One of the most sought-after names in Robotech RPG circles, Dave Deitrich was the main driving force behind the Third Invid War Robotech RPG fan-supplement. Nowadays it is not uncommon to see posts on the Palladium Robotech RPG forum or other Robotech boards asking whatever became of him and whether he will ever do more work with the Third Invid War supplement. In the first hour of this five-hour talkcast, we interview him and get his take on the past of Robotech fandom. After that, Tommy Yune shows up, and we all have another hour and a half of conversation. Then he has to go, but old-school Robotech fans John Hokansen (from the old mailing list) and Ken Olson (from Robotech Research) join us for some more conversation. This is one of the best shows yet, and more are in the offing! (NOTE: There are scattered four-letter words in the later portions of this show.) Thanks to Robotech fan Wayne Joyce for saving this show!

This episode featured special guest Tommy Yune, Creative Director of Harmony Gold, co-writer/co-director of the new Robotech feature The Shadow Chronicles, currently scheduled for release on February 6th, 2007. This three-hour episode starts as an interview show, with many interesting questions asked, then in the third hour turns into more of a fan roundtable in which some matters of Robotech and Shadow Chronicles continuity are discussed and questions answered. There has not been an interview or fan chat as long or thorough as this one outside of a comic convention!

I was joined for this show by Darkwater, blogger for The Unofficial Robotech Reporter, and Jason "Smitty" Smith, a long-time Robotech fan from the old Robotech Mailing List days. I interviewed Darkwater at length about his fan experiences and about the Shadow Chronicles News site he administered prior to Reporter. I also talked to Jason Smith about the good old days of the Robotech Mailing List. After that, we were joined by Brooklyn Red Leg, CavScout, Justy Ueki Tylor (for a while), and Fernando Gonzalez (chat only) for a roundtable discussion that covered such topics as the fate of the Zentraedi species, the future of the Robotech franchise, and the Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles comic books.

WARNING: This episode contains many, many four-letter words. This impromptu fan chat was joined by Michael "Mad Mike" Choi, a long-time flame warrior from the good old days of the Robotech mailing list. "Mad Mike" is one of those people who uses four-letter words as punctuation in the course of ordinary conversation, so this episode is liberally sprinkled with them (and some three- and five-letter words too). Don't even start listening if that is likely to offend you. Also in attendance are prior guests Presley Cannady, CavScout, Justy of RDF Underground, Fernando Gonzales, and Brooklyn Red Leg (later in the show). After I briefly interview Mike about how he got started in Robotech, and his time on the Robotech mailing list, we talk about yesterday's Peter Walker interview, Robotech fandom today, Roy Fokker's age in both Robotech and Macross, Thinking Caps, Macross continuity, Lancer's Rockers, and the latest Frank Agrama news, then we digress at length into Southern Cross mecha discussion, and finally close

Arguably the most controversial man in Internet Robotech fandom, Walker created the Objective: Reflex Point glossaries that subsequently evolved into the Robotech Reference Guide. This guide became known as one of the pre-eminent sources of fan speculation and reasoning about the timeline of Robotech and the probable capabilities of the Robotech mecha, based on visual cues from the TV series and on translations of the original Japanese source material. And the more vocal members of the Robotech fandom community have been arguing about it ever since. The interview covers how the whole thing got started, what he's been doing since then, and what he thinks of where Robotech fandom is going today. We talked about the fandom experience early on, RoboCon 10 in 1995, and what Peter has been doing since largely departing from Robotech fandom. Other callers included fellow Robotech fans CavScout and Brooklyn Red Leg. Formerly-lost episode recovered thanks to Robotech fan Wayne Joyce.

What began as an ad-hoc Robotech chat turned into a four and a half hour long conversation as I was joined by most of the on-line Robotech fans I know, including some newcomers but also a number of old-school folks from the good old days of the Robotech mailing list--Presley Cannady, Justy Ueki Tylor, CavScout, Brooklyn Red Leg (aka "Rabid Southern Cross Fan"), Fernando--and we discussed a wide-ranging array of interesting topics, including Robotech fandom through the eighties and nineties, the nature of Protoculture and other technical and historical minutia about the Robotech background, visual cues in the show, our various fanfic "epics" (including the one Robotech fanfic ever known to be MiSTied) and so on. I apologize for the length, but in our defense, there's a lot of truly fascinating stuff here--and wouldn't you rather have "too much" Robotech neepery than too little? You may want to listen to this one a little bit per day for a week or so. It's worth it, trust me. (Also to note, I changed the grade
