Order of Battle Podcast episode 122 During JoeFest, Jason sat down with Bob Brechin, lead designer at Palitoy from 12” Action Man all the way through Action Force. He is the Gripping Hand, Roboskull, Skeletron, TriadFighter and so very much more! Paddy Lennon and Brian Hickey joined the conversation making it a return of old friends with the addition of a new friend. The conversation was incredible as it floated from 1919 all the way to the current day. JoeFest was incredible and this made it doubly so.

Order of Battle Podcast episode 115 Brian Hickey and Jason sat down to talk about his recent book design project and just caught up. The meandering conversation weaves in and out of “More News As It's Made” while also covering a range of toy and comic topics. Most exciting of all is that Brian, along with Paddy Lennon, and a whole contingent of Irish collectors are coming to the States for JoeFest 2024! An English contingent will be joining them too! While the Kickstarter has ended, the book can still be preordered. While doing that, you can also pick up three of Total Toy Books' other projects.

Order of Battle Podcast episode 101 Paddy Lennon, often a guest of Full Force, writer for Boss Fight Studios, many other teams, and half of the team that has brought you Total Retaliation, Total HACKS, Total Action Force, Total Action Force v2, the upcoming Total RoboSkull … Holy crap this guys writes a lot! Paddy sat down with Joel and Jason to talk about the ongoing Total HACKS vol 2 book, currently fundraising on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brianthehick/total-hacks-volume-2 As always, a great conversation about toys in general, but a better writer and photographer team just doesn't exist. These two have filled your bookshelf and here comes one more. Boss Fight Studios helped sculpt many of the community's favorite 4” and 6” GIJoe figures, worked on many other indie toy lines, and brought their own studio line to life a decade ago. This book celebrates this line of toys and storylines that support it all. Paddy has helped BFS bring worlds to life and Brian's art will certainly prove that life. Enjoy the conversation and back this book before it ends on Friday, 20 October 2023!

Howdy folks, welcome to the latest episode of the Geekeasy Comics & Stuff podcast. Doc and Wayne are joined by Paddy Lennon and David Williams for this installment, they discuss this week comic releases, their favourite limited or mini run in Comics and many other profanity filled tangents. Thank you for tuning in.
On this episode of Speakin' Geek the lads are away but Graham was lucky enough to attend Dublin Comic Con this past weekend so we have a bunch of fun interviews with some incredible talent. Graham got to talk about Declan Shalvey and Philip Barrett about their new title Savage Town, a brutal look at crime in Limerick City. It's a brutally poignant comic depicting life in Limerick City and it's a comic everyone should check out. Graham chatted with Tracy Sayers about her work on Freya her mythic adventure story about a faerie/human hybrid. Her origins, her other work on sites like Geek Ireland and discussed her appreciation of the talent of the young artist she has with her. Also, Graham sat down with Gareth Luby about his incredible work, reminiscent of legendary artist Todd Nauck. They talk about his history with hair and Graham sadly goes off on a ridiculous tangent, but don't worry he reigns it in. Finally, Graham reunites with Paddy Lennon famed author of the Flare series as they reminisce about how Graham and Paddy have discussed this series through every year of its inception. Not only that Paddy talks about his love for action figures and how his panel on them became the number. 2 thing to do at Dublin Comic Con 2017. Check out all the links below to check out their work and be sure to spread the love for Irish born talent. Stay tuned for next episode when Steve and Graham bring down the Dark Tower. @declanshalvey @philip_barrett @reikiwithtracy @PaddyLennon1 @garethluby
