  2. Lightning Round #21: INTERVIEW - Nathan Marchand, Creator of ‘Origins: Rito Bandora’

    Lightning Round #21: INTERVIEW - Nathan Marchand, Creator of ‘Origins: Rito Bandora’

    In this dual-upload with The Power Trip's spiritual successor, Henshin Power V3, the tables have turned—Nathan is interviewed on his own podcast! Why? Because he “Mel Gibson’d” (wrote, directed, edited, produced, and starred in) a one-shot origin episode for Scyther Podcasts’ Power Rangers: The Audiodrama titled “Origins: Rito Bandora.” Nathan explains how he got the role of Rito Bandora (or Rito Revolto, depending on who you talk to) and how this special episode came about. Also, the Snarky Bonehead himself hijacks the show for a few minutes—and he’s so powerful, it actually messes up the recording slightly! Listen to “Origins: Rito Bandora” on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify. Additional music: “Game Over” by Jacob Lizotte.
