Space Station Liberty

Trying out the new TalkShoe interface, and celebrating getting many of my old shows back!

Last week it was card games, this week it's board games! We'll be talking to Strange Machine Games co-owners Darius Hambleton and Jeff Mechlinski about the Robotech board games their company is producing, "Robotech: Attack on the SDF 1" and "Robotech: Ace Pilot". After the interview, we'll discuss any other Robotech-related matters that present themselves. Hope to see you there!

Joining us for this episode will be David Killingsworth, owner of SolarFlare Games. SolarFlare has recently gotten a license from Harmony Gold to put out some Robotech-related board and card games, including the new Robotech: Force of Arms. We'll be talking to him about that. Remember that YOU can call or chat in to ask questions, so have them ready! We'll also be discussing recent developments in the ongoing Harmony Gold BattleTech lawsuit. See you soon!

Veteran voice actor/writer/ADR writer Frank Catalano, voices of Rand and Lt. Dennis Brown from Robotech, one-time Rick Hunter cosplayer, joins us again to discuss his book "Rand Unwrapped," his experiences acting and writing for voice acting, and anything else fans would like to ask him. Be sure and check out his book -- http://amzn.to/2gL1eP3 -- it's an enthralling memoir of what it was like to work on Robotech, along with a look behind the scenes at what it's like to act and write for voice acting. And it'll give you something to talk about when you call into the show! Hope to see you there!

Hey, everyone, I'd like to invite you to join me again in another week's time, for another far-ranging fan discussion of all things Robotech. I hope I'll see you there!

I'd like to talk about the new Harmony Gold BattleTech lawsuit, the new version of the Castle of Cagliostro commentary track I did, and who knows what else? I'll try to remember to show up this time. I'll even set an alarm!

What kind of Veritech does Santa fly? Does he bring presents to good little Zentraedi, too? Can there even BE a "little" Zentraedi? What would an Invid want for Christmas? These and other questions may be under consideration this Robotech Christmas Eve!

Let's get together again and chat for an hour or so.

The last couple of shows have been good, so let's have another! Who knows? Perhaps someone from Harmony Gold will show up. Even if not, we can still talk about the latest news, or lack thereof. Join us!

Not everyone can stay up to the wee small hours, so let's get together Saturday! Anyone is welcome, be they fans or Harmony Gold representatives. Discussion will be civil no matter who shows up.

How have you all been? I've been doing various things. If anyone shows up, we'll chat and catch up on Robotech and related matters. If not, I may not record the show. It's not as much fun by myself.

My first interview with Frank Catalano, voice actor and writer. This show's original posting was lost due to a TalkShoe glitch. Special thanks to Robotech fan Andrew Skelton for preserving it for posterity!

It being a slow news week, we touch upon things like the Protoculture Addicts freelancer search, Palladium's listing of the Shadow Chronicles RPG in their on-line store, questions from chatters, and the like.

Tommy Yune joined us for topics including the distributing deal with Fireworks, the solicitation of the Robotech RPG in Previews for December, and Palladium's new press release. After that came the usual random Robotech chat.

I was joined by Harmony Gold's Tommy Yune and (for the first hour) Kevin McKeever, and fans including "Reverend" Presley Cannady and RDF Underground's Justy, for a discussion that started with the Anime Bento film festival and the Shadow Rising trailer revealed therein, moved on to discuss the purported "leak" of a Shadow Rising script treatment, and then headed off into a discussion of continuity, the Sentinels, Protoculture, the absence of Macross influences in Shadow Chronicles, and other old-school discussion. There were also special guest callers from Australia and Guatemala who dialed in to ask the age-old question, "Excuse me, but what is this show about?"

Today I interviewed Bruce Lewis, author of the Robotech: Aftermath comic book series, about his introduction to anime fandom, his contributions to the Robotech canon, and the comic book industry. (Bruce Lewis passed away in 2016; RIP.)
