Here's world renowned comic writer, @jimzub.bsky.social explaining why Conan is STILL one of the most iconic and popular characters in not just the sword and fantasy genre, but all of pop-culture

I remember getting our first local magazine coverage and thinking, “WOW. This is the top, there's nowhere else to go with this podcasting thing”

LOL. I was short by a couple of years and not dreaming big enough.

Anyway, thank you to everyone that has ever pressed play!

You set the bar high for funny and heartfelt interviews. Thank you for sharing your stories with me!

There's plenty more soundbites where that came from, on this week's podcast with @gronbekk.bsky.social , including a pretty funny convo about trying a Twinkie for the first time with Jason Aaron, and feeding Brian K. Vaughn's family reindeer

She also talked about living in the woods in Norway and surviving the winters. I don't know if I could do without the sun for months, but Norway sounds pretty cozy during Christmas

First, I know I'm late to this, but the origin of her name is already pretty badass (Torunn = "Thor's love"), and the fact she started her career with Thor? This is some Lifetime movie shit!

I interviewed Brian Wiedman two years ago to talk about life as a comic book auctioneer at @heritageauction.bsky.social , and all the cool places he's traveled to find some of the world's rarest comics. It remains one of my favorite interviews to date

Thanks Megan! Really appreciate that

There's plenty more hip-hop stories and comic book talk where that came from, as well as some great introspection about fatherhood and creating art for the next generation, in the full interview

And we can't forget about the merch game! Czarface takes it to another level when it comes to their branding and visuals

Talking about the overlap between the two art forms of comics & hip-hop, Esoteric points to both art forms overexaggerated sense of confidence and cartoonish violence and braggadocio

Still trying to wrap my head around this one: We almost got Big L, Inspectah Deck, and Esoteric on the same track. Esoteric talks about the forming the group and some early song ideas:

You guessed it, David and Chip are both on this week's SBX pod talking about digital collectibles vs NFT, the golden years of Comixology, creator rights and equity, and what the future holds for DSTLRY

Co-founder @chipmosher.bsky.social, expresses how Neon Ichiban is an extension of the two sides of comic fandom: Readers & Collectors 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽
