Podcast appearances and mentions of eric ratcliffe

We have a lot of really great cast members on The 42cast, so after episode 100 and the conversations we had, we thought it would be good if we interviewed members of the cast. First up is Eric Ratcliffe. Eric is a podcaster, webcomic writer, and all-around geek. He and I will discuss his podcast... The post The 42cast Episode 140: The Eric Ratcliffe Interview appeared first on The 42cast.

This episode I was looking to do something to attempt to remove the negative image that is being shown on a special area of the nerdom. Cosplay has gotten some pretty bad publicity over the past few years. That I wanted to take some time and talk to cosplayers and find out what got them into cosplay. I am joined by Eric Ratcliffe, Autumn Ivy, and Asuma Jon. And each interview was done individually to let each person shine.

This week, your host who only knows what he's doing about half the time, Eric Ratcliffe originally recorded a Doctor Who specific episode with Gordon Dymowski and Jeremy Wiggins where it was a 90 minute spectacular of nerd knowledge.
