Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future. Space Empress Lilandra has been abducted by space terrorists! Miles Stokes of Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-Men joins our host Lodro Rinzler to kick off Season 2 of the podcast where the Brood show up and brought comical guns for everyone. Also in this episode we answer such questions as: If you have a secret dad does your friend have to tell you? Is there a better band name than Deathbird? How old is Cyclops? Who are the better houseguests: the Marauders or the Reavers? Other topics include: the X-Men vacation at Magnetos beach house a.k.a Octopusheim the Shiar SUCK Kitty Pryde helps Prof X with his AOL Tigra isn't the Avenger you want...she's the Avenger available ...and Miles defends Hot Bird! We mean Angel, sorry. Angel. What does any of this have to do with Miles' future? Tune in to find out! Twenty years ago, Miles carefully placed his psychology degree in a drawer and went to work IT because it was way easier. These days, he lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife Anna and fixes broken things for a non-mutant-related comic-book publisher while surrounding himself with as much geekery as time allows. For the last decade, he's x-plained the retcons, clones, and time travel of the X-Men franchise alongside Jay Edidin on their truly fantastic podcast Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men. Buy him a drink and he'll spend the next two hours telling you about how Chris Claremont made him a feminist and that come on, guys, Gambit's '90s costume isn't that bad. More of Lodro Rinzler's work can be found here and here and you can follow the podcast on Instagram at xmenpanelsdaily where we post X-Men comic panels...daily.

HOST, CRISTINA MACAYA: This morning, the city council debated the 2025 budget for health, mental health, disability, and addiction. An hour before the hearing, protestors gathered on Chambers Street to rally against what they say is the criminalization of mental illness. Giulia Leo was there. LEO 1 From the age of 17 until her early 40s Helen “Skip” Skipper says she cycled in and out of jail SKIPPER 1 Every year I was locked up or getting released. But every year I came in with unchecked mental illness, with substance abuse problems. I was never given treatment. I was never given support LEO 2 Skip says she was an addict who sold drugs. And because she didn't get the support she needed, she continued to break the law… and to get arrested. SKIPPER 2 Mental illness, behavioral health as a whole has always been criminalized. Instead of providing us treatment and support, they throw us up under the jail. LEO 3 Today, Skip is joined by a crowd of dozens rallying outside City Hall. [FADE IN “CHANTING” AND RUN UNDER LEO 3] They are asking the City to invest in community support for people with mental illnesses - rather than spending money on more beds for jails. Jay Edidin is with The Women's Community Justice Association. He says the city's justice system is broken and women are the most impacted. EDIDIN 1 So this is happening at a time when the incarceration of women is increasing at double the rate of the incarceration of men, where it's just taken off exponentially over the last decade. Nationwide, 70% of women involved in the criminal legal system have mental health diagnosis. At Rikers Island that's actually 80%. LEO 4 As an alternative to incarceration, Edidin would like to see more programs offering peer support. Skip agrees. She's working towards a phD in criminology. SKIPPER 3 Peer support is an evidence based practice. It has been empirically researched to work. Use us, allow us to have a seat at the table. Your recidivism problems and costs problems of those with behavioral health will be mitigated. LEO 5 Skipper says she got help. Not from the city. But she did manage to get clean. SKIPPER 4 And I haven't looked back ever since then. LEO 6 Giulia Leo, Columbia Radio News

He's best known as one of the hosts of Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men .

As we begin our final rotation around the glowing sun that is Secret Wars, Al is joined once more by special guests Jay Edidin and Paul O'Brien to talk about issue #9 of the series. That means an extensive breakdown of Colossus's choice of boots, Iron Man's new high-tech dodging software, and the deep emotional thoughts of Reed Richards. Oh, and they explore Galactus's eating habits too, for good measure.   The War Effort is produced by the immensely talented Dave Bulmer, who you can follow on Twitter here.

We interview writer and editor Jay Edidin about his comics X-Men: Marvels Snapshots and Captain America: Infinity, as well as his zine Ruby Quartz Panic Room, getting into the representation of neurodivergence and queer and trans identities, the White Supremacist appropriation of history, and the pitfalls of bothsidesism. We also cover such hard-hitting topics as: how Wolverine would handle Zoom meetings, whether Cyclops' skill with geometry is related to his mutant gene, and how Cap feels about unions.Learn more about Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-Men at: xplainthexmen.com and @XplaintheXmen on Twitter and Tumblr (link goes to Twitter)Follow Jay Edidin at: @NotLasers on TwitterYou can follow Bitches on Comics on Instagram and Twitter @BitchesOnComics and you can follow our hosts: Sara Century: @saracentury (Instagram and Twitter), S.E.

I'm not going to dance around it. This is a story that needs to be told right now. In so many ways the world is going to shit. And sadly part of that seems to be comic characters being twisted in the minds of people in ways that fit the exact opposite of what the character actually represents. I can't think of anyone better to have written this story and to talk about it than Jay Edidin. Listen in as we talk about the wild ride that the Captain America story from Marvel's new Marvel Unlimited exclusive Infinity Comics line took to come into existence. Learn such things as: When was this one written? How does a primarily X-Men writer get tagged to write Captain America? Should you surprise pitch your comic idea on a podcast? And so much more!

Episode Notes Jay Edidin of "Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men" joins us to discuss the X-Men/Doctor Doom '98 Annual, "Victor Von Doom and the Mystery of Where Babies Come From," the peculiar beard of the Onslaught homunculus, Jean Grey's spotty memory of her Antarctic adventure, what was happening just off-panel while Wolverine was getting eviscerated in "Days of Future Past," the career hazards of seers, and Magneto-clone Joseph's status as a twunk.

This Friday we'll have Jay Edidin in the house, which can mean only one thing - It's time to X-Plain Ginger Snaps!

X-Pert podcaster Jay Edidin wrote his 1st Marvel comic X-Men: Marvels Snapshots, and I love it! So of course I had him on my show to talk about the obvious topics like DC Comics, Victorian Literature, and Fun Home. And yes, of course, his take on Cyclops in this highly personal yet accessible comic. You can hear Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-men at https://www.xplainthexmen.com/ and read his tweets at https://twitter.com/NotLasers.  He's been on Graphic Policy Radio before to talk about stopping harassment and abuse in the comics industry: https://bit.ly/cmxjustice and Punisher Season 2, http://bit.ly/Punish2

In CEREBRO's first CROSSOVER EVENT, Connor and Jay Edidin of Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men (also writer of the recent X-Men: Marvels Snapshots) have an eye-opening chat about Scott Summers, a.k.a. Cyclops! A polarizing character, "Slim" has provoked strong opinions since 1963. The CEREBRO character file on Cyclops begins at 30:04. (Content Advisory: Scott's story includes child abuse at an orphanage, eugenics, suicide of other characters, and references to enslavement and implied rape of other characters. This episode also discusses disability politics.) The episode cover features art of Cyclops by Jack Kirby, Dave Cockrum, Walt Simonson, Jim Lee, Frank Quitely, Chris Bachalo, and Leinil Francis Yu. Some links to work mentioned by Jay on this week's episode: The Essential Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men Episode 287: Welcome to the Age of Apocalypse, designed as a jumping-on point for newbies to Jay & Miles. Ruby Quartz Panic Room, a fanzine about Cyclops and neurodivergence.

Jay Edidin is half of the podcast Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-Men (“because it’s about time someone did”). He writes comics, short fiction, and narrative nonfiction; and edits comics, transmedia, and genre fiction. Jay was named comicbook.com's 2017 Comics Person of the Year for his investigative coverage of harassment issues at D.C. Comics and his work to foster diversity and inclusion in comics culture. Tea Fougner is the Editorial Director for Comics at King Features Syndicate. When she's not reading comics for work, she's reading comics for fun, drawing comics, dressing up as comic book characters, or watching comic adaptations on television. Graphic Policy (& guests) loved Netflix Punisher S1. Now here's our take on Season 2... We X-Plain: Joker and Harley Quinn, Netflix styleWhich Wolverine sidekick is Amy?The Skull Vs The MaskWhen You Name Your Episode After Batman: The Killing JokeHow Punisher shops for hot dog rollsComparisons to Mrs. Dalloway and Assault on Precinct 13“Curtis deserves better than the universe he’s stuck in, or any of the people he interacts with.”Punisher comics recommendations and warnings

From comics for kids to adults-only graphic novels, from superheroes-- Marvel, DC, Valiant and Lion Forge-- to creator-owned Twisted Romance, from slice of life to horror, we read A LOT of comics in 2018. Here are some our favorites!  Bilal Shelby is a non-binary writer who focuses on queerness in historical and speculative fiction.   Alex K Cossa is a contributor to Graphic Policy, a lover of Valiant Comics, and a co-host of Those Two Geeks. Steven Attewell writes about the intersection of history, politics, and pop culture in The People’s History of the Marvel Universe for Graphic Policy. In his day job, He teaches public policy at CUNY’s Murphy Institute for Labor Studies. He is the founder of Race for the Iron Throne. (A must read for Game of Thrones fans)! We cover Batman, Fence!, loving everything by Vita Ayala, Saladin Ahmed & Gillen/McKelvie, The Rise of the Black Panther, X-Men miniseries, Giant Days, Tomas Giorello and Chris Priest are BACK, the wholesomest queerest OGN for kids and why Jay Edidin is IRL hero of the year and MUCH more. And how to pronounce the K at the end of Ninjak.  

I've switched to a fortnightly episode schedule for a while, so it's a bonus episode with writer, editor and podcaster Jay Edidin. Along the way, we discuss living up the road from your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man, the right age to see Pulp Fiction, and the small perfect things that can be found in terrible, terrible films.Follow Jay on Twitter at @RaeBeta , follow the show at @TheMathOfYou, and my wacky adventures at @lokified.

Miles is one half, along with Jay Edidin, of the outstanding “Jay and Miles X-plain the X-men” podcast which explores the ins and outs of the increasingly convoluted and incredibly hard-to-follow X-Men comic book universe. Since Marvel and DC are basically the Bulfinches and Aesops of the modern age, understanding the stories and their impacts on our culture is becoming increasingly important and Jay and Miles do a beyond amazing job of helping us unravel their stories in a fun and incredibly well-produced way. Miles and I talk about facial hair and how unfair that he has locks for days and I look like a newborn baby. We then move on to less important topics like gun control and whatnot. Stuart reveals that he totally accosted both Jay and Miles in line at “Fantastic Planet”. We talk a lot about comics because of course we do, and finally talk a little about his and Jay’s story, transformations, being sex-positive, and overall really interesting and good stuff!

This time we live in is a feast of audio storytelling. You can find a podcast for any interest, from Harry Potter to stories of death-defying survival, and it turns out Oregon is a hotbed of homemade shows. In fact, several enterprising producers have joined forces to host the first-ever Portland Podcast Festival on Dec. 2 at the Hawthorne Theater.We’re taking this as an opportunity to talk to them about their shows, and to spotlight some more of our favorites made in Oregon. On this week’s episode:Minority Retort - 1:30Jason Lamb’s morning drive drops as part of the XRAY-FM feed feature conversations that reflect what’s going on in communities of color — often featuring stand-up artists Lamb’s met hosting the monthly “Minority Retort” comedy showcase. Funemployment Radio - 5:31Greg Nibler and Sarah X Dylan have chops honed by years in the trenches of terrestrial radio. But when they turned their powers to podcasting, freed from the constraints of 3-5 minute breaks, their creativity found a fifth gear. Voted Portland’s Best Podcast in the Willamette Week's 2016 and 2017 Readers’ Polls, Funemployment Radio tackles all kinds of subjects, but shines brightest on the weird stuff.Roam Schooled - 13:58Musician, sound engineer, and producer Jim Brunberg is best known to music fans around Portland as the founder and co-owner of two iconic venues: Mississippi Studios and Revolution Hall. But this side project, undertaken with his twin 8-year-old daughters, is an audio odyssey. Brunberg and the girls hit the road and interview everyone from the governor of Oregon to gun shop owners and Big Foot experts, as they explore big (and sometimes silly) issues, like death, the Second Amendment, fear, memory, and more, under the guiding principle: “Let’s go find out.” While the touchstone from each episode are questions from the girls, this podcast is one for the grown-ups.Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-Men - 23:34In 2014, Jay Edidin and Miles Stokes launched a grand experiment to tease out one of the most confusing — and compelling — storylines in comics: the saga of the X-Men, a group of outsider superheroes, mostly hated and feared by humanity. Taking on all the storylines, duplicate backstories, and alternate universe complications in order was no small task, but they ultimately took an even thornier storyline to unravel in their own lives. We love the podcast for their ultra-brainy takes and intensive research on the publishing history and the sheer glee they derive from Marvel’s intricate superhero soap-opera.Outside Podcast - 35:47Gorgeous production values and edge-of-your-seat storytelling are the hallmarks of this podcast offshoot from "Outside Magazine." Whether telling harrowing survival stories (getting cast adrift at sea, getting struck by lightening, getting treed by a jaguar, oh my!), interviewing extreme athletes of all stripes, or wandering far and wide with stories of the natural world, Portland-based Robbie Carver and Peter Frick-Wright are laser-focused on bringing each episode home with a slam-dunk narrative clinch.

Just in time for LGBT Pride Month, this episode has us discussing LGBTQ+/QUILTBAG Non-Fiction books!
