The latest installment of the This is My Voice! podcast stars the iconic Billy West, undoubtedly one of the most well known stars in the voice industry today. Best known for his work on Futurama, West voices Philip J. Fry, Professor Farnsworth, President Nixon, Zapp Brannigan and the loveable yet disturbing Dr. Zoidberg. The list of characters Billy has brought to life also includes Bugs Bunny, Ren and Stimpy and even the Red M&M.
In this episode, hosts Eddie Bye and Rachel Sallis ask him about the inspirations behind
beloved characters, living with neurodivergence, and solving the decades long “rabbit season, duck season debate”.
Sallis stated “Billy was really generous with us, and gave us so much insight into the industry and his characters. I tried to throw him a couple of curveballs and got some interesting results.”
“Billy West is one of those rare talents that floods the room with energy. It’s impossible not to get caught up in his infectious storytelling, that’s what makes him such a special talent“ Sallis added.

This limited series will be available from the Auscast Network every second Friday at
5:00pm ACST.
