- Not to be confused with Pusher Media Club
Media Club Plus is an ongoing podcast about "diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us."
Produced by Keith J. Carberry, presented by Friends at the Table, and made possible by Patreon supporters, Media Club Plus is hosted by Keith, Jack, Sylvi, and Dre, with other Friends at the Table cast members occasionally appearing as guests.
History[edit | edit source]
Media Club Plus was originally conceptualized as a limited-run series in which several members of the Friends at the Table cast would make Jack watch Hunter x Hunter for the first time. It was part of a Patreon push in the summer of 2023 that quickly met its goal.
When the show officially began in September 2023, it was released as an ongoing podcast with its own feed.
Format[edit | edit source]
Episodes are to release every other Tuesday, beginning September 5, 2023. Each (probably lengthy) season will focus on a different media property.
The first season's focus is, as promised, the entirety of the 2011 Hunter x Hunter anime. Bonus episodes, released on the Friends at the Table Patreon feed, have covered selections from other works that can be put in conversation with Hunter x Hunter.
