and his primary occupation getting busy and life just moving him in a different direction, he no longer has the time or desire to keep up with the show.
I have not yet spoken with Ten-chan, so I do not know what she will want to do at this point.
I, on the other hand, am not yet willing to let the show go down without a fight. I am in discussion with potential replacements to carry the Unwound banner on to finish out the third season schedule. Also, it is possible I may be moving behind-the-scenes and concentrate 100% to producing the show and getting it back on its feet. This will most likely result in the change of the format of the show and inclusion of new segments as replacement hosts will tend to want to do different things, to give the Unwound show a new facelift (or maybe it should be earlift?). We will keep the core of the show anime-centric, as always.
I hope you will continue to stay with us and listen in. And I will update this site with more information as it becomes available.
Thanks for your continued support,
Michael D. Garcia
Executive Producer, The Unwound Show
