Attention Elsewhere

No medium is off limits. Everything is worth our attention. Alasdair & Eli draw from their own interests, obsessions, and research as they spotlight and discuss overlooked, underappreciated, and/or up-and-coming entertainment media, including books, games, films, manga, manhua, and everything in between. ~Follow us on Bsky or Instagram (links in our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AttentionElsewhere) to stay up to date, and, if you're feeling really generous, send us a couple dollars on Ko-fi (https://ko-fi.com/attentionelsewhere).
