CleanThe Orbiting Pod Episode 67 | Welcome to Episode 67 of the Orbiting Pod! This is no ordinary episode: it's our Kapow 2012 interview show! Before we get to the interviews, we have a condensed version of our regular reviews: we decipher the signals in The Secret History of DB Cooper #3, tool up with Glory #26, cross red and green to get blue in Incredible Hulk #7.1, get back on track with Justice League #9, become our own worst enemies with Dancer #1, and sign up for membership at Danger Club #2. Next week, we'll have a proper recap of Kapow, but for now, we present the multitude of interviews we were fortunate to carry out: we catch up with Becky Cloonan (Conan The Barbarian, Demo, Wolves), Joel Meadows (Tripwire), Mike Carey (The Unwritten), Angelo Tirotto and Richard Jordan (No Place Like Home), Andy Belanger (Kill Shakespeare, Black Church), Bob Wayne (DC's VP of Sales), Great Beast (Marc Ellerby and Adam Cadwell), Montynero (Death Sentence), Simon Hacking (former host, Nobrow) and finally Kate Brown and Ema Vieceli (Fish and Chocolate and Vampire Academy). | 24 5 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanThe Orbiting Pod Episode 54 | Despite a mixed week, the crew somehow find a lot to talk about within the pages of 12 very different comics.

We then get laid low by The Bulletproof Coffin: Disinterred #1, soil our pants a little with Creepy Comics #7, and sing our may through the musical mayhem of Deadpool #49.1. That’s all before we deliver our verdict on Justice League #5, give a hammering to The Mighty Thor #10, and find out if there’s more than meets the eyes to Transformers: Robots in Disguise #1. Finally we see if The Ultimates #6 really lives up to its name, check back in with the seductive siren known as Voodoo #6, and shamble along with the continuing saga of The Walking Dead #93. And yes, we did it all for you! | 2 2 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Fast becoming one of my first listens of the week
This podcast is a great and informative listen. They review the books in a way that is interesting, but doesn't massively spoil the books. The presenters are likeable and fair with their opinions. If they don't like something they can say it in a way that isn't about their ego, it's simply a comment on a book. Listening to this podcast made me visit the store over the Christmas period and I was glad I did. Of the three or four stores I visited that day, it was the only one I came away from with a feeling like I would want to return. Please keep it up guys!
