The always-excellent Bat Segundo podcast has Peter Fernandez and Corinne Orr as guests, both actors who have contributed their voices to many a radio show and animated series for television among other roles, including the Speed Racer anime, which is rather timely since IDW have been reviving the old Now Comics version with volume 1 and 2 due out in the New Year while DMP have the Speed Racer Mach Go Go Go box set coming up, plus there’s the big-screen adaptation is in the works. The subjects covered, according to the description of the interview on the Bat Segundo site, include:
