In this lost episode of the Bonus Round, we interview Johnny Yong Bosch. If you’re not familiar with his work, he is the voice of Ichigo from Bleach, Vash from Trigun and Lelouch from Code Geass, just to name a few. We did this interview in early 2010 and released it as exclusive content on our iPhone application. Somewhere in the shuffling of content, it fell off the face of the Earth. It’s been repackaged as a fresh episode of the Bonus Round for your consumption.

NOTES
This was one of our first interviews with a voice actor over the phone. There were some technical issues, but you get the idea, I believe he was fixing his motorcycle right before we started the conversation, so he was still in his garage.
