- The Best Source to Learn the History of Pokémon
Even when I watched Pokémon as a kid, I was highly curious as to what it was like behind the scenes of the show. Who were Ash, Misty, Brock and all the other amazing voices? I wanted to know so badly what it was like to make my favorite show. Tara and Steve are preserving history with this podcast. Each episode is eye opening and interesting as I finally get to learn about the people who helped shape my childhood. Keep it going!
