The TFG1 Podcast

Thanks so much for the Dan Glivezan and Gregg Berger interviews! I really, really enjoyed them! I'm also interested in your new-and-improved G1 Podcast! The last handful of episodes of this podcast…covering the cartoon's 3rd Season…were a LOT of fun to listen to!

It's fun to have a podcast that specifically focuses on the original Transformers G1 episodes that I grew up on as a kid but, at least based on the first episode, I feel as though it is unnecessary to do a complete blow-by-blow synopsis of each episode and I think that his criticisms of the episodes are a bit on the "nitpicky" side. I remember how there were a lot of animation/voiceover flubs throughout the series but I think every animated series has issues like that. In terms of episode reviews, I was more interested in hearing what he had to say about the storyline/character developments more than the animation flubs. I will probably continue listening however to see how it progresses. I'm interested in hearing what somebody else has to say about the animated movie.

I hope you all make more episodes - I've loved the original Transformers since 1984 when I was a brainy little sixth grader, and have only loved that incarnation of Transformers since then. Your show really helped to fill the void; I can only hope that my new podcast, TFG! Talk Radio, can live up to some of the great stuff you've got here - except that we will never be "explicit," LOL. 'Til all are one!

Michael Blanchard made his podcasting start with this title, and you can see how he matures as a host within the 24 episodes of this run. Although he gives adequate overviews of each Transformers episode in every show, TFG1Podcast really shines towards the end of the series. This is when the series changes from a single host (Michael plugging through scripted reviews) to a multi-host format (Michael and others chatting about Transformers). You can definitely see Michael taking on the podcasting learning curve here, and the set ends on a strong note with some really funny episodes.
