The One Piece Podcast

On this episode of THE ONE PIECE PODCAST we return with Zach, Ed, Steve, Greg, and even a little bit of Firecrouch. We have TWO manga recaps including one for Chapter 617 and one for Chapter 618, some News, some Piece Together, and an interview with Christopher R. Sabat (Roronoa Zoro) as part of our Anime Fans Give Back fundraiser for Japan. CLICK HERE TO DONATE NOW A STATEMENT TO ALL ONE PIECE PODCAST FANS: We want to take this opportunity to thank and apologize to ALL of the One Piece Podcast listeners out there for putting the show on hold for so long. This was an extraordinary event and we felt that One Piece needed to be put aside briefly to address the strife of the people who bring it to us and help it thrive. We've managed to raise over $32,250 over the last two weeks, and have banded together anime fans of all shapes and sizes to make a difference. We're back now, and we're not going anywhere! In fact, we'll be bringing you all the goodies from our 24 Hour Marathon and 10 Hour Marathon for Anime Fans Give Back, and you guys are going to love it. In the coming weeks we'll have interviews with Luci Christian (Nami), Stephanie Young (Robin), Eric Vale (Sanji), and many, many more. Think of it as a new "Month of Awesome."
