Episode 295, "The Strongcast PLATINUM" (Mike McFarland, Josh Kocurek)

On this episode of The One Piece Podcast we’re live from Washington D.C. to bring you the final edition of our Strong World special podcasts. We have a special interview with Mike McFarland where we go through the process and background behind the creation of the Strong World FUNimation dub. Then we have a full-length commentary of One Piece film Strong World with the One Piece Brand Manager for FUNimation, Josh Kocurek. If that’s not enough for you, we also have some News and a Manga Recap of Chapter 728! On this episode are hosts Zach, Ed and Steve with The Dude. Check out the Strongcast BLACK, PINK, BLUE, YELLOW, RED, GREEN, and GOLD. We want to take a moment to thank Mike McFarland, director/producer/voice actor for One Piece, and Josh Kocurek, brand manager, for coming on the show! As always, they bring a fun and unique insight to the series, and we hope to have them on again soon! We had a lot of fun making this episode, probably too much. Prepare for references, voice impersonations, singing, yelling, and farting. It’s just another episode of The One Piece Podcast. 0:00:00 Introduction 0:03:06 Interview Time with Mike McFarland 0:24:04 Strong World Commentary with Josh Kocurek 2:21:06 News with Firecrouch 2:30:46 Manga Recap: Chapter 728 3:01:28 Bagel Time with Firecrouch 3:03:31 To Be Continued Next week we have a double Anime Recap, double Toonami Recap, and a Manga Recap of Chapter 729.
