Mostly Speakin' Sentai

It’s time to Ranger Up with your hosts as they talk all things Power Rangers on the Four Eyed Radio Network with RANGER COMMAND POWER HOUR!

It’s 2019 and our first episode of the new year! Our Ranger Nation Spotlight series continues as Eric (@trekkieb47) and Theresa (@thetg17) team up with James and Nicole from the podcast Mostly Speakin’ Sentai (@MSSPod). Mostly Speakin’ Sentai is a new Chicago-based podcast focused on watching Super Sentai with people who have never seen it before.

Things go off the rails when we have the longest ad read ever and James buys the Four Eyed Radio Network! What improvements (NOT changes) will alter the face of the podcast? If you survive, we talk about James and Nicole’s history with Power Rangers, their podcast, James’ music background, Nicole’s art and more!

Then, we answer your Questions from Ranger Nation. What kind of Sentai series would we create? What can Super Sentai do new compared to the past? What are our favorite (and least favorite) Sentai/Power Rangers tropes? Finally, hear our expectations for the upcoming Power Rangers Beast Morphers. Don’t ask us when it premieres…

Beware the dot dot…
