Marc and Greg review Voltron Legendary Defender: The Blade of Marmora, the 8th episode from Season 2 on Netflix. Our Voltron Fan Spotlight, Cubbie (aka CB Mako) from Australia, a long-time fan of Voltron AND the Podcast, joins in on the review. We also talk about Voltron books, Playmates Toys Diecast Voltron figures and SDCC.
Cubbie (@cubbieberry), who has long been a fan of Voltron and this podcast, has been involved in Voltron Fan Fiction for quite a long time as well, and dabbles with fan art and cosplay, too!
Also, these were the literary writers festivals where she was part of a panel and discussed fandom and fanfiction:

When we started reviewing The Blade of Marmora, we talked about Trevor Devall, who plays Antok, and that he hosted a podcast called VoicePrint with Trevor Devall and Guests for many years, where he interviews Voice Actors. We had trouble finding it on iTunes, but here is a link to his Facebook Page for the Podcast Group, where if you request to join, maybe you can get Trevor to bring back this podcast:

Trevor hosted an episode with Voltron Force voice actors back in 2011. If you can get the audio, here's a link to the episode:
Here are some screenshots from The Blade of Marmora:
We also talked about Playmates Toys, who are showing off their DreamWorks Voltron Metal Defender Collection at SDCC, through Toys-R-Us, at the Entertainment Earth Booth.
Here's a look at Black Lion:
Greg will be reviewing this whole set when it becomes available, so look for that video on our YouTube channel and you never know, YOU may have a chance to win some of these great Diecast Voltron Lions on a future podcast, so keep listening!
As always, Thanks for listening! Let's Voltron!!
