Episode 2: PERSONA 2: INNOCENT SIN (1999)

Episode 5: PERSONA 5 (2016) | PERSONA 5 ROYAL (2020)

I am thou.....thou art I......and we've got a new episode for thou! Inching closer to the present, the boys take a critical deep dive into the best-selling entry to date (and the entry point for millions worldwide) PERSONA 5! And you thought that other Joker was a "wild card."  Come along on a magical journey as we talk about a different kind of Metaverse, living alternate lifestyles, what we'd put in our own Velvet Room, and more references to Carl Jung than you can shake a third eye at!

Episode 4: PERSONA 4 (2008)

Thou art I....I am thou....and you're about to get the newest episode! Hollow and The Mayor are BACK, baby, setting a new bar of greatness, much like this episode's game managed to do for the series! It's also where we stole our podcast music from. PERSONA 4, if you weren't paying attention. In which our intrepid hosts creep closer to the present and discuss a whole host of things. Rainy Day Beef Bowls! The Dungeon Crawl / Social Sim balance! Johnny Young Bosch doing VO work everywhere! And how Teddy is useful but also annoying as shit and that's sorta what makes him so cute - just like Hollow and I. Howard - @vander_iam Hollow - @mediummhollow Feedback - PersonallyPod@gmail.com

Episode 3: PERSONA 3 (2006)

I am Thou....Thou art I.....and Hollow and the Mayor are back! In which our intrepid hosts creep closer to the modern era and take a look at Atlus Games' 2006 PS2 offering PERSONA 3 which, for those keeping track, is actually the fourth one. More chills! More thrills! More social life simulation! And substantially more teenagers pointing weapons at their own heads! Much like how PERSONA 3 marked a shift between what was and what would become, this episode does the same in the context of our beloved podcast, maybe.

Episode 2: PERSONA 2: INNOCENT SIN (1999)

I am Thou....Thou art I....and we're back after a bit of a break! Turns out these games are pretty long. In which Hollow and The Mayor continue their "save game" and forge ahead, diving deep in the second instalment of Atlus Games' PERSONA series, PERSONA 2: INNOCENT SIN, a game with a contradictory title that's actually one of TWO games called PERSONA 2 - tune in, we'll make it make sense. Come along on a magic journey as we talk about time-displaced reichs, "Japaneseness," and how cool it would be if all your high school buddies had psychic powers.

Episode 1: REVELATIONS: PERSONA (1996)

In which Hollow and The Mayor kick things off with a close and persona-l look at where it all began, Atlas Games' REVELATIONS: PERSONA. From such humble Japanese-exclusive beginnings, a global transmedia empire was born. Come along for the ride as we talk about franchise 'essence' and the importance of getting it right out of the gate, and why the age of remasters isn't such a nuisance after all.
