Episode 142: Live at Final Boss Con Year 5 (Part I)

The energy is electric, the cosplays are top-tier, and the microphones are hot! We are coming to you live from the floor of Final Boss Con Year Five for a massive two-part special. As the official podcast of FBC, we’re taking you right into the heart of the chaos, the community, and the quest for the ultimate loot.

Your hosts Kaiti and Jonah are steering the ship today, navigating through a packed schedule of legendary guests and local icons.

• The Upgrading Saga Begins: We check in with Ken, who has set himself a legendary challenge. Armed with a modest starting item and a dream, Ken is spent the day trading and upgrading his way through the convention floor. Will he end up with a holy grail collectible or just a very cool paperclip?

• Gaming for a Cause: Chris Francis stops by the booth to discuss Hurricon. We dive into the heart behind the heat, discussing how the gaming community is coming together to raise vital funds for the American Cancer Society.

• The Art of the Stitch: We shift gears to the creative side of the con with Rose from Druidic Crafts. She joins us to talk about the meditative world of crocheting, the "cottage-core" vibes of the con circuit, and how she brings fantastical creatures to life with a hook and yarn.

• A Visit from a Henchman: We close out Part I with a truly nostalgic deep dive. We’re joined by Steve Andreno, the man behind the mischievous Baboo from Power Rangers! Steve shares stories from the set, the legacy of the show, and what it’s like meeting generations of fans who grew up watching him serve Rita Repulsa.

This is only the beginning of our Year Five coverage. The trades are still happening, the floor is still buzzing, and we have even more guests lined up.

Make sure to subscribe and stay tuned for Part II, where we wrap up Ken’s saga and bring you even more exclusive interviews from the official voice of Final Boss Con!
