As I mentioned in a SacAnime post in January, I recorded a few interviews and a couple panels using a recently purchased portable recorder. I finally got my act together and combined them into one long podcast episode. Don’t worry, time markers are in the show notes below.
UPDATE 3/7 6AM PST: The first upload of this episode included panels being cut off near the end due to screw-ups when I converted the original WMA recordings into an editable format. A fixed, more full-featured version has since been uploaded.
Show Notes
(0:00 – 0:45) “Koi no Jumon wa Papa-PiPu-Pa”, sung by Yuko Ogura (School Rumble ED B-side)
(0:45 – 3:32) Introduction, where I forget to say my own name.
(3:41 – 6:43) Toy Fusion interview in dealer’s hall
(6:51 – 11:53) Rebecca Hicks interview in dealer’s hall (Little Vampires; Lunasea Studios)
(12:01 – 1:07:59) Tom Kane panel (IMDB); my favorite part was about Invasion Iowa. The occasional noise at the beginning is me trying to look through the program guide and moving the recorder around.
(1:08:07 – 2:01:08) Full Metal Alchemist panel with Vic Migogna, Travis Willingham, and Laura Bailey. I inserted Vic’s introduction from this panel during this episode’s introduction because I couldn’t be bothered to pronounce his name correctly.
(2:01:08 – 2:02:14) Sendoff
(2:02:11 – 2:03:12) “Water Forest”, composed by Yoko Kanno (Darker Than Black BGM)
Transitions:
