Kevin McKeever and Tommy Yune join me to dispel the rumors that Shadow Rising is on hiatus, stemming from a misinterpreted answer at the A-Kon convention last weekend.

NOTE: I'll have the Mike Reynolds episode available for D/L sometime Sunday. As for this show, with the interview over, some of the fans feel like hanging out and geeking on Robotech in general. And who am I to deny the urge to geek?

Tonight's featured guest was Mike Reynolds, the voice actor behind Dolza, Senator Russo, and many incidental character voices in Robotech, as well as one of the show's writers and ADR editors. He was a truly fascinating guest, and had many interesting things to say.

Tonight's guest was Jason Marker, the fellow who is writing the Southern Cross RPG for Palladium. The first hour is devoted exclusively to Robotech news and questions about the RPG; the second hour branches out into other SF and anime, including a review of the Devil May Cry anime by Charles Phipps.

On the agenda for tonight: I got a new cellphone, and was finally able to get the Robotech: New Generation cellphone game! Also, discussion of Macross Frontier, if I get a chance to watch some of it before then. And who knows what else?

Since I didn't get to do a show last weekend, and Charles Phipps was nagging me about doing another one, I decided to do one now and see how many people showed up. We began with a discussion of the announcement of Shadow Chronicles coming to BluRay, then I talked with Charles about his introduction to Robotech fandom, and Shadow Chronicles. After a while, Tommy Yune showed up, and Mantino called in, and we had more of a discussion. In the second half of the show, I take 20 minutes or so to talk about my newest animated object of affection, Avatar: The Last Airbender. Avatar is a gorgeously-realized series that compares very favorably to Robotech. Then the Robotech talk resumes for the rest of the hour.

I'm going to try running the show in a Saturday afternoon timeslot for a while, so I will not be directly competing with Battlestar Galactica and so that it will give European Robotech fans more of a chance to get in on the show. Up for discussion today: more on the RPG, and whatever else comes to mind.

Because, really, what else is there to talk about right now? :)

Continuing from the previous show, this episode features a bunch of fans talking about Robotech. It starts out as these fans attempt to supply advice to a new gamer, who had just gotten the Shadow Chronicles RPG but never actually done much roleplaying before, and continues into matters of the Southern Cross and New Generation, such as just what the heck is really in HBT canisters.

For this show, I, Brooklyn Red Leg, Schneeg, CavScout, and Tommy Yune got together to discuss the Shadow Chronicles RPG that Palladium has finally brought to press. The show went to three hours. The former 90 minutes were focussed on the game; the latter 90 minutes will be split off into their own show.

Another weekly episode. Tommy Yune will not be joining us, so it will be all fan-talk. Still, show up; we'll see what happens.

Tommy Yune was with us tonight to talk about the new RPG (almost twice as thick as originally intended, at the original price!), more on the rationale behind the Condor Battloid's nontransformability, and a discussion of the prospects for a series release on Blu-Ray disc--and more!

Why is the Condor no longer a Veritech in the forthcoming new Robotech RPG? In the first half hour of the show, I, Brooklyn Red Leg, Roger Harkavy, and Presley Cannady kick the question arround. In the second half hour, we are joined by Tommy Yune for the Harmony Gold take on the matter, as well as other questions including the end of the writer's strike and Shadow Chronicles' eventual high-definition DVD release. In the third half-hour, we discuss Tommy's answers and other random Robotech-related matters.

The standard show at the standard timeslot. Who knows who might show up?

Another Robotech Friday Night! No specific guests scheduled yet, but this is subject to change. We had a great show last week, don't miss this one!

Tonight we'll have a special guest! Wes Abbott of the Return to Macross comic books! And big show news: we now have a web chat interface, no downloading required!

To be discussed: the first episode of Macross Frontier; anything else new and improved in the world of Robotech.

Tommy Yune clears up the confusion over the cancellation of the Aoshima TLEAD (Beta) toy, answers some mailed in questions, and chats about show stuff.

Another regularly-scheduled episode! What gets discussed depends on who shows up!

Welcome, readers of the Springfield News-Leader! After taking a break for Thanksgiving, I will host a new episode of Space Station Liberty this week. Hope to see you there!
