More (And Less!) Than Meets The Eye – Episode 15: Interview with James Roberts

After dissecting his books for 14 weeks, Ben & Matt had the privilege of sitting down with James Roberts to discuss all things More Than Meets The Eye/Lost Light.

From the origins of his Transformers fandom (and how it differs from Ben & Matt’s!), to his influences when building the cast, to incredibly specific questions about Mnemosurgery and Empurata, we tried to cover as much ground as possible in an hour. Don’t worry, we made sure to ask ‘Why do you hate Beast Wars, James?!?’

Next week: A short Bonus Episode delving into some alternate plans for the ending of the books and some plot lines cut for time.

The Podcast has a Twitter account, @MALTMTE, where you can find a thread of character images and mini-bios for those who have never read or are struggling to keep track of names/faces. Or leave some positive feedback/tell us how bad our Transformers opinions are, whatever you think is healthy, really!

Outro music: ‘This Is Why We Fight’ (The Decemberists Cover) – Saskia Parks

As mentioned at the end of the episode, our next podcast mini-series will be Untitled BoJack Horseman Project, which will unsurprisingly delve into BoJack Horseman, starting in November.

I used to write a lot. Then I mostly talked about how I used to write a lot. Now I kinda split the difference.
