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!Music:"Insurrection: by Alexza Vesa"A Hero of the 80's" by Grand Project"Heroic Motivational Rise" (Trailer) by Alex KisenkovSupport the show

Judge Kevin McKeever, the first African-American judge to be appointed to Iowa's Sixth District court, shares his story of growing up black in Southside Chicago, his journey in the Navy and now a district court judge. My eye opening conversation with Judge McKeever shares light on the judicial system and the best way to make positive change. Prior to being appointed to the bench, Judge Mckeever was an officer with the United States Navy, an Assistant Ramsey County Attorney, a Staff Attorney with ACT Inc. and an Assistant Muscatine County Attorney. Among many involvement in the community and dedication to empowerment of veterans, Judge McKeever also serves as a board member of the African American Museum of Iowa. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ontheedgewitheddie/support

On this week’s show, I talk with dad bloggers, Adam Dolgin, Kevin McKeever, and Lance Somerfeld about the changing role of fathers. Modern dads are not only more involved than our fathers were, but many (like my guests) are passionately invested in thinking about, talking about, and writing about, the importance of being a father.

I was joined by Harmony Gold's Tommy Yune and (for the first hour) Kevin McKeever, and fans including "Reverend" Presley Cannady and RDF Underground's Justy, for a discussion that started with the Anime Bento film festival and the Shadow Rising trailer revealed therein, moved on to discuss the purported "leak" of a Shadow Rising script treatment, and then headed off into a discussion of continuity, the Sentinels, Protoculture, the absence of Macross influences in Shadow Chronicles, and other old-school discussion. There were also special guest callers from Australia and Guatemala who dialed in to ask the age-old question, "Excuse me, but what is this show about?"

Tonight we interviewed Kevin McKeever, whose job includes Production, Marketing, Research and Development at Harmony Gold. Highlights included the exclusive announcement of the Shadow Chronicles movie screenings, what I can only assume to be a prank caller, and some fans' plaints that the website should be updated more frequently--perhaps with the help of fans donating their time. An often spirited discussion but very interesting all the same.
