On this episode of The One Piece Podcast we have a series of special interviews with news you can’t find anywhere else. First, we have the new One Piece brand manager, Josh Kocurek, on to discuss Toonami, Season 4, Season 5, Strong World, and his One Piece fandom. Next, we have the man himself — Mike McFarland, ADR Director, Line Producer, and voice of Buggy The Clown, as he discusses Toonami, recording Season 4 and 5, and preparing for Strong World — and more! As if that weren’t enough, we also have Jose Argumendo from the Toonami Faithful Podcast on to talk about the big One Piece announcement in our Toonami Recap. We also have our Anime Recap, some News with Firecrouch, and some Piece Together. No manga? No problem.
