Hello Giant Robot FM listeners! Come back with us six years into the past to see how things played out differently in 0079. Thankfully, we have Char expert Pike on the pod to take us through the proceedings. Special thanks to Coop for filling in for me (pmc), a person who spent the weekend at the Jersey Shore.

Hello Giant Robot FM listeners! Zeta coverage starts now! Apologies for some scratchy audio this week, we had to resort to the backups but don't worry there's plenty of beautiful info here about how the Zeta Gundam novels were translated into English and what you can expect from all five(!!!) going forward.

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.

Hop on your hog, count your grenades, and get ready to roll for the back half of Megazone 23 Part 2! If it's all too much, you can simply leave like BD inexplicably does at the end of this film.
