Podcasts about comic con

Once again, Dave and Brad brought their podcast to the stage at the annual National Cartoonists Society Conference and Reuben Awards. They were joined by Dee Fish, Terri Libenson, and Jamar Nicholas — three cartoonists with very different creative paths and a wealth of hard-earned advice to share. Dee Fish Dee Fish is a cartoonist, illustrator, and writer best known for Finding Dee, her semi-autobiographical webcomic about navigating life after coming out as a transgender woman. Dee was nominated for a Reuben Award in the Best Online Shortform category. Terri Libenson Terri Libenson is the cartoonist and author behind the New York Times bestselling Emmie & Friends graphic-novel series. Before moving into graphic novels, she created the syndicated comic strip The Pajama Diaries and worked as a writer and illustrator for greeting cards. Her tenth Emmie & Friends book, Seriously, Celia?, arrives in September 2026. Jamar Nicholas Jamar Nicholas is an award-winning cartoonist, graphic novelist, and educator whose work includes the Leon series from Scholastic Graphix, beginning with Leon the Extraordinary. He also adapted Geoffrey Canada's memoir Fist Stick Knife Gun into a graphic novel and has spent much of his career teaching and encouraging young people to tell stories through comics. The third Leon graphic novel, Leon and the Big, Big Problem, is scheduled for January 2027.

We've reached the end of the month, which means it's time for another episode of our community podcast! This time around, listen in as we report on the big, bad, boatload of Simpsons news brought to us by Comic-Con and D23. And, as always, we read and respond to your questions and comments from the last round of podcasts. It's all happening on Talk to the Audience, where we're very proud to make you a member of our very select group.

Absolute potato! This week, TWIFH is delighted to bring you a special preview of Femme & Furious, a new pod-friend and great listen for fans of fandom, and especially for listeners who liked our old behind-the-scenes pop culture rundown episodes for Patreon. In this episode, our friend Julia Portela looks with a feminist lens at five (secretly six) pieces of extremely current media: Obsession, The Drama, Odyssey, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Sterling Point, and the novel Girl's Girl by Sonia Feldman. Julia is funny, smart, and definitely a fangirl. Listen to our #Gamergate episode over on her feed, too!---This week on Femme & Furious, we're breaking our own format because while it's technically a "Fast 5," we've got six properties on deck, because there was too much good pop culture to cover this month. Spoiler-free pitches up top for each one, then we go all the way in with spoilers, feminist analysis, and a few unhinged theories. What I'm covering: Obsession — the viral horror hit that outran Supergirl in theaters, the "man or the bear" discourse hiding in plain sight, and why Bear is absolutely a dog guy. The Drama — Zendaya and Robert Pattinson's wedding-week-gone-wrong dark comedy from Kristoffer Borgli, and the racial double standard baked into who gets forgiven for what. Odyssey — Christopher Nolan's mythic epic, the Emily Wilson feud, and a full breakdown of Circe, Calypso, Helen, Clytemnestra, and a theory about who Athena really is. Spider-Man: Brand New Day — Tom Holland's loneliest Peter Parker yet, the Frank Castle friendship that's carrying the movie, and a hard pass on that Little Caesars order. Sterling Point — Amazon's CW-coded YA drama, a love triangle the writing doesn't quite earn, and the most joyful period scene we've seen on TV ever. Girl's Girl by Sonia Feldman — one of my favorite books of the year, a queer coming-of-age story about girlhood, friendship, and phones as a silent second language.

Never enough! This week, V and Emily travel back to TWIFH's oldest historical event thus far: opera singer Jenny Lind's landmark 1850 tour in the United States and its accompanying “Lindmania.” Did you know that the fangirls of 1850 were Just Like Us? They sobbed, they squeed, they schemed to meet their faves, and they spent way, WAY too much on concert tickets. The quotes from antebellum Lind fans reacting to hearing secular music for the first time give us the chills. Come wait outside the stage doors with us for a glimpse at the Swedish Nightingale.SourcesListening & Longing: Music Lovers in the Age of Barnum by Daniel Cavicchi"Fandom Before 'Fan'" by Daniel CavicchiWikipediaMassachusetts Historical SocietyPromoSuper Sorry - Have you ever watched a Marvel movie and thought, "Wow, somebody really owes somebody an apology?" Like Tony Stark and Steve Rogers in Civil War. Or Thor and Loki about... well, everything. That's the question at the heart of SUPER SORRY, a podcast that revisits the Marvel Cinematic Universe one movie at a time through the lens of apologies, accountability, and unintended consequences. Revisiting one MCU movie at a time, Super Sorry hosts Amber and Todd break down who should have apologized, who deserved an apology, and imagine the conversations that could have happened. They also explore the emotional, physical, and financial fallout of superhero action, from damaged relationships to city-wide destruction and billion-dollar cleanup efforts. Whether you're a longtime MCU fan or just enjoy thoughtful pop culture discussions, SUPER SORRY offers a fresh perspective on movies you thought you knew inside and out. You can find SUPER SORRY wherever you listen to podcasts.Re: Dracula - Re: Dracula takes the famous horror tale, breaks it up chronologically (every entry of this epistolary novel has a date), and sends the story directly to your podcatcher as it happens. Every time something happens to the characters, Re: Dracula publishes an episode, in as close to real time as it happens. Some episodes are short (less than a minute), and others are lengthy (over half an hour). Re: Dracula is a faithful, text-accurate adaptation, featuring a full cast to tug on your heartstrings and sound design to keep you on the edge of your seat.Two Thousand and Late - TWO THOUSAND AND LATE is a new fiction podcast from the creator of ​​The Bright Sessions - a dark comedy that grapples with the havoc of our current moment and tries to find the hope inside of it. In the 10-episode first season, we follow Harper, a thirty-six year old nihilist whose life is upended when she's possessed by a demon hell-bent on bringing about the apocalypse. Harper doesn't want to end the world, but the demon gives her more power than she's had in her life in a long time. In a world where so many people abuse their power, will Harper be any different? Blending sharp satire with genre flair and wickedly lovable antiheroes, Two Thousand and Late is ideal for fans of Fleabag, Killing Eve, The Craft, Jennifer's Body, Yellowjackets, True Blood, and Venom. It's a potent cocktail of feminist rage, queer power, and supernatural mischief. It's unapologetically angry, surprisingly tender, and deeply entertaining.

Ben Maller gets you ready for the Comic-Con for people with insomnia, otherwise known as the Maller Meet & Greet in Las Vegas—because apparently strangers from overnight radio gathering in a bar is considered a social event. Plus, Ben unveils The Gremlin Manifesto, a tale as old as technology itself. After another romantic dance with the tech gods ended with equipment going haywire, Ben was forced to launch a one-man counterinsurgency from the old country. Nothing dramatic, just a grown man fighting machines that are supposed to make life easier. Ben also produces dusty official, government-stamped paperwork. Yes, apparently the government once took time away from misplacing billions of dollars to certify something involving Ben Maller. Finally, your tax dollars at work.

After 27 years of exhibiting at the show, Dave just had his best Comic-Con ever — including an absolutely bonkers $6,000 Sunday. But a big gross number doesn't necessarily mean a big payday. Brad and Dave dig into the actual economics of exhibiting at one of the world's biggest conventions: booth fees, sales tax, travel, merchandise, lost studio time, and the advantages Dave has because he lives within driving distance of San Diego. After roughly $19,600 in gross sales, Dave estimates his actual profit at about $11,000. Then, they get into the stuff you can actually use at your next convention: Track your sales throughout the day When sales slow down, get active Use drawing as theater Pay attention to your product mix Think about revenue per square inch Let the market prune your merchandise Your merchandise should say something about the buyer — not about you SPONSORED BY HOGAN'S ALLEY This week's episode is sponsored by Hogan's Alley, the fantastic magazine devoted to comics history, cartoonists, and the art form we love.

Send us Fan MailAnime NYC is supposed to be a fun day out, right, until you realize it's also a full-on cultural mirror. We're back with a chaotic recap that hits everything: last-minute cosplay planning, the best food finds, DJs on different floors, and the one piece of convention etiquette we wish everybody took seriously. We also talk about why it feels so good to see Black cosplayers show out, take characters we love, and make the look completely our own. From there, the conversation opens up into pure Mixed Vibes territory: who actually enjoys dressing up, who refuses on principle, and how social media keeps feeding our curiosity. We shout out Grinlock, a Black superhero comedy anime making noise and landing a bigger release, and we get into how fandom spreads through TikTok clips, Instagram shares, and real-life conversations with strangers. Then we pivot hard into the important stuff: parenting takes on what kids listen to, and a baby shower food draft where we only get four picks and everybody argues like it's the playoffs. Nostalgia takes over with a “somebody gotta get up for SpongeBob” debate, then we switch lanes into sports with Deshaun Watson talk, and relationships with a hypothetical poly lifestyle question that exposes double standards and the real emotional work people ignore. We wrap with our Mount Rushmore of white celebrities Black people don't play about, a viral “White Boy Craig” moment, an R&B Verzuz breakdown of Joe vs Donnell Jones, and a final Hot Thoughts detour that brings Comic Con and voice actors back into the mix. If you laughed, disagreed, or felt personally attacked by the food picks, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review.

Barrett Gruber and Donald Brock sit down for a post-Soda City Comic Con debrief that covers the highs, the surprises, and what comes next — then takes a few unexpected turns through pinball legislation, water resource management, and tributes to two genuine pop culture icons.The episode opens with a full recap of Soda City Comic Con — what worked, what surprised them, and the behind-the-scenes reality of pulling off a community event of this scale. Brock, as coordinator, brings the insider perspective on both the successes and the challenges, and the pair look ahead to future event planning and potential expansion strategies for the con's next chapter.From there the conversation takes a genuinely fascinating detour into the history of pinball legislation — the fact that pinball was legally classified as a game of chance and banned in many jurisdictions for decades is the kind of local legislative quirk that perfectly illustrates how arbitrary lawmaking can be. The discussion connects naturally to broader infrastructure and water resource conversations, with Barrett and Brock making the case that water management is one of the most underrated policy issues facing South Carolina and the country. As Brock puts it simply: "water is the most precious resource."The episode closes with warm tributes to Dolly Parton and Tim Curry — two icons whose cultural footprints are enormous and whose humanity comes through in every story told about them.Topics Covered:Soda City Comic Con recap and behind-the-scenes insightsFuture event planning and expansion strategiesPinball legislation history and gaming law reformWater resource management and infrastructure in South CarolinaLocal legislative changes and their impact on communityTribute to Dolly Parton and her cultural legacyTribute to Tim Curry and his iconic careerSouth Carolina voting and political updatesSoda City Comic Con in Columbia, SCBarrett Gruber | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeCoastal Comic Con in Wilmington, NC - 2025Click here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.

Message Dan and MikeGlengarry Glen Ross turns 34 this year, and we're finally giving David Mamet's Pulitzer Prize-winning play its due on the show. James Foley's 1992 film adaptation brings together an absolutely stacked cast — Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, and Alan Arkin — for the story of four desperate real estate salesmen pitted against each other in a brutal sales contest. We dig into how this film actually came together, including the fascinating parallel between Pacino championing this project the same way Sean Penn championed Foley's At Close Range, and how Pacino personally scouted Kevin Spacey on Broadway for the role of Williamson. We also talk through the casting history of Shelley "The Machine" Levene, a role that nearly went in a very different direction before Jack Lemmon delivered one of the great performances of his career.We get into why the film's most famous scene — the one everyone quotes — wasn't even in Mamet's original play, and why we think the "sales" angle is honestly the least interesting theme once you dig into what this movie is really about. We also trace the play's legacy through its Broadway revivals, from Joe Mantegna's original Tony-winning run as Ricky Roma, through the 2015 revival that brought Pacino back to the stage alongside Bobby Cannavale, all the way to 2025's star-studded cast.Before we get into the film, we open with a story about a very ill-fated car-buying negotiation involving a local salesman, and we close things out with a confession about how we got worked over by a couple of very skilled salesmen on the streets of San Diego during Comic-Con. Fair warning: this one earns its language warning, but we'd argue it's essential viewing regardless. If you take one recommendation from us all year, make it this one.Support the showOh Brother Podcast:Support the Show!

Artist's Alley Aftermath : Soda City Comic Con 2026 Hector reflects on meaningful interactions at his first Columbia con, and also tasty snacks and coffee

The Interviews returns this week with a jam-packed show, as Chris Hewitt sits down at Comic-Con in San Diego with, after a delayed start, Mason Thames (and yes, we have learned how to pronounce his surname) and Lee Kirk (ditto), star and director respectively of Nimrods: A Green Day Comedy about music, movies, and heart. Then Chris pops onto Zoom to have a natter with Adam Shankman, director of ZAZ-style spoof, Stop! That! Train!, and wind up talking about the time Shankman officiated Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr's wedding, and directors' God complexes. And finally Becky Darke makes his Empire Podcast interview debut by talking on Zoom to Sam Spruell, who's terrifying audiences worldwide right now as the villain of the latest Insidious movie, Out Of The Further. Enjoy!

No pithy exclamation this week, because we are too angry. While #Gamergate easily warrants an entire long-form investigative podcast all on its own, Emily did a fantastic job condensing it down to one infuriating hour for V. We look at both the surface and underlying reasons behind the reactionary far-right gamer movement, as well as its continuing fallout and the ways that it has irrevocably changed the entire modern world.

Fencing is one of the oldest sports in Olympic history. It's also one of the least watched domestically. Phil Andrews, CEO of USA Fencing, is on a mission to change that, and with the 2028 Los Angeles Games on the horizon, he's running out of time. Andrews joins Rapid Response to reveal how he's building a sports brand with almost no budget and no marketing playbook, cold-calling CMOs, crashing Comic-Con, and convincing Snoop Dogg and Flavor Flav to pick up a sword. He also explains why he banded together five niche sports into a collective to take on sponsors as a group, and how the sport's unlikely Hollywood connections are becoming its greatest marketing asset. A masterclass in scrappy brand building for anyone competing against bigger, better-funded opponents.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Cartoonist Fran Sundblad, creator of Tiff & Eve, joins Brad for a wide-ranging conversation about creating character-driven comics, finding an audience on Reddit, and learning when not to chase the algorithm. Fran traces Tiff & Eve from its beginnings in her sketchbook to a comic that regularly reaches thousands of readers. She explains how Tiff and Eve represent two very different impulses — Tiff as the superego and Eve as the id — and shares a terrific character-development exercise: Lock your character in a room and ask what they do next. If you don't know the answer, you probably don't know the character well enough yet. Fran and Brad also talk about finding humor in the characters themselves rather than building every strip around a traditional punchline. That approach has helped Tiff & Eve explore Fran's experiences as a trans woman while remaining first and foremost a funny comic about two friends. In this episode: How Tiff & Eve grew out of Fran's sketchbook Writing two characters as opposing parts of your own personality Fran's “locked room” test for determining whether a character is fully developed Character-driven humor vs. setup/punchline comedy Using comedy to make personal experiences relatable What happens when readers interpret your comics differently than you intended Why Fran refuses to explain a joke Surviving hostile comments, Reddit Cares abuse, and the stranger side of online audiences Why cartoonists should post comics to their Reddit profile, not only to individual subreddits Learning the culture of each subreddit instead of treating Reddit as one giant audience Formatting comics differently for different communities — including designing images so Reddit's mobile crop doesn't hide important information Why fewer clicks usually means more readers The danger of chasing trends, politics, and viral Reddit “meta” events simply for upvotes Why a huge viral hit may produce surprisingly few new followers or Patreon supporters Why effort and artistic complexity don't necessarily translate into social-media success The value of clarity, brevity, and consistency on Reddit Knowing when a topical comic is nevertheless necessary because it's true to the characters Sunday Comix, a webcomic collective and email newsletter designed to help cartoonists reach readers without depending entirely on social-media algorithms Fran's experience offers an especially useful reminder for cartoonists trying to build an audience online: don't confuse attention with audience growth. A trendy comic might earn tens of thousands of upvotes, but the work that builds a lasting readership is the work that gives people a reason to come back for your characters.

Barrett Gruber and Donald Brock are back with a pre-Comic Con episode that covers celebrity prep, South Carolina political races, US-China relations, and gym routines — because that's just how this show works.The episode opens with event logistics and a heads-up that VIP tickets for Soda City Comic Con are nearly sold out. If you've been on the fence, Barrett and Brock make a compelling case for why this year's lineup is worth it — headlined by Peter Weller, best known for Robocop and the beloved cult classic Buckaroo Banzai. The pair dive into Weller's career, the enduring appeal of Buckaroo Banzai's oddball universe, and behind-the-scenes stories from preparing for celebrity panels that are equal parts logistical challenge and genuine fun. The Oreos story alone is worth the runtime.A tribute to Hayden Pinteri adds a meaningful moment to the episode, honoring her legacy and what she meant to the community.The political conversation covers South Carolina's attorney general race, congressional seats worth watching, and a genuinely interesting detour into US-China relations and the strategic importance of Taiwan — a foreign policy discussion that connects global dynamics to local political stakes. State representation and the structure of US politics round out the political segment before the episode closes with personal fitness anecdotes and upcoming event promotions.Topics Covered:Soda City Comic Con ticket updates and nearly sold-out VIP accessPeter Weller's appearance and his career in Robocop and Buckaroo BanzaiBehind-the-scenes celebrity panel prep and storiesThe cult following of Buckaroo BanzaiTribute to Hayden Pinteri and her legacySouth Carolina attorney general race and congressional candidatesUS-China relations and the strategic importance of TaiwanUS state representation and political structurePersonal fitness anecdotes and gym routinesUpcoming event promotions and show schedule updatesSoda City Comic Con in Columbia, SCBarrett Gruber | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeSoda City Comic Con | InstagramSoda City Comic Con | FacebookClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.

We don't want to know your favorite Ninja Turtle. We want to know which Ninja Turtle is you. Which Ninja Turtle best represents your personality and behavior? Not everyone is comfortable answering the question, but Matthew Rosenberg gives it a go in our recent conversation at San Diego Comic-Con International, after a little nudge/encouragement. Matt Rosenberg will take over writing duties on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #25, after Gene Luen Yang and Fero Pe wrap up their current “City That Never Dies” storyline. Rosenberg is on a hot streak, writing both Spawn and King Spawn, as well as If Destruction Be Our Lot. Not to forget the eagerly anticipated cinematic adaptation of 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank hitting screens next year. He's the third writer to tackle the monthly Ninja Turtle series in three years, and he promises to bring a unique perspective to our favorite mutant brothers. First, his Turtles are going to war, and it's going to take them down nearly every New York City street. Streets Rosenberg knows exceptionally well as someone raised on them. Secondly, Rosenberg is a diehard Turtle fanatic, and he's been plotting possibilities for these characters since he was twelve or so. This week's podcast is our final 2026 San Diego Comic-Con episode. As we've done over the last few weeks, we've invited another podcaster onto the show to help us broaden our con coverage perspective. Today, we have Chris Hacker, co-host of The Oblivion Bar. Hacker found his way to Comic-Con only through the power of the comic book community, and we needed to take a moment to celebrate. Comic book people can get a bad rap, especially online, but Hacker's story shows the beauty that fellowship makes possible.

Usher, unfortunately, recently brought a wet blanket on stage with him. The Grand Haven dad that killed his entire family was prone to sleeping with interns. A new Nolan Wells video dropped that explains nothing, but definitely proves he was killed by his white friends in the minds of some on the internet Karl from WATP joins the show to laugh at Stuttering John Melendez on the 'Sternlywed Game', MLC & Chad Zumock respond to our criticism, promote the new Anthony and Jim Show, and more.
