Episode 4: Interview With Sabrina Carlotti (BriiMassacre)

Ep 12: A Dutch Fairytale

In this special episode, we speak about Elfia Haarzuilens, the fairytale festival that is held annually at Haarzuilens castle. Unlike regular cons, this festival is held in open air, and it's more about medieval era, fairytales, and craftsmanship rather than modern superhero comics, and art. You see massive number of extremely creative original characters, walk around and enjoy all the different music, shows, and food. It's impossible to get bored there.

To give you a better picture, we are hosting three Dutch cosplayers in this episode. With us we have

• Carola Wijsman (DamaniaCarola): Dutch cosplayer, and so far has contributed the largest amount of cosplay photos, series, and characters to CosplayWon.
• Evan Weber (Foxybadger): Talented Dutch cosplayer and costume maker.
• Judith Lenders (KirasCostumes): Passionate and talented in creating her own original characters.

Listen to why this may be the best festial in the Netherlands. Also, what's up with all the wasps?

NOTE: This episode was recorded right after Elfia Haarzuilens 2018 back in early May. But due to sudden illness, and then the trip to MCM London, and the workload of photo editing that goes with it, edit and release of this episode has been delayed.  Also, we apologize for some of the low quality audio in this episode. 

We pormise you yet a fun 1:40 hours of cosplay chat.

Episode 10: A Series of Unfortunate Events

In this special episode, we host three guests from different countries for the first time. Our guests in this episode are:

• Judith Lenders a.k.a Kira's Costumes (Netherlands): Costumer and cosplayer. Often cosplaying her own original characters.
• Joe Martin a.k.a SupremeOutcastCos (England): Costumer and cosplayer. His birthday is on Halloween, and this year he celebrated it in Rome.
• Kaya a.k.a Ka.Vivi.La (Germany): Costumer, cosplayer, and makeup artist. Mostly popular for her horror cosplays and makeups. 

This episode was supposed to be a Halloween Special episode for early November, hosting guests from different countries in Europe. Howver due to A Series of Unfortunate Events, it kept getting delayed until last Christmas. So it has been in planning for well over 2 months, and it had to change and be more broad. 

In this episode you get to hear from different cosplayers about how Halloween and Christmas is celebrated at their home town, and Rome as well, since we have Joe. It's also officially the most hilarious show yet. Listen and you'll know why!
