Jim Byrnes Interview!
Or: Joe Dawson Lives!

Ladies and gents, I present for you renaissance man Jim Byrnes! Please, keep the applause to a minimum. Voice actor, live actor and musician, Jim shares his thoughts with us on the future of the Highlander franchise, the state of the music industry and its future and the more fanatical fans one can run into at conventions!
Transformers fans may remember him as Inferno on Beast Wars or as Thrust on Beast Machines, but he's probably most recognizable as Joe Dawson on Highlander the Series. Well whatever the fan base, Jim has a few things to say and we're all ears!

But what about the hardcore Transformer fan who wants all this knowledge? What about the toy collector thirsting for all the juicy tidbits? Well we have an answer for you loyal listeners, and it's a good one. If you only want to check out the rundown at thirty minutes, you're welcome to do so. It still covers all the figures in the line and isn't short on laughs.

Spectacles have to be visual don't they? So I can't have an audio spectacle can I? ...well I will say this; if ever there were a man who could verbalize the spectacular into an audio experience, it would be Scott McNeil. So sit back and listen as he astounds the ears and flummoxes the brain in another exclusive A3U Podcast! He will sound like people, robots, animals and even dare I say it... a small lump of Wasabi?
