Podcast appearances and mentions of Mike Read

In this inspiring episode of Best in Fest, host Leslie speaks with first-time filmmaker Tamar Springer about her powerful documentary More Than Santa Baby — a heartfelt tribute to her father, legendary composer Philip Springer. Known worldwide for penning the holiday classic "Santa Baby," Philip's influence goes far beyond that single hit, with songs recorded by Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, and many more.Tamar shares how her background in social work evolved into an unexpected filmmaking journey, sparked by a pandemic-era epiphany and fueled by a deep love for her father's astonishing legacy. From rare archival footage to interviews with UK music icons like Cliff Richard and Mike Read, this conversation dives into the making of a three-act documentary, the magic of the Brill Building era, and the enduring power of passion projects — no matter your age.

Matt and Mike (and Melissa) Read Comics is back with the Death of Captain Marvel. A classic Marvel tale featuring the not-so-heroic but oh-so-sad death of a namesake Marvel hero.

Welcome to wacky and zany world of The Goon! As usual, Mike came in with a killer recommendation that we just ate up. Like a fun old-timey monster flick except the monsters can also be mobsters and there's evil doctors. There are so many amazing classic storytelling elements just mashed into one here and we loved every single page.

Did you know that there is a comic book of the movie Wanted? Did you know that it's absolutely batshit in a completely different way than the movie is batshit? Well Matt and Mike Read Comics and on episode 24 we read the entire series of Wanted for you, so you don't have to. Listen in!

Episode 23 of Matt and Mike (and Melissa) Read Comics is a one-off from one of our favorite authors, Cullen Bunn. The Midnite Show. An homage to the midnight showing of horror movies of old, the story begins with legendary horror director Basil Saxon (best name ever) working on his magnum opus when a tragic fire destroys the production. The movie is, allegedly, never finished and lost to history. Until the present when what was thought to be lost footage has been found and is now being shown at a - you guessed it - midnight show! But the movie is cursed, and famed monsters of old start popping up in the real world and a group of civilians is stuck in the middle. Bodies drop EVERYWHERE. Just when you think you know who the main character, the hero, is - BOOM - fucking dead. Loved every panel of this book.

Recorded for release W/C 16th Dec 2024 This week we have Music from Billy J Kramer and Sarah McGuinness, News of Theatre at the Arena in Wolverhampton and Walsall's Grange Playhouse, Compton Care let us know about Treecycling, Mike Read tells us about the Heritage Chart Christmas TV show and Gavin Dell talks business with number crunching and Lead with Story.

Episode 22 of Matt and Mike (and Melissa) Read Comics dives into Joss Whedon's run on Astonishing X-Men. On the heels of Grant Morrison's bizarre, confusing, and often downright boring run on New X-Men, the camp and straightforward superhero storytelling of Joss Whedon was a true breath of fresh air. The classic yellow-and-blue themed suits are back. A new team is formed. A new villain arrives from another planet with a cryptic message about the power of a mutant destroying their homeworld. And on top of all of that, a “cure” for mutants. And…AND in a stroke of brilliant storytelling Whedon pulls off a move that has since been so reused that it almost feels stale, but when this book came out it was a truly remarkable comic moment - the return of Colossus. A character that had been dead in comics for years makes a stunning and cinematic return in Astonishing X-Men. Whedon and the late John Cassady craft one of the best X-Men storylines in the 21st century with Astonishing X-Men and you all should be reading this.

Episode 21 of Matt and Mike (and I guess Melissa) Read Comics takes place in the world of Planetary. A byproduct of the early days of Image, and Wildstorm in particular, Planetary ranks as one of the most unique comics that we've ever read. Masterfully crafted storytelling by Warren Ellis and the late John Cassady with deeply flawed yet likable characters, Planetary truly takes you on a ride. You aren't immediately certain where that ride is taking you, but as the layers eventually fall back and the story truly begins to blossom and connect, you see why this series is so well regarded. We had a lot of fun reading this one.

Episode 20 of Matt and Mike Read Comics is magical. We dive into the weird world created by Neil Gaiman in the Books of Magic. Taking place in the DC universe, The Books of Magic follows young Tim Hunter as he is approached by the Trenchcoat brigade and asked to make a decision; be involved in the world of magic or not. Tim can either become the greatest magician to ever live, or the most evil. The choice would be his and familiar faces like John Constantine and Mister E are there to help show him the possible ramifications of his decision. Very much in the voice of Nail Gaiman, and featuring some of his other classic characters, this book delivers a beautiful story about choice and the future. Special guest Melissa is back on the pod!!

Episode 19 of Matt and Mike Read Comics is a special occasion because we are starting on one of my favorite comic series that I've read in the last decade, Locke and Key. Written by Joe Hill and illustrated by the insanely talented Gabriel Rodriguez, this comic is a fantasy horror tale that expertly weaves in a coming-of-age story for its teen and preteen protagonists. Asking the question of “what if” in a house full of magical keys, the Locke children will learn that the imagination of a child is truly that, and that it can be deadly.

On episode 18 of Matt and Mike Read Comics we dive into the world of Southern Bastards. Another wonderful recommendation from Mike, Southern Bastards starts off as a seemingly run-of-the-mill reluctant-loner-saves-the-day sort of story set in the deep south where football runs all, even crime. Despite it's on-the-surface paint by numbers plot, the characters are suprisingly deep and relatable. And then just when you think it's going to be a tale you've heard before, the presumtive hero gets killed. Now what? I did NOT see that twist coming and then the story really takes off. Needless to say, I am excited to read more of this series!

On episode 17 of Matt and Mike Read Comics we read Cereal from Ahoy comics. It's a perfectly satirical blend of What We Do In the Shadows, Monster Squad, and of course breakfast cereal. This book is hilarious in many ways while still telling a captivating and coherent story about war and love. And also cereal. Breakfast is Matt's favorite meal of the day and Mike loves his breakfast cereal so this book was a match made in heaven. Written by Mark Russell and illustrated by Peter Snjeberg, this book is a must read.

Batman: Knightfall on episode 16 of Matt and Mike Read Comics. The classic story where Batman finally lost and the introduction of the truly terrifying villain known as Bane. Batman's rogues gallery is hard to compare to, but rarely had there been a villain like Bane. Others had come close to beating Batman, but never truly succeeded. Bane's desire to both know and beat his enemy was a new approach to villainy in the Batman world. Following Batman's defeat, Jean Paul Valley takes up the mantle in the most 90's way possible. We cover it all on this episode of Matt and Mike Read Comics.

Tony Curr is joined by Press reporters Mark Ogier and Matt Fallaize and Mike Read from CareWatch to discuss Health & Social Care's appearance in front of the Scrutiny panel. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 15 of Matt and Mike Read Comics goes into one of the most legendary stories in all of comics lore - the Dark Phoenix saga as featured in Uncanny X-Men. Most people in Matt's generation will remember first seeing this story played out in the original 90's animated show on Fox Kids, but the original story was published in comics easily 15 years earlier. It was the first time in comics where a hero of Jean Grey's stature and tenure was truly and entirely killed. It was a landmark moment in comics that set the stage for years to come.

Matt and Mike Read Comics episode 14 is the final part in our Starman series. For those of you just coming to the party, Mike and I have been reading the two gigantic compendiums of James Robinson's run on Starman. This is a run on a title that flies under the radar (I didn't know about it until Mike introduced me to it) but HOLY SHIT. HOLY SHIT. It's been a long time since I've read such a complete and engaging story with rich characters and plot threads that stretch throughout the entire narrative and resolve in the most satisfying ways. It's just a master class in storytelling and some of the best comic work I've ever read. Seriously. Absolutely brilliant work by James Robinson. Let's not forget the art. Tony Harris took up most of the penciling duties in the first compendium, but in the second compendium we are treated to a plethora of artists who all bring their unique perspectives to this sprawling story. Incredible, through and through. Top tier comic book. Everyone must read. All of it.

Matt and Mike Read Comics is back with episode 13, part 2 of our Starman series, by James Robinson and Tony Harris. If you're wondering why we need two parts, and even three, to discuss this series; just look at the size of the compendiums! There are well over 2,000 pages of comics gold here. They're like really awesome textbooks. Following up on the back half of the first compendium, we see Ted Knight really start to come into his own as a reluctant hero. We learn SO much more about the history of the Shade and his generations-long blood feud with the Ludlows. Here is where the brilliant cast of supporting characters in Starman really start to shine. David, the Shade, the Mist, the O'Dare family, and one of my personal favorites, Bobo Bennetti. Part 3 coming soon. James Robinson and Tony Harris' run on Starman is a must read for all comic book fans.

Matt and Mike are back after the holiday break and we are still reading comics! On episode 12 we start our multi-part breakdown of the legendary 90's run of Starman, by James Robinson and Tony Harris. Collecting almost 100 issues and reinventing the character for a new generation, Robinson crafts the story of a reluctant hero who has superheroing in his blood. Jack Knight's father, Ted Knight, was the first Starman decades ago, a member of the Justice Society with such legends as Jat Garrick, the first Flash, and Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern. Listen to us unpack the story of Jack Knight and his cast of supporting characters, such as the amoral Shade, the villainous Mist, and the crazy O'Dare family of cops.

Shaun Tilley celebrates the special relationship Top of the Pops and BBC Radio 1 enjoyed during the 60's, 70's and 80's. Sharing their memories with him are former hosts Pete Murray, Tony Blackburn, David Symonds, Dave Lee Travis, Johnnie Walker, Greg Edwards, Paul Burnett, Rosko, David Hamilton, Kid Jensen, Peter Powell, Mike Read, Andy Peebles, Simon Bates, Steve Wright, Richard Skinner, Adrian Juste, Gary Davies, Pat Sharp, Bruno Brookes, Dixie Peach, Paul Jordan, Simon Mayo and Adrian John! Plus there's archive chats he recorded with David Jacobs, Dave Cash and Ed Stewart as well as Janice Long, alongside classic clips and rare recordings of all those presenters in action fronting the BBC's most iconic TV music show!!

On episode 11 of Matt and Mike Read Comics, Matt and Mike read I Am Legend…the comic! Yes, the legendary and timeless novel from Richard Matheson got a comic book adaptation in the 80's and it's a sight to behold. Truly a graphic novel, Steven Niles and Elman Brown adapt the story with gripping words and beautiful art. The art, specifically, is very unique as it is only pencils and ink. With very little dialogue - mostly because the main character, Robert Neville spends the bulk of the story by himself - the story is truly told with words and accompanying pictures. Very unique in the world of comics and a truly special read. Much better than the shitty Will Smith movie.

Episode 10 of Matt and Mike Read Comics is the ultimate…universe. Remember this thing? It's hard to believe that this grim and bleak alternate version of the Marvel universe populated by absolute dickhead “heroes” is what the MCU that we all know and love is based off of. Mark Millar and Marvel wanted to shock people with their borderline insane take on the beloved heroes of Marvel who are normally likable. These Ultimates (the Avengers) are not likable in any way. Except for Hawkeye. Hawkeye rules in these books. We take a look at the first three Ultimate story arcs and how they make their key heroes progressively less likable. Read Ultimate Spider-Man instead

Matt and Mike Read Comics episode 9 is a Star Wars special. Matt and Mike (and Melissa) round up the complete Darth Vader run by Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca. These stories take place in between the original trilogy and focus on Vader's own machinations against the Emperor and the Emperor's bizarre quest to possibly replace Vader. Melissa has some good questions for us and we educate her as true comic book aficionados would. Recorded at the Secret Stash!

On episode 8 of Matt and Mike Read Comics we tackle the first part of Marv Wolfman and George Perez's legendary run on Teen Titans. The NEW Teen Titans to be exact. Breathing new life into long standing characters and introducing us to incredible new ones, this run on Teen Titans defined the team and its members for years to come and inspired much of what came after.

Episode 7 of Matt and Mike Read Comics takes a definitive look at the 90's classic, Marvel vs DC. Who REALLY should have won these matchups? And remember that bonkers ass Amalgam Universe that followed the epic throwdown? Turns out that it was actually pretty cool, for the most part. Let's bring that back!

50 years on from it's debut in 1973, Shaun Tilley is joined by Smiley Miley as they tell the story of The Radio 1 Roadshow, the world's biggest travelling outside broadcast event going coast to coast every Summer! Its creator Johnny Beerling also shares his memories plus there's tales from Tim Blackmore, David Hamilton, Annie Nightingale, Dave Atkey, Rosko, Paul Burnett, Tony Blackburn, Adrian Juste, Peter Powell, Andy Peebles, Kid Jensen, Steve Wright, Mike Read, Gary Davies, Bruno Brookes, Simon Bates, Simon Mayo and Jackie Brambles as well as archive interviews, classic clips and much more!!

Matt and Mike Read Comics get into Treasury Editions on episode 6. What's a Treasury Edition you ask? We'll tell you all about it. These are definitely some of the classic covers you have seen, but maybe never read, such as Muhammad Ali squaring off in the ring against Superman, Spider-Man and Superman clashing at the top of the Empire State Building, The Flash racing Superman, and many more. Let's have some fun with these giant, literally, comics

This week - another legend. The famous former Radio 1 DJ MIke Reaad. But not just a DJ, a multi-talented musian, author of 50 books, TV presenter, oh, and half decent tennis player. Listen to MIke talk about his enormous array of talents, TV, radio, song writing and playing tennis with the stars. There's very little Mike can't do, and do well!! Another fascinating insight of another fabulous guest. Subscribe, Share & Review

Episode 5 of Matt and Mike Read Comics is a tribute to the legend, John Romita Sr., who recently passed away. Matt and Mike talk about his legacy, special issues, and his lasting impact on comics that will live on long after we're all gone.

Matt and Mike Read Comics episode 4 is all about Astro City. Dropping in 1995 like an atom bomb in the comics world, Astro City was a refreshing take on comics in the middle of the extreme era of comics. We all know that mainstream comics in the 90's were flooded with big guns, exaggerated muscles, gigantic shoulderpads, fingerless gloves, those weird head protectors, and pouches. So. Many. Pouches. Astro City was a major throwback to the golden age of comics where the heroes had silly names and sometimes even sillier costumes; a world that revolved around a fictional city where there was never a question about the heroes intentions. But as you read on, Astro City quickly becomes something else, masterfully incorporating more modern and darker takes on comics, weaving an interconnected tale while spotlighting the champions of Astro City. A must read for all comic book fans.

Matt and Mike Read Comics Episode 3 is here! With all of the recent DC movie news the last few months, we thought it would be appropriate to educate you on what may be a lesser known title that's getting its own movie: The Authority. Originating in Image Comics with Wildstorm, this no-nonsense team is insanely powerful and has an attitude to go with it. We break down all the gory details. Written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by the incomparable Brian Hitch.

Amir and Mike read Joshua 5-6 & Colossians 3-4

Your favorite comic book lovers are back with episode 2 of Matt and Mike Read Comics! This episode is all about the former Boy Wonder himself, Nightwing; specifically Nightwing by Peter J. Tomasi. What a weird and wild tale that Nightwing has gotten himself into with this run. Featuring outstanding art by the likes of Doug Mahnke and Rags Morales, this is a great book. We cover this and much more on our second episode.

It's Saturday morning once again, and what would the weekend even be without a trip to the paper shop, a plain paper bag full of unbranded sweets that have all been individually handled by the friendly newsagent, and a comic - nay magazine, surely? - to get stuck into before World Of Sport comes on?   This week, beguiled by colourful illustrations of fearsome aliens and a cover-mounted Free Gift, the hosts of The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour have been have parted with twenty pence to partake in the first issue of the relaunched Eagle comic from 1982.

On episode 63, we've reached 6th March 1923: Glasgow 5SC launches - the BBC's first station in Scotland. It's not Scotland's first radio station (see episode 48 for the tale of how Daimler, Glasgow Motor Show and a couple of electrical shop owners made a couple of pre-BBC pop-up stations). But this sixth BBC station mattered to John Reith more than any other. He'd grown up in Glasgow. His mum came to visit the radio station. He opened the station himself - apart from the bagpipes playing Hey Johnny Cope. You have two fantastic guides through this episode: GRAHAM STEWART, a BBC journalist whose new book Scotland On-Air is out very soon.

Sharron Liddle has been a David Cassidy fan since the 1970s and is the driving force behind a happy trail of memorials around London which pay tribute to his legacy. Sharron runs the David Cassidy Group of Great Britain on Facebook, which strives to ensure his name and contribution to the musical and cultural fabric of the UK is never forgotten. Their first tribute was a plaque outside the stage door at the Phoenix Theatre where he starred in Willy Russell's Blood Brothers. It was unveiled by radio presenter, Mike Read in September 2018. Other tributes at the time included a star in the Hall of Fame at the Bristol Hippodrome where David starred in Blood Brothers with Clodagh Rogers. In our conversation, Sharron talks about the legacy trail which has evolved which also includes a plaque within the Phoenix Garden opposite the theatre which carries the symbolic words “Dreams, Wishes and Happy Trails”, a Make a Wish Charity virtual wall in his memory, a bench plaque in Hammersmith Park, and a tribute of remembrance at St Giles Church next to the Phoenix. Other memorials have been established at Wembley's Empire Pool (now Arena) where David sold out a record-breaking 6 shows in 3 days in 1973; Heathrow Airport on the site of what was the Queen's Building which fans packed onto when he arrived, or left, the UK in the 1970s. Outside of London there are memorials at Nottingham Concert Hall and on the iconic Sheffield Heart of Steel. Details of all the tributes, animals adopted in his name and charities which have benefitted from the group's work, can be found on this site:  https://bit.ly/34fgATJ Sharron's Facebook group can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/DCgbteam/ You can read more about Sharron's life mission and why he has been so important in her life, in my book, Cherish David Cassidy A Legacy of Love.
