S3 Ep.5 ROBOTECH: An Interview with Kevin McKeever
Season 3 · Episode 5
vendredi 2 février 2024 • Duration 01:20:58
Daniel speaks to the Vice President of Marketting for Harmony Gold, Kevin McKeever about the 1985 hit anime series Robotech. Kevin covers the history of Robotech as well as that of Frank Aghrama and Carl Macek. Daniel and Kevin discuss the many products and projects that have been promised for years by Harmony Gold with Kevin welcoming fan question and criticism equally.
It's an eye opening look into the world of ROBOTECH through the eyes of a a Marketting Executive. Many fans have reached a point of exhaustion with what they perceive as endless excuses and unfulfilled promises by Harmony Gold and they view Kevin as the front-man for a company that has not delivered on much of what it's promised. Kevin does a good job of covering his bases here and gives somewhat of a timeline for when things can be expected to happen. That said, this interview happened during the SAG-AFTRA strikes so there is some open-endedness to certain projects many of us have waited for news on.
Put on your helmet, power up your Veritech, and get ready to kick Zendtraedi butt ... just make sure you have your radio tuned to our braodcast as we talk about ROBOTECH!
