Trash Taste Podcast

Three anime YouTubers walk into a recording studio in Tokyo and somehow created one of the most entertaining podcasts on the internet. Joey (The Anime Man), Garnt (Gigguk), and Connor (CDawgVA) originally bonded over their shared love of Japanese culture, but Trash Taste has grown into something much bigger than anime talk. On any given week, they might spend two hours debating the best convenience store food in Japan, sharing horror stories about fan meetups, or arguing passionately about whether bread crusts are worth eating. The chemistry between these three is genuinely fun to listen to. They interrupt each other constantly, call out bad takes without mercy, and somehow manage to turn the most mundane topics into heated debates. Joey brings the deep anime knowledge, Garnt offers surprisingly thoughtful cultural commentary, and Connor is basically the chaotic wildcard who will disagree with anything just to keep things spicy. With nearly 300 episodes and a 4.9-star rating from over 3,000 reviews, the show has built a massive following that extends way beyond the anime community. Episodes run about 90 minutes to two hours, and they frequently bring on guests from the YouTube and streaming world. If you want a podcast that feels like eavesdropping on three friends who happen to live in Japan and have strong opinions about literally everything, this is it.
