On this special episode, we celebrate the life & work of Mike McFarland, former ADR director of One Piece & voice of Buggy the Clown. For over 20 years, Mike McFarland was a driving presence in and out of the recording booth, directing, writing, and performing in numerous anime dubs which went on to become cultural mainstays. On a more personal note, Mike was a frequent guest in the One Piece Podcast’s early days, generously offering us his time & insight, and we were extraordinarily privileged to call him a friend of the show. Join Zach & Steve for a discussion on Mike’s legacy, as well as some highlights from his appearances on the podcast. Featuring interviews from: Episode 200, “The Shape of Things to Come” (with Mike McFarland) Episode 260, “Pardon Our Guests” (with Mike McFarland & Josh Kocurek) Episode 295, “The Strongcast PLATINUM” (with Mike McFarland & Josh Kocurek) Episode 500, “We Would Pod 500 Casts” On behalf of the entire One Piece Podcast crew, we send our deepest condolences to Mike’s family & friends.
