Radio Free Cybertron – All of our Transformers podcasts!
Everything from the Radio Free Cybertron network in one feed — the flagship Radio Free Cybertron, The RFC Mini-cast, Being Awesome with Rob Springer, There Goes My Money, and more.
Radio Free Cybertron is the world’s first Transformers podcast — and the world’s first toy and action figure podcast — launched in October 1999. Now approaching episode 1,000, RFC covers Transformers toy news, reviews, and collector discussion every week. We dig into Studio Series, Age of the Primes, Masterpiece, Missing Link, third-party figures, vintage collecting, and the toy industry at large. If it transforms, we’re talking about it.
Being Awesome with Rob Springer brings a lighter, fanzine-style take on Transformers collecting. There Goes My Money tracks the crew’s purchases week to week. The RFC Mini-cast covers breaking news between episodes.
All shows available at tfradio.net. New content every week.
Over 25 years. Nearly 1,000 episodes. Still rolling out.
