The latest installment of the This is My Voice! podcast stars the iconic Billy West, undoubtedly one of the most well known stars in the voice industry today. Best known for his work on Futurama, West voices Philip J. Fry, Professor Farnsworth, President Nixon, Zapp Brannigan and the loveable yet disturbing Dr. Zoidberg. The list of characters Billy has brought to life also includes Bugs Bunny, Ren and Stimpy and even the Red M&M.
In this episode, hosts Eddie Bye and Rachel Sallis ask him about the inspirations behind
beloved characters, living with neurodivergence, and solving the decades long “rabbit season, duck season debate”.
Sallis stated “Billy was really generous with us, and gave us so much insight into the industry and his characters. I tried to throw him a couple of curveballs and got some interesting results.”
“Billy West is one of those rare talents that floods the room with energy. It’s impossible not to get caught up in his infectious storytelling, that’s what makes him such a special talent“ Sallis added.
This limited series will be available from the Auscast Network every second Friday at
5:00pm ACST.
Futurama is available to watch now on Disney Plus.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
