Rider Love - A Kamen Rider Podcast

It’s our favorite time of the year here at Rider Love, next series rumor time! Dan & Faiz have probably our biggest Spoiler Section yet, as we have all the “Build” rumors to speculate about, in addition to MORE Ex-Aid scans and summer movie info. Ex-Aid 33 & 34 are full of tears and betrayal, but there’s a hint of a beautiful yellow boy at the end! To round things off, we’ll discuss our listeners’ favorite Showa Riders. All that and a WHOLE lot of giggling, on this week’s episode! 10:02 – Birthdays 13:25 – News 16:25 – Spoilery News 43:20 – Ex-Aid 33 1:22:42 - Ex-Aid 34 1:47:10 – Listener Feedback   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmail.com   Theme song provided by Eric Skiff through Creative Commons License.

Rider Love welcomes its first international guest! Dan is joined by Alan (no, not the takoyaki prince, but rather Kamen Rider (G)Lover). It’s a light news week this week, mainly toys, which means we’ll get sidetracked a bit by Doctor Who and other geekery. But we’re very excited to dive into the latest two episodes of Ex-Aid (31 & 32) in which we learn the means by which our buddy “Nuevo Kuroto” has returned to us. We also welcome the return of another member of the Dan family and get lots of crackly Mountain Dew energy goodness! Rounding things out, we discuss your thoughts on foreign actors in Kamen Rider. Shh!   18:54 – Birthdays 23:25 – News 37:11 – Spoilery News 39:04 – Ex-Aid 31 1:16:09 - Ex-Aid 32 1:54:44 – Listener Feedback   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmail.com   Theme song provided by Eric Skiff through Creative Commons License.

Dan & Faiz brave thunder and an oncoming tornado (okay that might be overdramatizing it a BIT) to bring you another podcast! This week we witness the “Final Battle” between Emu and M in Ex-Aid 30, as well as welcoming back our favorite tight-pantsed psychopath! In Ghost 43 & 44, as we near the end, Onari begins to question his usefulness to the team, which makes for some VERY over-the-top and entertaining moments. Finally, in Feedback, we’ll discover what historical figures you would choose for your own personal Eyecon collection. 0:00 – Opening 9:19 – Birthdays 13:36 – News 18:02 – Spoilery News 22:57 – Ex-Aid 30 1:00:21 – Ghost 43 1:28:22 – Ghost 44 1:51:27 – Listener Feedback   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmail.com   Theme song provided by Eric Skiff through Creative Commons License.

Dan & Faiz celebrate 1 YEAR of podcasting the only way we know how… drooling over shirtless men and thinking about how hungry we are! We try to work out the logistics of the recent “M” revelation in Ex-Aid 29, and watch as our friends in Ghost 41 & 42 have a Gramps-shaped revelation of their own. Wrapping things up, it’s all about music in Listener Feedback. Thank you, Rider Lovers, for an awesome first year, and here’s to many more years of silliness!

You know the drill by now. When Faiz and I haven’t talked for a while, things can get a little crazy. This week, it’s all about Taiga’s palm on Emu’s firm tush! But no, there’s lots of other stuff to talk about. There’s the fall of Nyaa, the first hints of the summer Ex-Aid movie, and some sparkling, delicious new Mountain Dew flavored scans! In Ep Discussion, it’s all about Ghost this week (39 & 40), and we have some opinions on Dark Necrom P. Plus there’s some awkward body-swapping and movie tie-ins. Feedback is quite girthy because everyone loves talking about hopes and possibilities for the next series. Gashit! 0:00 – Opening 13:47 – Birthdays 19:58 – News 35:15 – Spoilery News 40:01 – Ghost 39 1:23:29 – Ghost 40 1:39:21 – Listener Feedback   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmail.com   Theme song provided by Eric Skiff through Creative Commons License.

Dan is joined by Amber2 (DestinyAmber) to discuss her recent convention fun and lots of other Kamen Rider happenings. There’s actor news, new toy announcements, and as usual, another round of Ex-Aid scans to drool over. In episode discussion, Nico finally gets her moment to shine (Ex-Aid 27), and Poppy has a pretty rough day (Ex-Aid 28). Plus there’s a pretty intriguing cliffhanger which we can’t WAIT to see resolved. Then to round things out, we’ll go through your cosplay aspirations and just have a general good old time! 0:00 – Opening 12:46 – Birthdays 20:22 – News 31:57 – Spoilery News 40:22 – Ex-Aid 27 1:13:00 – Ex-Aid 28 1:43:53 – Listener Feedback   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmail.com   Theme song provided by Eric Skiff through Creative Commons License.

Don’t worry! Dan & Faiz are back to talk Kamen Rider. No more Masked Rider… at least for a year. It’s time for the Spring KR/Sentai crossover with Ex-Aid 24. The cross-over wasn’t much, but it also brings an end to the first half of Ex-Aid, and we love every minute of it (especially Ren!). In Ghost 38, we celebrate Takeru’s many dads and the resurgence of the best Ghost ship. There’s an April Fools roundup in news, along with even more Ex-Aid scans. And finally, we have a mammoth feedback section talking all about YOUR fantasy Kamen Sentai GoRider teams.

It’s just a normal week here at Rider Love, with Dan & Fact doing what they always do, discussing the 90’s Fox Kids series, Saban’s Masked Rider! It’s the American adaptation of some Japanese show called… Kamen Rider? Anyway, it’s a lot of fun. There are furry duck creatures, sultry automobiles, polite bugs, and all the juice boxes you can eat. 0:00 – Opening 6:28 – News 12:41 – Saban’s Masked Rider Episode 1 55:14 – Saban’s Masked Rider Episode 2   Website: www.riderlovepodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: riderlovepodcast@gmail.com   Theme song provided by Eric Skiff through Creative Commons License.

Dan & Faiz bid farewell to Dan “The Man” Kuroto in Ex-Aid 23, and while we disagree about a few things in the episode, we can all agree Big Boy is Beautiful™. Speaking of Beautiful (Monsta X *cough cough*) it’s idol week here on Rider Love, and that means Akari’s joining a Jpop group in Ghost 36 & 37! We also get your feedback on Ex-Aid, taste some possible yummy sushi-man rider, and much more! 0:00 – Opening 6:56 - Birthdays 12:05 - News 18:49 – Spoilery News 25:09 – Ex-Aid 23 1:04:44 - Ghost 36 1:31:37 - Ghost 37 1:48:02 – Listener Feedback   Website: www.riderlovepodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: riderlovepodcast@gmail.com   Theme song provided by Eric Skiff through Creative Commons License.
