Stephen Paul
ROLE: Very Special Guest and Translator of One Piece in Shonen Jump and MangaPlus, How’s it Going, Stephen?
CREW SINCE 2010 | FIRST APPEARANCE: Episode 112
Stephen is a veteran professional translator who has worked on hit series like Akane-banashi, Show-ha Shoten, Saint Young Men, Vinland Saga, Durarara!!, Soul Eater, Yotsuba, and of course, One Piece. He has been responsible for the translations of VIZ’s One Piece manga since early 2012 and will probably never stop. On the podcast, he sheds light on little-known or otherwise unexplainable references behind the series, as well as in-depth background on translation choices. Don’t challenge him to wordplay unless you want a pun of bricks dropped on your head. When not podcasting you may also find him with his wife and cat Simba.

Greg Werner
ROLE: Our Man in Japan
CREW SINCE 2009 | FIRST APPEARANCE: Episode 29
Greg brings us news and perspectives from One Piece’s homeland, and his unique insight about the series. Greg has been a One Piece fan since nearly the beginning of its run, starting thegrandline.com where he meticulously documented the beginnings of the series. In Japan, Greg has become a One Piece celebrity, winning a major televised competition against One Piece’s manga editors. Today, Greg writes columns on the official One Piece website, one-piece.com and teaches students in Japan, and is intimately involved with the series.
