One of the coolest custom diecast builders ever joins me on the show, that being SuparRobo. If you don't know him, this is your chance, not only does he build his own cars, he builds amazing 1:18 scaled models and very particularly had recently made the 1:18 Deora 2 and 1:24 Hollowback customs that utilized some 100% Hot Wheels as well as the $10 Speeder series. This guy is awesome and I hope you'll enjoy this episode of The Squared Corner Podcast.

You may know him from his work in Bionicle: Mask of Light, SlugTerra, Lego Ninjago, My Little Pony, Johnny Test, and so many more. And not only do we talk a little about that, but also on probably the biggest role in my opinion, the voice of the one and only Vert Wheeler. The surf rat we have all come to know and love came to life because of Andrew's performance, and today you'll be able to hear what it was like working on the project, opinions on Vert Wheeler, and ambitions for future projects.
