That, in turn, makes it twenty-five years since I moved to Los Angeles to work in the entertainment industry. Recently you reminded me that it had been twenty-four years since the premiere of EXTREME GHOSTBUSTERS, one of the series I worked on back at my days at Adelaide Productions (part of the now defunct Columbia-Tristar Children’s Television division, now Sony Animation). Shannon Muir: Greg, thanks for having me. Greg Tyler: Shannon, thanks for agreeing to do this interview. Shannon hopes that sharing the story of her journey will be an encouragement to others in theirs. World Events Productions would later ask her to partner with them in the creation of a map for their Voltron: The Third Dimension website in 1998. Part of those notes detailed a theoretical “starmap” of the Denubian Galaxy, in which the Lion Force Voltron episodes took place. In 1996, she moved to Los Angeles, but not before deciding to release online her detailed Voltron notes, including her best attempts to “world-build” for Voltron based on what had appeared in the show.

She strongly believes that her experiences as a fan of the show, and ultimately finding the confidence to reach out to production company World Events Productions several times over the years, played a strong role in her being encouraged to become a professional in animation writing and production. Shannon Muir (also known by her married name Shannon Muir Broden) has been a Voltron fan since the premiere of Voltron: Defender of the Universe in 1984.
