It’s time to Ranger Up with @trekkieb47 as he talks all things Power Rangers on the Four Eyed Radio Network with RANGER COMMAND POWER HOUR!

In the wake of the death of George Floyd and the protests across the country, Eric talks with Ro (@RoliverQueen_), Ash (@TheMacabreChap), Five (@SentaiFive), Von (@MrCooper92) from the Leg10n of Boom (@Leg10nOfBoom) and Lee (@PirateMonkie) about why Black Lives Matter and why representation is important in the Power Rangers fandom.

How has watching and growing up with Power Rangers shaped our values? What lessons have we learned or need to improve on? Which Power Rangers represent us? What can the fandom do to rise up and take action against injustice?

Then, in our Ranger Nation Answers segment, we read the responses as to what Power Rangers character do our listeners feel most represents them.

RangerStop

It’s time to Ranger Up with @trekkieb47 @secretrangerfan & @ZachLaVoy as they talk all things Power Rangers on the Four Eyed Radio Network with RANGER COMMAND POWER HOUR!

In this episode we will be discussing our thoughts on each day of the RangerStop 7 convention as well as recordings of the panels we attended.

This was the first RangerStop that all of the hosts attended and was A.P.’s first convention. The convention was also the first event all three original hosts were together. For us, RangerStop 7 was an experience we will never forget and a perfect way to celebrate five years of RCPH.

A big thanks to show owner Michael Buoni and his hardworking team for a great experience as well as the press badges. We are looking forward to the next one and hope to see more of our listeners there. Enjoy the show!

Can’t Stop. Won’t Stop. RangerStop.

It’s time to Ranger Up with @trekkieb47, @secretrangerfan & @ZachLaVoy as they talk all things Power Rangers on the Four Eyed Radio Network with RANGER COMMAND POWER HOUR!

The hosts are back together to talk about headcanons in Power Rangers! We revisit a topic from one of our early episodes (Episode 13) during our first year and let our listeners share their own thoughts.

What’s a headcanon? It’s a personal canon or fan theory that fills in the gaps in the show’s own continuity until it’s actually incorporated into the show’s universe.

We also discuss some major news: the passing of Robert Axelrod (Finster, Lord Zedd, among others…), Power Rangers Beast Morphers pins from Lineage Studios. #HasbroToyPic campaign, new Lightning Collection figures, NYCC plans for Boom! Studios and breaking news that happened during recording. WWE’s Power Rangers connection, new Megazord from nWay Games, the premiere of the Power Rangers 2017 movie on SYFY and Phase 2 of Renegade Game Studios “Heroes of the Grid” game.

Finally, we have a very special and exciting announcement for our fifth anniversary season. Rangers, stop everything you’re doing and listen!
