Cassette tapes and Jock Jams. CD towers, bibles, and multiple changers. Crosley: the cheap vinyl gateway drug. Crossing the bridge of vinyl collector to DJ. Discogs and shopping at record stores. Our favorite record stores in Cincinnati. Lugging gear. Musical silos. Pete doesn't like the Deftones. How to make a playlist for a gig? The community of vibing together on music. How to be in the background and the Master of Ceremonies at the same time? Elvis Christ. Pete's ideas for DJing and live bands that you shouldn't steal.

In Alex Segura’s latest Pete Fernandez novel, MIAMI MIDNIGHT, the Miami private investigator has retired from sleuthing after a close encounter with death. He’s in therapy, going to alcohol anonymous meetings, and his love life is in a shambles. In steps Cuban mobster Don Alvaro Mujica who persuades him to take a PI job to search for a valuable Cuban painting that his murdered son’s wife disappeared with after his death. With MIAMI MIDNIGHT, Segura paints a mural of an introspective hero who may be heading toward tragedy or redemption. Alex Segura, a former journalist, has written five Pete Fernandez mysteries.

(Content warning for suicide and addiction issues.) Alex Segura somehow made time amongst his new babies -- a human AND a just-published last book in his Pete Fernandez series -- to talk about Leah Carroll's 2017 Down City, her memoir of her childhood after her mother's murder when Carroll was just four years old. The subject matter, which also includes her alcoholic father's decline, is rough going, but the storytelling is flawless. Alex and I talk about the poetry in austere prose, transitions that are harder than they look, "the repeated thing," and when an author's entrance into a crime story makes it a better story. The FBI Files take on Yahweh ben Yahweh in S03.E10 isn't nearly as successful, as a story that spanned decades, multiple states, and a variety of RICO-predicate offenses needs a different approach from TFF's dry, linear narrative method. And while it's good at some things, like concise overviews, it's not good at giving context to, say, how many cult hitmen keep their dirty machetes between the couch cushions. One story we couldn't stop thinking about, another we almost couldn't get through, in The Blotter Presents, Episode 108.

Why is Archie and the gang from Riverdale everywhere you look these days? We get to the bottom of that mystery – and discuss a few more – in the latest episode of RetConned. Today we’re diving into the world of Archibald Andrews, the teenager at the heart of Archie Comics for more than 75 years. […]

If the brightest light casts the darkest shadow, then novelist Alex Segura made the perfect choice in setting his Pete Fernandez series of mystery novels in Miami. And if his name seems familiar, it should be to anyone listening to this show or checking out Multiversity Comics on a regular basis: Segura is not only the "PR guy" for Archie Comics, he also edits their Dark Circle line of titles as well as writing a few from time to time. But today's interview focuses on those mystery novels, the third of which ("Dangerous Ends") hit bookstores earlier this week. Greg finds out how Alex handles having to hit certain genre expectations while still finding something personal to say in his work, the benefits of writing more than one book at a time, some advice for how to promote your work without turning people off, and just what "Noir at the Bar" entails. All that and more on this week's episode! Robots From Tomorrow is a weekly comics podcast recorded deep beneath the Earth's surface. You can subscribe to it via iTunes or through the RSS feed at RobotsFromTomorrow.com. You can also follow Mike and Greg on Twitter. This episode is brought to you by Third Eye Comics. Enjoy your funny books.

Alex Segura isn't just the head of PR for Archie and writer of the new Archies one-shot. He's also the author of the Pete Fernandez series of crime novels, so we talk to him this week about comics vs. prose, murder fiction vs. idyllic Riverdale, Archie vs. noir protagonists, crossovers, portraying music in comics, and much more! Plus, we add some characters to the Panel President list!
