Editor's note: Please accept my apologies for the scuffed audio on the one track. This one was recorded under unusual circumstances and you should blame me, pmc, for this issue.

Char expert Pike and Kamille/Fa expert Dylan talk through the second of the Zeta Gundam novels with Stephen while pmc is off traversing the deep woods of Massachusetts.

Hello Giant Robot FM listeners! The Gundam book club starts now! On this episode, Gundam experts Mark Simmons and BJ of Zeonic Scanlations join to help us kick off this 2025 literary effort. As we'll be starting off by reading the Frederik Schodt translations of the Yoshiyuki Tomino Mobile Suit Gundam novels, we recorded this discussion about the context for those novels and how Tomino ended up a prolific novelist.

In two weeks, we'll be posting an episode where we discuss the first volume of the Mobile Suit Gundam Novels, Awakening, but this episode has no "required" reading.
