Editors Note: Sorry the audio is a little rough in this one. We're getting new mics when we officially come back from hiatus, so bear with us in the meantime while it's kinda touch and go! We appreciate you!

In this Toku Transformer Ladies Interview we talk with Mairghread Scott, writer of The Transformers: Windblade comic and many other Transformers titles, in addition to the recent Boom!Studios Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers exclusive 6 issue comic released at SDCC this year. We pick Mairghread's brain about the Zords, who would win in a fight, the process of creating comics, women in comics and fandom, and her upcoming work.

"Things like this are really important. Building a fan community… that listens and that tries to make the medium better is really how these brands survive."

Make sure to check out Mairghread's website (http://www.mscottwriter.com/) and follower her on twitter @MairghreadScott!

In this much belated episode of Toku Ladies Podcast that sat in technical editing hell for over a month, listen to the Toku Ladies bullshit about things that are no longer relevant to current Toku events, but which might still make some interesting listening and possibly some decent fanfiction at some point.

(I'm really sorry about the incredibly long delay on this one peeps; in addition to my being suddenly and unexpectedly unemployed, we ran into some really strange issues recording and it was super hard to cut back together. So additional apologies for some of the audio problems I couldn't find a way to reel in. I'm already brainstorming ways to avoid these issues in the future. --PPP)

In this special interview episode, the Toku Ladies talk to actress and teacher Royce Herron, who portrayed the character of Ms. Appleby in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers seasons 1-3. From behind the scenes of the original show to discussing feminism, humanism, and her current work, Royce Herron captivates and entertains the Toku Ladies with her experiences and reflections of her outstanding and lengthy career.

On The Toku Ladies Podcast's 1 Year Anniversary, we do an episode full of celebrations. Talking about ourselves, our favorite things, things the podcast has accomplished and our goals for the future, Toku Ladies is leveling up in this special extra length episode. Join us in celebrating our year milestone with giveaways on our twitter, and be sure to let us know how excited you are for year number 2!

Episode 14 finds the Toku Ladies discussing the large amount of jerks in recent Toku episodes, while also lamenting hiatus's, arguing about who Tyler's father might be, getting passionate about the Jake vs. Chase debate, and generally being our sassy, giggling selves.

Stay tuned for our next episode, The Anniversary Episode, where we celebrate doing whatever this is we've been doing for a whole entire year, coming May 2nd!

Featuring former Time Force Pink Ranger Erin Cahill, this panel was recorded for us by RiderJetFire from DTR during UCLA's first annual Geek Week. A stunning array of qualified and talented fangirls talk about Super-Shero powers to combat sexism, Nerd Girl Identity, Misogyny and Racism in Geek Spaces, How to be an Ally, and Representation in Media.

Please Note: Because this is a live panel recording, volume varies widely across the board. There are many applause, some of which are very loud, so please keep your finger on your volume dial if you are sensitive to these things.

How do we Fandom, and why? It's a universal question, and the Toku Ladies (finally) tackle it in this episode, the long awaited conclusion to Episode 10.

What makes Fandom unique? What attracts us to certain Fandoms? What's important about Fandom? We answer these questions for ourselves and ask them of you in this episode.

The novel mentioned in this episode is The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller.

Sometimes there just so much news going on in the Toku fandom that discussing and dissecting it all supersedes whatever else we had planned. From discussing the most recent episodes of Dino Charge, to lamenting the shortcomings of Kamen Rider Drive, to speculating over who will be The Last Ninja (and who should be), to discussing the short "Power/Ranger", the Toku Ladies are here to talk about all the news, all the time.

Here is it! The Dino Charge reaction episode. Tune in for our fangirl squeeing over the magnificent goddess that is Shelby, and our general analysis of feminism in the first episode of Power Rangers Dino Charge.

Things are looking up, fans.

We also talk about the most recent eye roll worthy events of Drive and ToQger, and the Bullsh*t Weekend of 2015.
