About Randime

Randime was built in Austin, TX by software engineer Colin Hemphill.

Colin hosts a show called The AniMonday Podcast with his wife Kayla. On each episode, they randomly select an anime that they’ll have to watch and then discuss on the next episode. They used to accomplish the randomization using the "Random" button on the Crunchyroll homepage, but after a UI overhaul the button was removed.
