mecha2241 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 JT does a great podcast. The first episode really show his enthuasim. Give it a shot if you like the novels! Quote
1st Border Red Devil Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Yea, JT does really good podcasts. Give it a chance even if you don't like the novels (or even Robotech). Quote
Save Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 "Thought I'd drop by, figure you could use the company." JT has pulled himself up by his boot straps and has resumed a very personal mission; let's wish him well on his journey. Quote
Jasonc Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 I listened to ep.0 yesterday, and it sounds very promising. Even if you don't like HG but you grew up with Robotech, it's a great show. None of the hoopla politics, none of the drama. Just good fun. Quote
Gubaba Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 I kinda dislike the novels, but I definitely want to hear JT's take on them! Quote
Hoptimus Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Never read the books but seems like this is a cool project. Quote
Jasonc Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Never read the books but seems like this is a cool project. I never read all of them, just as a young kid, but even then, it may not be so much the novel content, then it is about JT's delivery. He makes it fun, and that's hard to do for a franchise that's spent most of its time in a crapper. Quote
Zor Primus Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I never read all of them, just as a young kid, but even then, it may not be so much the novel content, then it is about JT's delivery. He makes it fun, and that's hard to do for a franchise that's spent most of its time in a crapper. I did read them all...was in 10th grade at the time. Loved the dots the books connected from the animated series. And in many many ways, it remains better than the crap that's spewed out since 2005. Haven't had the chance to listen yet, but no worries JT...I will soon! Quote
Zinjo Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Outside of Yune's ego, makes a person wonder why they didn't try animating the books (naturally without the Macross element, due to IP infringment issues)?? Quote
Zen72 Posted August 5, 2013 Author Posted August 5, 2013 Thank you all for the words of support...it really means a lot! Episode 0 was a big success!!......As a podcaster I never make the number of downloads or statistics the primary goal.... the primary goal is that I give the audience a fun experience....but....it feels GREAT that people around the world are checking out the podcast website......Thank you! and SPREAD THE WORD because more fun is to come!So what's NEXT??? Coming August 12th.......ROBOTECH: THE MCKINNEY PROJECT EPISODE #1 "JOURNEY TO GENESIS"....our adventure into the Robotech Novels BEGINS!From the back cover of the book......"The Robotech masters have brought their war to Earth .

Hoptimus Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Loving it so far! Looking forward to the future episodes. Good stuff. Quote
Duke Togo Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 True story: I actually read End of the Circle way back in 1990. Quote
mickyg Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Wow, that book cover brings back memories! I consumed these books in my teens. Absolutely loved every bit of them. Like them or not, for me, the books are absolutely why I stayed interested in Macross. Quote
Mommar Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 I'm with mickyg, I read all of these books in middle school and it definitely helped to keep my interest as I didn't live someplace where I could just stumble across Macross, etc... Quote
