    It's Clobberin' Nostalgia Time

    Keith and Dominic are back and so are some of your favorite childhood Marvel Memories! For the Boomers, Marvel Studios' Fantastic Four announcement was dripping with '60s sentimentality. Meanwhile, Millennials were mesmerized by the X-Men '97 teaser. Naturally, it'll require a couple of Gen X-ers to break down what it all means!

Batman FTW

Yup. I listened to the recent episode on Batman. Yup. I loved it.

Nerds of Color is full of awesome conversation, diverse points of view (even ones where the hosts don't agree), and a whole lot of totally dorky nerdery! Their recent shows on what is happening around us are also essential listening, and I appreciate so much that they explored these things while still flying that geek flag (our community needs the wake-up call!).

This show deserves your earholes. So click that button! :D

A can’t-miss for me each week

Mondays are only bearable because of this podcast. Every episode is like a mini-comic-con with Keith, Don and Shawn (we miss you!!)

So good

Man. Shawn and Keith Jeep it light but intelligent. Good fun and positive vibes. This is great!
