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

What happens when you get David Hine and Shaky Kane together for an interview before their big 3 comic shop tour? Well insanity and hilarity ensued as we talk all about Bulletproof coffin, Doctor Who, how many users are on skype and how many projects Dave is working on right now.

Talking to Fred Van Lente !

Welcome to episode #5 where there would have been a cold open with yours truly but... still trying to work out the show bugs. Hopefully for shows #7 and #8, we'll see if I can fix the program i'm using.

This week we were joined by the very awesome Fred Van Lente as we talk about Amadeus Cho, working with Greg pak and Jeff Parker, his twittring, his thoughts on Justified and Red Dead Redemption as well as the tease to the project that has since been announced!

Two things I wanted to point out: Mike Galusick was supposed to join me for this episode but sadly Skype seemingly hated both of us and we didn't appear online for each other. I've promised to make it up to him.

Also the teased project has been revealed as a Taskmaster mini! Which definitely has my attention. Also announced was the mini bringing back Hercules and a new incarnation of the god squad starting, I believe, in September! We will certainly be following up with Fred and he may bring someone along. Tune in for that future show.

We return with a new Why I Love Comics podcast!

In this episode I am joined by new friend and very cool fan film creator, Mike Galusik. Mike is the writer, director, producer and originator of the popular Deadpool series of fan film's on YouTube. We talk about his thoughts on Wade's overexposure, the reaction of people to the fan films, what he thinks of Colin Ferrel and just much, much more. Also, as a disclaimer, this is the Deadpool show basically but honestly it's a really strong episode that is worth a listen and Mike is a very talented and opinionated comic fan who makes for a great guest!

We're back with our latest episode of the Why I Love Comics podcast but this week EVERYTHING CHANGES!

Assembling a round table of four, Chuck Moore, Eric Ratcliffe, Brant Fowler and John Wilson now vote on the top 10 comics they want to talk about each week and then we come to the table loaded to discuss the issues. Some will love a story, some will hate it and we serve it all up for your listening pleasure as we cover 20 titles from two weeks of books. Add to that a new "lighting round" where each individual gets a chance to chat up a couple extra titles they recently discovered or enjoyed and you have a mix of comic reviews in one podcast package.
