It was bound to happen. Paul was whisked screaming into the jungle by the smoke monster. Screaming. Like a little girl. We mourn his loss as he’d want us to, by talking about the week’s comics. Paul’s away this week, apparently testifying before Congress Wayne is all that and a bag of chips Aron sucks […]
Fred Van Lente is a tease. Seriously, the writer of such books as Iron Man: Legacy, Incredible Hercules, Marvel Zombies, Amazing and Web of Spider-Man teases all kinds of hot, gooey awesomeness in his interview with Paul. He’s got lots of stories in the pipeline at Marvel and he talks all about ’em in this […]
I listen to a few role-playing podcasts and have sampled a few more and there is one topic that has come up in almost all of them, sometimes multiple times. Sooner or later, almost every podcast discusses ways of growing the hobby and recruiting new players. I’ve heard all manner of methods from approaching likely […]
Unfortunately, you can’t discuss the Bear Swarm without talking about Rob Justice. Rob Justice is always wrong, always abrasive and listening to his voice is like having a root canal done in your inner ear. There is nothing redeeming about Rob Justice and only the mentally incompetent or clinically insane would agree with him or […]
Remember those comic strips that were so popular not so long ago? The ones like Order of the Stick, Nodwick and Dork Tower that take their humor from not only the experience of playing a role-playing game, but also the clichés of the games themselves? Imagine if one of those comic series was a podcast. […]

Iron Man/Thor Iron Man/Nova War of the Supermen Mouse Guard/Fraggle Rock Atomic Robo Artifacts Doctor Solar/Magnus Robot Fighter Radical GI Joe Free Funnybook Day is Monday, […]
This coming Saturday, May 1st, is Free Comic Book Day, a global event in which millions of free comic books will be given away absolutely free-of-charge to people visiting participating stores. So, what better time to visit with Joe Field whose brainchild FCBD is? Joe’s not just a mad genius bent on putting free comics […]
In the days leading up to Free Comic Book Day, Aron, Paul, Wayne, and Jonathan gathered to discuss the books they paid for, announce a contest winner, and tease Free Funnybook Day! Saturday May 1st is Free Comic Book Day at a participating comic shop near you! Monday May 3rd is Free Funnybook Day right […]
“Who has the power to kick boredom in the nuts? The Podge Cast is here.” Perhaps I’m reading too much into this line from the theme song of the Podge Cast, but I think the rather ambiguous answer that rather important question is indicative of the unpretentious outlook of the cast members. They do not […]
Aron and Paulie spend an evening talking with the vacationing (other) Paul and Elder from the Bear Swarm Podcast. The Bear Swarm guys are on their spring tour visiting other shows. In this episode we establish their funnybook street cred, discuss superhero role playing games, sandbox gaming, and even a little about social combat mechanics. […]
