Poke Press Digest Podcast: Episode 59: Michael Haigney/Kyle Hebert

In the first segment(1:18-21:20), I interview Michael Haigney, a localizer for early seasons of the Pokémon anime. We talk about his career in entertainment, what the process of adapting an anime is like, and a few of his other experiences. Don't forget to check out his podcast, Original Pokéman.

The second segment (22:35-26:14) is an archival interview with Kyle Hebert. Originally recorded at Anime Milwaukee 2014 (a press pass was provided for that event), I asked him about his recent role as Professor Oak in the Pokémon Origins mini-series. Kyle was more than happy to explain how he approached voicing the character, and we hope you'll find it as interesting as we did:
