Happy 30th Anniversary Voltron! On the Official 30th Anniversary of the date Voltron: Defender of the Universe debuted on Television (Sept 10, 1984), Let's Voltron: The Official Voltron Podcast host Marc Morrell interviews Tiffany Ilardi, the Managing Director at World Events Productions, owner of the Voltron brand.
Marc and Tiffany talk about the many plans that can be mentioned for the kickoff of Voltron's 30th year. Tiffany talks about some of the products that will be available for sale at a special 30th Anniversary section of the online store.
Tiffany tells us about some of the licensees she's worked with over the years, some of the strangest products, and some that have captured the hearts of the fans.
As the fans ask Tiffany questions, we hear what a typical day might be like for Tiffany at the WEP offices in St. Louis, Missouri. She answers questions related to her role on Voltron: The Third Dimension and Voltron Force, and gives us an idea about the relationship DreamWorks has with World Events Productions.
At the end of the podcast, Tiffany announced the name of our “Show Us Your Voltron” contest winner.
