Why I Love Comics: The Audio Edition (general)
Eric Ratcliffe and friends discuss all things pop culture, from comics, to movies, to video games, to music and more each week.

Welcome to another episode of the Why I Love Comics podcast. This week, we take a break from our panel of insanity to talk one on one with the very talented Bryan Q Miller. On a personal note, Bryan has been writing one of my favorite books at DC for the last 2 years and he is a very awesome guest. 

Things discussed: 

DC reboot, when he found out it would be happening
His start as a Smallville intern (with some very amusing smallville discussion)
Collaborating with artists and fellow writers
His work with Stephanie and Oracle as characters (from the start to the end, inspirations and all that)
Social networking! (Wikipedia and Twitter)
His early days as a nerdy kid 

Next week...we discuss cult characters and the books they inhabited and how they might have succeeded or failed as well as Andre and I's thoughts of the green lantern movie. 

As always, you can follow me on Twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/EricRatcliffe) or friend me on Facebook (facebook.com/doombug) and send me feedback, show suggestions or really anything via my email (eric@comicrelated.com) or the boards at comicrelated.com!

Wait...episode 29? Maybe we should go back to original numbering and we'd be over 50. Anyways, welcome to yet another edition of the Why I Love Comics podcast. As you'll hear me in the episode, my partners in crime were elsewhere this week and I have gained some newer music recently, so I decided to do another nerdy music episode! Prepare yourselves, listeners, as we jump across the musical multiverse from Electronic (Allcaps) to Rap (Childish Gambino) to acoustic (Amanda Palmer)! It's all here in this very special episode of the Why I Love Comics podcast!

Also, a warning to our more sensitive listeners, there is adult language in this episode.

Song #6 - MC Chris "QT"

Another song from the same album. Easy to love it if you've ever played a video game.

Song #10 - Team Unicorn "G33K & G4M3R G1RL$"

Song #11 - Amanda F'ing Palmer "In My Mind"
