Trudging back forth from the cold, cold North to the slightly less cold, cold South, the OSMcast brings you this interview from the always awesome voice actor Jerry Jewell! He has done some greats roles such as Barry The Chopper from Fullmetal Alchemist, Claire Stanfield from Baccano!, and all sorts of stuff.

Super Cool Music Link: The Peach Truck Republic! This is the fact the jamband that Jerry speaks of! The one that he plays bass in and also vocals! Turns out, Jerry plays a pretty mean bass. And the songs, they are rockin’. We played some of their music in the breaks to give you all a taste, but clicking that link can lead you on to even more amazing things like CDs filled to the brim of music, that you can actually buy.

Okay so it’s been a month between updates… again. We’d try and say we promise to  not be more like AWO in this instance… But now that they’ve started splitting up their episodes to have a different chuck each week instead of one huge update a month, we can’t even say that!  But this really should not be a problem in the foreseeable future. We hope.

Also, welcome everyone from Ohayocon that might be visiting us right now! We are glad you came! You should check out the Index of OSM and see what other podcast goodies we may have lying in wait for you. Or hell, just subscribe to the RSS feed with you podcatcher of choice! You know you want to. We recorded a few different segments at the con, which we’ll be rolling out to you all as time marches forward. In the meantime, you can also email us, comment, or even call the OSMline (which may or may not also be Aaron Dismuke’s phone number)!

But here’s a fun fact! I don’t know if we mentioned it or not in this version of the interview, but Jerry has gotten the most google search hits out of anything ever for this podcast. The only term that’s asked for more is “OSMcast” itself. So we know you like Jerry, folks. We know!

This week we bring you our super-short interview with voice actor and artist Sonny Strait that we got at MTAC. He’s done many roles, like Krillin from Dragon Ball Z, Maes Hughes from Fullmetal Alchemist, Lupin the 3rd from… Lupin the 3rd,  as well as the current voice of Usopp from One Piece. On top of that he’s also done directing work for FUNimation. Oh by the way, he also has his own webcomic called Car Bombs, and worked as a penciler for Elfquest for a couple of stories.

TL,DR:  Sonny Strait is a man of many talents and he gifted us some of his time to throw some questions at him, so here they are for you to enjoy.

Protip: This was done on the spot in the Artist Alley at MTAC as the man ignored his lunch to talk to us. But due to the hustle and bustle of the con this may be an episode for the home rather than for the car.

This week we decided to kick it off with our epic-ly long interview with two of the hardest working folks in anime fandom today:  Robert and Emily DeJesus of Studio Capsule. They talked about all sorts of things with us, like what it takes to make it out there as an artist and the Best Con Slogan Ever. Did we mention Emily also is the con chair for Ohayocon? Also joining us was (I believe) Richard from Akihabara Renditions.

There are a myriad of ways you can find Robert DeJesus on the Internet. There is his main site, Studio Capsule. But if you want to go where the action is, you want his YouTube page. You can also check out his DeviantArt page as well, if are feeling a little… You know… Devious.

You know, with all of these various Internet sites (and there are actually more if you know where to look), I find it really weird someone had to write a “What ever happened to Robert DeJesus?” page. Did the idea of using Google just never come up?

Of course I’m sure that you can find out about Emily using those same sites, but I’ve heard talk that she runs an mean anime con. Hopefully when 2010 rolls around we’ll get to find out!

Special props goes out to MTAC who arranged for the space and Akihabara Renditions for the tools to make this happen. SUPER special props goes out however to our buddy Elvis, whose quick cell phone action ensured that this interview took place, and for introducing us to the DeJesus duo in the first place.

And of course, thank you once more to Robert and Emily for spending their time with us.

In other news our sound guy, the illustrious DJ Inubito, has teamed up with some fellow DJs and have formed Dou(gai)jin Recordings. Further more, they have already released their first promo EP. It contains four awesome tracks and you should totally check it out.

As always, if you’d like to contact us, you can send us an email at osmcast@gmail.com, check out our forum, leave a comment in the comments section, or even give us a call on the OSMline (206-202-0071).

In a strange twist of fate, our shortest episode actually has the longest title. Go figure! At this recently past Nekocon we got the chance to chat with three awesome voice actors: Troy Baker, Aaron Dismuke, & Jerry Jewell.

Protip: Since it was the portable microphone, you’ll need to turn up the volume to hear us. But there’s not a whole lot of background noise so it’s all good.

Thanks to the awesome staff at Nekokon for making this happen, as well as our guests for sitting down with us to talk, even though it was only a little while.
