The first information on MACROSS DELTA is here and the SpeakerPODcast crew were at ground zero at the All Japan Model & Hobby Show 2015 to hear what Shoji Kawamori himself had to say about it.
Then everyone rocks out with Ranka and Co. at the inaugural Totsugeki Deculture fan concert!

We talk about THIS. A lot.

Arcadia’s ‘Mr. K’ posted a blog entry recently that’s been a hot topic of discussion among Macross toy aficionados, as of late. Why do Arcadia’s valkyries command the prices they do? What goes into making them? The SpeakerPODcrew weighs in with their thoughts on the piece.
But first, we get together with a room full of Macross 2 fans (YES, they DO exist!) and meet the voice actor for Hibiki Kanzaki, Tsutomu Takayama.
(Many thanks to Hisame for organising the event. For more of her Macross cosplay, follow her on Facebook!)

‘Look! It’s Optimus Prime!’

In our first all-American episode, Richard and the SpeakerPODcast AMERICAN gang go to Anime Expo and report in with all the latest gossip.

Gwyn and Renato sneak into the Suginami Animation Museum to talk about meeting the legendary Macross artist Yoshiyuki Takani and experiencing the musical madness of Mylene Party.
The SpeakerPODcast Crew then gathers at the NyanNyan Cafe to say farewell to the popular Macross venue, only to be attacked by the Vajra mid-discussion.
Also, Renato gets a singing lesson from none other than Chie ‘Mylene’ Kajiura herself!
