Rider Love - A Kamen Rider Podcast

Ten years ago this week, the Rider Love Podcast was born. To celebrate, we're reuniting with some of our favorite assholes and beginning our short-lived coverage of Kamen Rider Outsiders ! We also mourn the passing of toku legend Kenji Ohba , speculate about the upcoming series, Kakusei Hunter Omegahorn , and ramble about our current obsession… NHL Stanley Cup playoff hockey.   0:57 - Intro 29:25...

We also check out a handful of the recent Kamen Rider news items we've missed while we've been out of the loop.   1:02...

Let's get this straight… We're not back. We just hadn't chatted in nearly a year, and wanted to ramble about life and what we've been up to. Also, we haven't missed a new Rider pre-season in ten years, and we're KINDA interested in casually checking it out, so we wanted to have a chat about Kamen Rider Zeztz ahead of its premiere this weekend. This is NOT a return to regular episodes, but you may...
