Here we go again!In today's episode, co-hosts Alex Simmons and Christopher Ryan are joined by acclaimed comic book artist Eric Battle for an in-depth, wide-ranging conversation brimming with heart, honesty, and humor.From Eric's earliest memories of being transfixed by comics on the spinner rack as a six-year-old, to the pressures and passions of telling powerful, real-world stories on the page, this interview is both a roadmap for aspiring artists and a celebration of where creativity and impact intersect. You'll hear about Eric's battles (pun intended!) to find his voice in industries slow to accept comics as art, his leap from illustrating for newspapers to making his mark at DC, the emotional toll of tackling the graphic novel about Emmett Till, and how balance comes from everything from bike rides to—yes—baking epic cookies.Along the way, there are throwbacks to Eric and Alex's Tarzan/Blackjack crossover, deep dives into hidden chapters of American history, and tributes to the inspirational giants upon whose shoulders they stand. Whether you're a writer, artist, or passionate about storytelling, this episode offers hard-won wisdom, vulnerability, and plenty of laughter.So settle in for a moving, motivating, and mouthwatering conversation—we're talking cookies after all! This is one creative journey you won't want to miss.Have any questions, comments, or suggestions?Then please leave them in the Comments Section.Write: TTDSOnAir@gmail.comAnd follow us on ...⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.TellTheDamnStory.comwww.Facebook.com/Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TTDSonYouTubeIf you're enjoying these episodes, take a moment to help wet our whistle and click on the link to ... ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠!⁠⁠⁠⁠

Like the saying goes, "better late than never", the Camerosity Podcast is back with Episode 91, which is dedicated to cameras of the 90s.  Which 90s you prefer, 1890s or 1990s, all 90s cameras are welcome! Joining Anthony, Paul, Theo, Stephen, and Mike are returning callers, AJ Gentile, Ira Cohen, Miles Libak, Nick Marshall, Robert Rotoloni, and Will Pinkham and we cover a wide range of 1990s cameras and technologies.  Paul starts off with some stories about mini labs and how single use cameras became a big thing.  We dive into bridge cameras, including the Olympus IS-2 which Mike gave rave remarks to. We discuss a large number of point and shoot cameras including premium models by Nikon and Konica, and ponder why the Olympus Stylus Epic is so popular today.  We talk about some dead end technologies from the 90s such as Minolta's ill fated Creative Expansion and Canon's obscure barcode scanner for the EOS 10S. Not all technologies from the 1990s were failures though as the 1990s was the first decade of digital cameras.  Models like the floppy disc Sony Mavica and Nikon D1 were great cameras with a historical significance which helped prove that digital photography had arrived. We round out the discussion with why Theo loves the Mamiya 7 so much and how it compares to the Mamiya 6, Robert shares some info on the development of the Nikon S3 2000 edition, and we have a thorough discussion on Kyocera's Contax SLRs. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, and right here on mikeeckman.com. We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. For our next episode, we decided to explore the Italian camera industry as its not often discussed in camera collector circles.  While Germany, Japan, the Soviet Union, and the United States were well known as makers of fine cameras, a great number of really cool cameras were made in Italy such as the Rectaflex, Ducati Sogno, Gamma II, and other models by Bencini, Durst, and Ferrania.  Join us if you're a fan of cameras from this "boot shaped" country, and see if we can manage to fill an entire episode without getting distracted!  We will record Episode 92 on Monday, May 19th at 7pm Central Daylight Time and 8pm Eastern Daylight Time. In This Episode Jeff and Gabe Can't Pronounce French Names / Alan Peres Sends Us Emails Now Sometimes Its Hard to Remember That We Like Cameras from the 1990s The 1990s Was the Decade of the MiniLab and Single Use Disposable Cameras Olympus Invested Heavily in Point and Shoots in the late 1980s In the 1990s, Olympus Gave Up on Traditional SLRs and Created the IS-Series Olympus IS-2 / In the 90s Zoom Reach was Over Valued By Novices Why Are the Olympus Stylus Epics so Expensive? / µ[mju:]-II Nikon F5 Improvements Over the F4 / Paul Really Hates the Nikon N70 The Nikon N90/F90 Was Nikons Best Semi-Pro SLR of the 1990s Broken Battery and Film Doors Were a Huge Problem Back Then The Nikon 28Ti and 35Ti Are Impressive Cameras but Terrible Investments 1990s Underwater Cameras / How Many People Kept Shooting 80s Cameras in the 90s? Contax S2 and Other 1990s Contax SLRs / Contax S2 and ST Mike Likes the Contax RTS II and the Contax RX / Large Contaxes Like the N1 and AX The Minolta Maxxum 600si/650si Has Mechanical Knobs and is Awesome / Minolta Maxxum 9xi Minolta's Horrible Creative Expansion Cards / Disabling Features on Consumer SLRs / Canon Barcode Scanning System The Canon EOS-1n RS / Pellicle Mirrors / Canon EOS A2E / Canon's Eye Control System Premium Point and Shoots / Konica Hexar AF / Canon Elph Theo Loves the Mamiya 7 / Mamiya 6 / Everyone's First 110 Camera Nikon Started Working on the S3 2000 in the 1990s / Differences Between the 2000 and Original S3 Sony Floppy Mavica Cameras / Nikon D1 Alfred C. Kemper Kombi from the 1890s / Theo's 1890s Australian Studio Cameras Advanced Photo System (APS) Film and Cameras / Kodak Advantix Preview Links The Camerosity Podcast is now on Discord!

This is a live chat with a lovely lady named April who was both a neighbor and a fellow church member of Lori Vallow's when she was married to Charles Vallow. April knew the Vallows for seven years, and her experiences with Lori and Charles as well as Tylee and JJ are fascinating to hear.

Is AI A Writing Digital Revolution or Deal With The Devil?In this podcast, hosts Alex Simmons and Chris Ryan dig into the hotly debated role of AI in the creative process. From using tools like ChatGPT and Descript for research and editing, to the ethical gray areas of letting AI generate content, the conversation gets candid—and sometimes contentious—about where writers should draw the line.Alex shares his hands-on experiments using AI to streamline podcast production and spark social media posts, while Chris raises critical questions about authenticity and artistic integrity. Together, they weigh the practical benefits of AI—think saving time on editing and organizing content—against deeper concerns of originality, creative voice, and fairness. Whether you're an AI disciple, skeptic, or curious about digital tools, this episode offers thoughtful insights and real-world examples to help you decide how (or if) AI fits into your writing practice. Seeking answers to these questions is so crucial that Alex and Chris invite you, the listener, to weigh in on your position in this rapidly evolving conversation. Express your opinions in the comments or take a quick poll.Now grab a seat—and maybe your own pitchfork—and join the debate as we navigate the opportunities and pitfalls of AI for writers, always with an eye toward telling the damn story.Have any questions, comments, or suggestions?Then please leave them in the Comments Section.Write: TTDSOnAir@gmail.comAnd follow us on ...⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.TellTheDamnStory.comwww.Facebook.com/Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TTDSonYouTubeIf you're enjoying these episodes, take a moment to help wet our whistle and click on the link to ... ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠!⁠⁠⁠⁠

Brandon Boudreaux was nearly unalived on October 2nd of 2019. Thankfully, he narrowly missed the grim reaper. Unfortunately for Brandon, he was connected to Lori Vallow Daybell and her brother, Alex Cox, through his then-wife, Melani.In today's video, I share what led up to this shocking crime and who was seemingly in on the crime, allegedly. Let's examine Melani Boudreaux, now Pawlowski's, behavior in the days leading up to the attack on Brandon and post the attack. It is yet another chapter in the cray-cray unholy story of Lori and Chad Daybell and Alex Cox.I hope this video prepares you for Lori Vallow Daybell's next trial in Arizona for the attempt on Brandon Boudreaux's life.#lorivallow #loridaybelltrial #chaddaybell #brandonboudreaux #melaniboudreaux #doomsdaymom #trial #asmr #breakingnews #breaking  #truecrime #idaho #moscowidaho #kayleegoncalves #madisonmogen #ethanchapin #xanakernodle #moscowstudentmurders #idahostudentmurders #moscowhomicides  #truecrimeunsolved #truecrimeunsolvedCONTACT INFORMATIONContact Email: tofbedcrimestories@gmail.comHOW TO SUPPORT MY CHANNELYour options include:1.

As sometimes happens in the wonderful world of social media content creation, "the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray" we had plans to record Episode 90 back in March, but a variety of unfortunate and unrelated happenstances occurred which resulted in a short hiatus for recording.  We had planned on making Episode 90 a show all about Cameras of the 90s, but we had also wanted Episode 91 to be recorded with two special guests, so we were forced to do things out of order. Thankfully, the obstacles which caused our six week break didn't interfere with us sitting down with Jeff Greenstein and Gabe Sachs from the I Dream of Cameras podcast.  For those of you who are familiar with their show, you'll know that Jeff has a fondness for Alpa cameras, so this unofficially doubles as our first and probably only Alpa episode. After some short introductions, we refer back to a fun comparison between the two podcasts written by listener John Kelly and both hosts give our reactions to some of his funny answers.  We cover a variety of cameras that we all love and shoot, along with Jeff's deep dive into why he loves the Alpa 11si so much. Gabe shares a story of how he's had to rebuild his camera collection from scratch after losing it when his home burned down in the Palisades wild fires that ravaged Los Angeles earlier this year.  We ponder why the Hasselblad XPan can't get repaired anymore and what other cameras are on the verge of being unrepairable.  Mike shares three very different Alpas in his collection and shares what he likes and doesn't like about all three, Anthony shares his thoughts on a new (to him) Fuji camera he recently bought, and Paul talks about his plans for traveling to Ireland later this spring. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, and right here on mikeeckman.com. We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. As promised two episodes ago, we still want to do a Cameras of the 90s episode, but this time it will have to be Episode 91.  Finally, Theo will get a chance to talk about his beloved Mamiya 7, but in addition to that there were many other terrific cameras from that decade like the Nikon N90s and the premium 28Ti and 35Ti point and shoots, the Contax AX, and the Olympus µ[mju:]-II.  In addition to terrific film cameras, the 1990s was the first decade with a large number of digital cameras like the Minolta RD-175 and Nikon D1.  We will record Episode 91 on Monday, May 5th at 7pm Central Daylight Time and 8pm Eastern Daylight Time.

 This week, I was lucky enough to attend the Lori Vallow Daybell, and in today's video, I want to share some info that I learned while talking to various people who knew Lori back in the day.I also want to touch on why there is reason to believe Lori and her brother, Alex Cox, may have worked together to "unalive" her third husband, Joe Ryan.If so, I hope law enforcement will take another look into that after Lori's trial for the attempt on Brandon Boudreaux's life.#lorivallow #lorivallowdaybell #charlesvallow #chaddaybell #tyleeryan #colbyryan #doomsdaymom #joeryan #josephryan #anniecushing #idaho #arizona#truecrime #idaho #moscowidaho #kayleegoncalves #madisonmogen #ethanchapin #xanakernodle #moscowstudentmurders #idahostudentmurders #moscowhomicides  #truecrimeunsolved #truecrimeunsolvedCONTACT INFORMATIONContact Email: tofbedcrimestories@gmail.comHOW TO SUPPORT MY CHANNELYour options include:1.

A topic that we've lightly touched upon in previous episode, but never dared devote an entire episode to is the taboo subject of repairing your own cameras.  There are those who firmly believe all repairs should be left to the capable hands of professionals, but there are others who have no problem with opening their own cameras and trying it out themselves. If you're in the latter group and are interested to hear some tips and tricks from those of us who have been brave/foolish enough to try it, Episode 89 is all about repairing your own cameras.  Joining Paul, Stephen, Theo, and Mike are returning callers A.J. Gentile, Alyssa Micha, Andrew Reynolds, Christopher Wells, John Michael Mendizza, Keir Frei, Larry Effler, Pat Casey, Rafael Espinoza, Ray Nason, Wayne Scheipers, and Will Pinkham who all share their own experiences. We cover a wide range of topics, starting with what you can and cannot repair on a Kodak Medalist and whether you can still send your Leicas to the factory in Wetzlar to get repaired.  Hear who we think makes a good set of JIS screwdrivers, lens spanners, and Mike recommends a rubber grippy tool.  We share our recommendations for cleaning cameras, getting sticky residue off film doors, replacing mirror bumpers and foam light seals, how not to clean a reflex mirror, what works on lenses and what not to use.  We even cover the taboo topic of washing your camera in the dishwasher! Although there is very little GAS in this episode, we do get into a few model specific camera repairs.  Alyssa Micha shares with us her beautiful 1903 Kodak camera which had moldy bellows and what she needed to do to replace them.  We talk about how to and how not to fix the infamous Canon Squeal of the Canon AE-1 and A-1 cameras, along with how to deal with the sticky backs of the Nikon N80 and N90, Mike talks about a product he used to mold a custom hand grip for his Minolta 650si. We talk about various cleaners, when and when not to use lighter fluid, acetone, glass cleaner, and for the love of God, please never use WD-40 on any camera!  Although this whole episode is about home repairs and cleaning, we end the show talking about how best to take care of your camera to minimize its chances of never needing to be repaired, how to deal with humidity, and whether or not to store your cameras in their original leather cases. Meet Anthony, Paul, and Mike: If you are in the vicinity of Cincinnati, Ohio on Saturday, March 22nd, come to the Ohio Camera Swap at the Hilton Garden Inn Cincinnati/West Chester and say hi to us.  Who knows, maybe even some other Camerosity Podcast regulars will show up as well.  While you're there, maybe you can buy something from us! As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, and right here on mikeeckman.com. We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. Our next episode will be number 90, and like we've done for episodes 70 and 80, we will be devoting the show to cameras of that decade.  For Episode 90, we will discuss cameras of the 1990s (or 1890s for that matter)!  Finally, Theo will get a chance to talk about his beloved Mamiya 7, but in addition to that there were many other terrific cameras from that decade like the Nikon N90s and the premium 28Ti and 35Ti point and shoots, the Contax AX, and the Olympus µ[mju:]-II.  In addition to terrific film cameras, the 1990s was the first decade with a large number of digital cameras like the Minolta RD-175 and Nikon D1.  We will record Episode 90 on Monday, March 24th at 7pm Central Daylight Time and 8pm Eastern Daylight Time. (Note that Daylight Savings Time started in North America on Sunday, March 9th, so be sure to check your local time if you plan on joining the show!)
