Ep. 3 - Old School Night

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 of the show from All Audiences to Parental Control because there ended up being an occasional four-letter word from time to time; nothing too offensive but I figured better to be safe than sorry.) This formerly-lost episode recovered thanks to Robotech fan Wayne Joyce.
