Interview: Robert Kirkman - ‘Void Rivals’ June 14th Zertonian/Agorrian

1. Congrats on the launch of Void Rivals! How has it been getting the band back together with Lorenzo De Felici? 
2. We’re introduced to a Zertonian and an Agorrian, both of whom feel very human – how much might we expect revealed about these cultures in the first story arc?
3. Let’s talk about the Cybertronian in the room. In addition to Void Rivals, you’re overseeing a new shared Hasbro universe. Can you walk us through how this came together and what your duties look like as “showrunner?”
   1. How many months, or years, are you planning ahead?
4. What made Joshua Williamson and Daniel Warren Johnson - some of our faves! - the right fit for this universe?
5. Before you go, Robert, the most important question of all: Do you have a favorite Transformer?

We've hit another milestone, Shorties! Can you believe this? Eat My Shorts turns 4 years old! What began 35 years ago as a TV show on Fox is now a podcast on the internet. Join us as we celebrate a lifetime of memories & reminisce about the very first Simpsons clip show episode. We also spend a little time talking about expired milk pranks, the possibility of covering some modern Simpsons episodes, & the most interesting place in The Simpsons house: The Rumpus Room!
