Description: For this show, I interviewed James Luceno, the surviving half of the "Jack McKinney" pair whose Robotech novels became one of the most controversial subjects in early Robotech fandom. Luceno has gone on to write a number of novels in the Star Wars universe, and many questions were asked about his work in that franchise as well. A good deal of new information came out of this interview, clearing up a lot of long-held misconceptions about the books.

Description: 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!

Duration: 2:06:54
Description: 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.
