Comic Timing – Episode 25

Episode 25 of Comic Timing has finally arrived. We are at one quarter of one hundred, woo! To celebrate, I am joined by Denise Gronda of the Birds of Geek Podcast, Silver Bullet Comics columnist Mitch Montgomery, and Tony Guagliardo, otherwise known as MobileHome on the Comic Geek Speak forums. Along with myself, and a red van with a Florida license plate, we form The New York City Rental Car Riders! We all took the ride over to Reading, PA for Comic Geek Speak’s Episode 200 celebration, and we have our recap here. We also touch on the future of comic book podcasts, whether or not gathering such as this will continue to grow in size as the years go by, and what it is like to be part of such a thriving forum community. That, and we touch on some comments left on Episode 24. Thanks to Tony, Mitch, and Denise for such a great time, and thanks for the ride!

As always, you can send e-mail and comments to comictiming@gmail.com, and please vote for Comic Timing on Podcast Alley.

Comic Timing – Episode 14

It’s here! Episode 14 is released, and it is one of our best episodes yet. Peter Rios of Comic Geek Speak joins David Price and myself for a discussion on the ramifications, and benefits of being a comic geek. Should you hide your passion from those close to you, or is it quite simply another hobby and nothing to be ashamed of? We also touch on the media effect on the social stigma associated with comic books, what TV shows like Heroes and Who Wants To Be a Superhero? might do to help comic geeks get accepted, significant moments that led to us accepting our comic geekdom, how comics can help you relate to younger generations, and we announce the winner of our iTunes art contest. To see the art, just view the Now Playing tab in iTunes and you can see the new face of Comic Timing.

Speaking of the new face of Comic Timing, with this episode David Price steps down from his position of co-host to pursue a new project, which I am eagerly anticipating. David will still be back from time to time, but simply will not be on every episode. He will be missed, but you’ll hear the Man of 1000 Podcasts around, and will also have plenty of great guests to talk comics on the show. A special episode of Comic Timing, episode 14B, will be released no later than Sunday, which will be tackling the recent news development: the delay of Civil War.

Until next episode, thanks for listening!
