Presidents have made broad appeals to our country without dividing along religious belief throughout American history. Amanda Tyler and Holly Hollman look at presidential leadership and talk about how our country's founding documents set up our system of government that does not create a “Christian nation” in any sort of legal sense – rather, it ensures freedom of religion and freedom from a state establishment of religion. They also talk about why people like to claim we are a “Christian nation” and the reasons that is a problematic statement. Segment 1 (starting at 00:38): Religious freedom at the founding Learn more about the celebration of the holiday known as Washington's Birthday from the National Archives. Amanda and Holly mentioned this article by Peter Smith for the Associated Press: Many believe the founders wanted a Christian America. Some want the government to declare one now. He also wrote this piece with some frequently asked questions. Amanda mentioned a book she is writing that will come out later this year, which is titled How to End Christian Nationalism. Watch Holly's video answering the question “Is America a Christian nation?” at this link. The Rev. Jennifer Hawks wrote this piece about Article VI for Baptist News Global: How the Constitution's original religious freedom guarantee almost didn't happen Amanda spoke with historian Steven Green in 2019 for this episode of our podcast series on the dangers of Christian nationalism: We were founded as a Christian nation? Michael Meyerson is the author of Endowed by our Creator: The Birth of Religious Freedom in America. You can read more about his 2014 lectures – given for the Walter B. and Kay W. Shurden Lectures on Religious Liberty and the Separation of Church and State – in this recap.

THIS WEEK:- WIA director, Steven Green, VK2TSG .- Wireless Institute of Australia Technical Advisory Committee Chairman Grant VK5GR .- PLUS MUCH MUCH MORE IN THIS EDITION OF NEWS FROM THE WIRELESS INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA.
Guess who's back? In their first EVER joint interview, I'm joined once more by property power couple Gemma Sharples and Steven Green, the stars of Channel 5's Rich House Poor House - a truly incredible couple who epitomise the discipline and mindset required to become the version of yourself. Nothing is off limits in this no holds barred interview. Not only do we discuss Steven and Gemma's incredible achievements over the past year but also how Steven, notorious for his positive mindset, almost backed out of his Guinness World record attempt after publicly declaring he was quitting. Known to thousands as Mr and Mrs Discipline, Gemma and Steven constantly push the boundaries of what is possible. Having become multi-millionaires through their property empire, they are now on a mission to positively impact our education system and change how we perceive mental health as a society. Their compassion, resilience and partnership have been the foundation of their success so far, and they are only just getting started. **Make sure you watch until the end for a WORLD EXCLUSIVE ** KEY TAKEAWAYS Finding your limits can be a sobering experience, but it's always possible to push past them if we can tame our mindset and reframe the challenge. Never accept defeat, even when you think you're finished. You're always capable of more. It requires an invincible mindset, but we are capable of things beyond what is accepted to be possible. There are always far more reasons in life to fail than there are to succeed. Success is a question of working out what's important to you, mapping out your time accordingly, and making sure you live a life of self-fulfilment. Those who achieve greatness are brave enough to visit places within themselves that they may never have thought possible, and who are willing to push themselves. It's about being comfortable with being uncomfortable. BEST MOMENTS 'I'm so focussed on the vision and where I'm heading, that I sometimes forget what's happened a week ago!' 'If you are able to stay in that pain zone for a couple of hours, you come back out the other side, which I now know is the "going beyond"' 'You can make money, or you can make excuses, but you can't make both' 'It comes down to being willing to fail, and being prepared to go to a place that you've never been before' VALUABLE RESOURCES On A Mission - https://omny.fm/shows/on-a-mission Biz On Fire - https://www.bizonfire.com Gemma Sharples LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gs-bizonfire/?originalSubdomain=uk Gemma Sharples Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063831390498 Steven Green Website - https://www.stegreen.co.uk/ Steven Green Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ste.green.propertytrainer/?hl=en Steven Green LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevengreenproperty/ Steven Green: Going Beyond (YouTube) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgJXONs0ruo ABOUT THE HOST Not so long ago, life was barely recognisable for Ellie McKay, raising three children under five, battling post-natal depression, facing redundancy and walking into the job centre to claim benefits with a double pram, no confidence, and wracked with insecurities. Fast forward to today, and life looks very different. Ellie committed to turning her life around for herself and her family. Following this commitment, she got to work and has now built multiple successful companies, as well as having created a multimillion-pound property portfolio from a standing start. Ellie is now on a mission to make a positive impact and add value to others through her podcast which has attracted phenomenal guests worldwide. The show is specifically to help those trying to reach their full potential through its inspirational and motivational content, as well as challenging conventional wisdom to discuss all the “hot topics” in a relentless pursuit of the truth.

We talk about how he's built a truly long lasting business in his farm by door knocking religiously. With decades in the business and over 900 sales in his farm, Steven can attest his success to his pure tenacity and consistency with his door knocking and farming efforts. In this episode Steven and I talk about: Why he chose his farm area and how he has stuck with it ever since. (You'll be shocked by what drove his decision!) Steven shares how he stays relevant year after year in his farm by door knocking and how he stands out from the competition. What he does that brings in deals year after year after year. It's actually quite simple. A SUPER easy way to book appointments while out door knocking. How many pairs of shoes he goes through each year with all the walking he does.

In this week's episode of the On A Mission podcast we are joined by “The Utter Nutter” World Record holder Steven Green. Despite being a property millionaire, trainer and public speaker, Steven is perhaps best known for his extreme personality. Over the last few years, he has put his infamous bulletproof mindset to the test. From sleeping rough and taking heroin on the streets of Leeds to completing a double Iron Man with no sleep with only 16 weeks training, it's safe to say there are no half measures with Steven. In his usual straight-talking style he wasn't scared to voice his opinions and unleash some controversy but I think you'll agree it makes for a fantastic interview.

SUPPORT OUR SHOWS ON PATREON. Full Episode Transcript: Speaker 1: Three, two, one. Alex: What is up everybody? Welcome to The Stack. I'm Alex. Justin: I'm Justin. Pete: I'm Pete. Alex: And on The Stack we talk about a bunch of Comics that have come out this week and woo boy, did a bunch of Comics come out this week. Justin: Oh, and we're going to talk about them all. It's like Pokemon, but for comics and talking instead of collecting and it's us instead of a kid named Ash. Alex: Yes, but- Pete: What? Alex: … we do still keep our comics inside of a ball. Starting with Dark Nights Death Metal The Secret Origin number one from DC Comics written by Scott Snyder and Geoff Johns. Art by Jerry Ordway, Francis Manapul, Ryan Benjamin and Richard Fred, Paul Pelletier, and Norm Rapmund. This is not what I was expecting at all. Justin: Agree completely. Alex: But what it turns out to be is a deep dive into Superboy-Prime and in a weird way, the last ever Superboy-Prime story, it also I don't know if it spoils or shows us or jumps ahead of a huge moment in Dark Nights Death Metal, but this is not just a throw away one-shot, this is an important part of the overall story. I was very hesitant going into this, but completely won over by the end both by the emotion and the storytelling and the art throughout, I was very impressed. Did you guys feel the same? Justin: Yeah. I mean, this was written by Geoff Johns and Scott Snyder. A collab, a classic collab, and it really shows. I feel like this… You hear both of their voices in a nice synergy in this book. I've never been a huge Superboy-Prime guy, but this story I thought was really good. It takes the character and really humanizes him in a way that I didn't see coming and was just a great book, great little standalone story focusing on the character. I love where it ended. Pete: Yeah, the title was a little misleading. It is kind of a Prime story which I did not see coming. Yeah, I mean, it's Supeboy-Prime still being a dick, but then he kind of gets a little bit less annoying and it's amazing art and then of course dogs are awesome and dogs can make any asshole a better person. Justin: Wow. Alex: 100%. Couldn't agree more with that. Like you said, you got Geoff Johns who invented Superboy-Prime coming in, Scott Snyder who has been the maestro of Dark Nights Death Metal and they're working together. The thing… It is a huge spoiler, but the thing that surprised me that I could not believe happened in this book is Superboy-Prime beats the Batman who laughs and essentially wins in this issue, which is wild. Justin: It was wild, but- Pete: Is that it? I mean, is it going to happen in another book. Like it just seemed crazy that this was it. Alex: I don't know. Justin: It did feel weird that it would come down to this. There's has to be a ton more story to be told in the main book, but I do think like the Space Wolverine focused book who'd colloquially known- Pete: Fuck you. You don't know anything. Justin: He's known as the Lobo- Pete: Thank you. Tell people what you're talking about because that doesn't make sense. Justin: No, I think that's a perfect description. Pete: No. Justin: Like if I were to describe you, I would say regular bones Wolverine and I think that makes a lot of sense. I just see the world through Wolverine tinted glasses. Pete: That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me. Justin: Regular bones Wolverine? Pete: Yeah. Justin: But the Lobo book… I forget what it was called, but it really told the Lobo side of the story, but it all was a part of the main story, we just got to see this little fragment fully told in the side book. So I think this is real. This is part of it. Pete: [crosstalk 00:04:03], said frag. Alex: I mean, I'll tell you what. This is an event that really could have used a checklist in the back of every book, which seems like such a dumb thing but we're about to talk about King in Black in a second and a lot of those tie-ins kind of matter, but maybe not as much as the main King in Black book matters, but it's very handy to look through and go, okay, have I read that? Have I checked that off yet mentally in my mind yet or does that come after this other thing? There's so many different spinoffs and other things that it would be very easy to skip this issue and discount it as, Oh, it's just another tale of the dark multi-verse or something like that, which mind you those books have been good as well, but I think there would have been a better way of executing that instead DC seems very allergic to recap pages and ways of letting people know how to follow their events and I wish they would do that a little better because I think ultimately that would be even more rewarding for the constant fans. Justin: The constant fans. Pete: I mean, that's the thing though [crosstalk 00:05:02], by not kind of making anything about it, they're really rewarding the people who read every DC book. Alex: They just need to put a note be like, Hey, this one's important. Justin: [crosstalk 00:05:17], strategically fraud choice if I may. Alex: All right. Well, let's move on to another big event. King in Black, number two from Marvel written by Donny Cates and art by Ryan Stegman. This is picking up split seconds after the end of the last issue of Venom, which I know I said mostly King in Black is important, but we got to watch Venom falling down a building for 32 seconds in the last issue of Venom. That he's been tossed off by the King in Black by- Pete: [crosstalk 00:05:44], don't say he's been tossed off. That's not- Alex: What are you talking about? Justin: I mean, that's- Alex: What do you think that is? Justin: … exactly. Alex: [crosstalk 00:05:52], like. Justin: Is that degrading? Alex: You can't say you toss somebody off. That's not good. Justin: [crosstalk 00:06:00], he had his salad tossed off the building. Pete: Yeah. Alex: [crosstalk 00:06:06], Oh my God. Is that what you want me to say? Pete: No. Justin: Yeah. He got- Pete: No. I'm trying- Justin: Someone brocked his world. Pete: Somebody brocked his world. Alex: [crosstalk 00:06:18], is dealing with the fallout of the last issue where the world has been taken over by [crosstalk 00:06:24], or at least New York city. Some of the Avengers are trying to rally to get Venom, and unfortunately spoiler, by the end of the issue they fail at Eddie Brock dies. Oh, I couldn't believe that… I was like, Oh, this will cut and then [inaudible 00:06:41], will swoop in and save him. He's not going to hit the ground. Smash. Justin: It's about time somebody killed this maniacal Spider-Man villain. Pete: Oh my gosh. Alex: So where do you think this is going from here? Do you think Eddie Brock is actually dead? He's going to come back to life, is his son Dylan going to be the new Venom? What's the goal here, granted that we're only a couple of issues through the King in Black event at this point. Justin: I like this event a lot because it's going hard yet we're still getting the emotional bits. I think Donny Cates is very tactical. Like the issue of Eddie falling did feel like a sendoff and then to have him die in this issue feels like maybe he is dying, but I'm pretty confident he's going to come back. He'll become a full symbiote or some version of that will be where he goes. Pete: I hope so because I really got into the father son relationship here and it was weird that while he was going through all this… Like they just had his son playing video games in another room, I was just like… I feel like someone should have- Alex: [crosstalk 00:07:45], a son? Pete: Ooh. Wow. That's [crosstalk 00:07:51], like a jilted father. A jilted dad. Justin: No. Pete: Yeah. Jesus Christ. Justin: The other day Alex's son, it was bring your father to school day and he brought in his Xbox. That's true. Pete: He was like Master Chief is my dad. Alex: Great book. Next up let's move to the end of an event Firefly: Blue Sun Rising number one from Boom Studios. Written by Greg Pak. Art by Dan McDaid. This is as I just indicated wrapping up the Blue Sun Rising event where now Reynolds and the crew of Firefly are taking it to Blue Sun, the evil organization at the heart of a lot of things in the Firefly universe. Even if you haven't been reading this event religiously this is great. This is a good- Justin: So good. Pete: Fucking Greg Pak man. Alex: … chapter in the Firefly universe. Love this stuff. Justin: Yeah. I mean, Greg Pak has done a great job of really… Took the characters from Firefly and Serenity and put them in a very different place at the start of this run and then he's really brought them back. It really feels like a great episode of Firefly or even the sort of climax of the Serenity movie. Like really great action puts the characters in a situation where they know how to succeed by fucking everything up. Introduces these other characters that aren't part of the main crew, but still fit really well. I think this event is just such a great run on this book Pete: I've kind of been an outsider for this world, but this book did such a great job of bringing me in getting to care about these characters. This was an emotional ending. I thought it was really, really well done, and so well-written. This Greg Pak guy is unbelievable. I just really love that last panel and the let no one take the sky from you. Oh, just beautiful. Alex: Great stuff. Definitely pick that up. Moving on to another surprisingly emotional issue, Ice Cream Man number 22 from Image Comics written by W. Maxwell Prince. Art by Martine Morazzo. Now we've talked about every issue of this book. Pete: Every goddamn issue. Alex: Well, every goddamn issue because it's fantastic. The art is absolutely gorgeous. It's terrifying in exactly the right way. All these small or big heart tales that parse out may have a loose continuity with them, but this one is very different. This is a advent calendar focusing on a character who's trying to deal with the fact that she's pregnant, her parents are over religious, what should she do about it? And it ends up having kind of a sad, but very hopeful ending for Ice Cream Man. This was a very refreshing change of pace and I really liked this quite a bit. Pete: Well, that's the thing. Like I couldn't enjoy the refreshing because I was so worried about how this was ending. I was just like, “Oh God, what are we doing in this issue? Is the horror going to go too far? Like holy fucking shit.” But I was really impressed with the ending. I thought it was very touching and a nice turn. Justin: Yeah. I mean, this was so refreshing that you might as well call it Lemon Sorbet man, because- Pete: There we go. Justin: … it's such a nice bright change of pace. I do think that it's sort of fitting at the end of a long difficult year to have even one of the darkest comic books on the stands really have a bright ending, but still able to talk about really interesting stuff, bring us to the edge of that horror. It's great. This book is always great. Pete: I also really like how the house in the last panel, the way the windows are opened. It almost makes the house look like an advent calendar. It's just really, really impressive. If you haven't checked this out, please do. Like every panel it's just… They're really playing chess with this. It's just very impressive. Alex: Totally agree. Let's move on to one that I was pleasantly surprised by Labyrinth: Masquerade number one from Archaia. Written by Lara Elena Donnelly. Illustrated by Pius Bak, Samantha Dodge and French Carlomagno. What Pete is alluding to is Labyrinth is one of my favorite movies of all time. Pete: You're, goddamn right it is. Alex: But I've been kind of iffy on the whole idea of continuing Labyrinth at all. What I really liked about this book is I feel like it found a fresh angle on the whole thing. We're told a story that takes place semi in parallel to the movie, has some new things to say with some new characters. Has some good things to say about memory. Adds some stuff to the continuity, and just the whole mythology of it and the art is really good as well as the coloring. I like this quite a bit. Again, I know it seems like I should be in the tank for this, but I definitely came into it being wary and was won over by the end. What was your guys' take? Justin: I think that Alex is fucking tanked, is what I think. He's in the tank, he's on the tank. This guy has tanked for this book. Pete: He's under the tank. Justin: Yeah. He's swimming in the tank. He's Scrooge dunking ducking the tank. I remember Labyrinth not perhaps as much as you. I remember if someone peeing into a fountain because we watched that in school and [crosstalk 00:13:15], a very salacious moment in my life, but this played like a book. If you're not familiar with Labyrinth, but want to give it a shot, it's very much like an issue of the dreaming in the same end universe or even an issue of fables. It plays by those same rules, it's a great story and you get to just sort of explore this world following this character. I thought it was fun. Pete: Yeah. I mean the whole time I was just thinking about how much [inaudible 00:13:43], loves this. Justin: There you go. Pete: But yeah, it was impressive. It was a new take on something that we've seen a ton. So it was nice to kind of like… I was impressed that it was fresh and the art was different, but it felt like it fit in the world. Yeah, I wasn't really a huge fan of the Labyrinth, you know? I mean, I respect the Bowie and stuff like that, but I was really impressed with this take and with this story. Alex: All right. Let's move from a book that Pete was sure that I was all over to a book that I was sure Pete was all over. King-Size Conan number one from Marvel written by Roy Thomas, Kurt Busiek, Chris Claremont, Kevin Eastman and Steven S. DeKnight. Art by Steve McNiven, Pete Woods, Roberto de la Torre, Kevin Eastman, and Jesús Saiz. So this is a tribute to Conan. It is a bunch of short stories about different parts of Conan's life. As usual the short story collection, I think mileage may vary, but for my money I thought the last story by Steven S. DeKnight was awesome. I love that one. I thought that was great. The rest of them were like your standard hack and slash fair, but that was the one that I was really into personally. Pete: All right. You don't have to shit on the other ones [inaudible 00:15:06]. Alex: The other ones were pieces of shit. Pete: No. Justin: Wow. Alex: Is what I definitely think. They're not good art and good writing through out. Pete: Yeah, the Claremont one I enjoyed, but the Eastman one, it was like I got into a cozy sleeping bag from the '90s and just wrap myself self in nostalgia and was just so happy. It's just great to see his art. I mean, it's a little weird in color, but it's still just it's so grimy and fantastic in all the right ways and I think it fits with Conan. It's cool. Alex: Did you find any poggs at the bottom of your sleeping bag? Pete: No. Justin: Get out of that sleeping bag dude. Pete: I was never a pogger. Justin: Okay. Pete: Never into the poggs, but yeah, I think this is great. A lot of great stories. Yeah, and the last one was cool. Also the art themselves we're very different, but really worked. It was impressive. Justin: Yeah, I liked this a lot too. Conan's one of those characters that has these three iconic eras. Then I think if you haven't read Conan, Jason Aaron's run on Thor sort of echoed in a really good way, where it's like young Thor, young Conan, middle sort of Thor, that's confident and a great warrior and it sort of seeded all and then King-Conan who is sort of a little bit over it, and I like all these stories. The first one I thought it was really cool because it dovetails so nicely with the original publication of Marvel's Conan: The Barbarian, which that was a cool little note and then my favorite version of Conan the more recent books of the last decade or so are the ones when he's with Bêlit his pirate queen. So it was nice to see her again here. Alex: Yeah. Good stuff overall. Next up An Unkindness of Ravens number four from Boom Studios written by Dan Panosian and illustrated by Marina… Marianna, excuse me, Ignazzi. Here we're finally kind of getting some answers about what's been going on, but this book there is a teen witch not named Sabrina who has come to a small town, find some weird goings on. There seems to be two warring factions who were both gunning for her, and here a lot of the things that we have suspected since the first issue come out. I like that they aren't wasting a lot of time on this mysteries in this book and they're finally pulling the lid back on them so to speak. Justin: Agree. Though that I will say the beginning of each issue has some good mystery building stuff where we're getting a totally different sort of art style and some backstory stuff that I think is really cool. Dan Panosian who we had on the show is the writer of this book and he… The Panosh as he has never- Alex: [crosstalk 00:17:56], calls him that. Justin: As he's never been called in his life. He illustrates the beginning of each book, which I think is very cool and then the main story it's really good. The art style is sort of in that Archie world, but telling a story that sits right alongside Sabrina, if you're a fan of the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Pete: Yeah, I agree. It's cool. It's almost like making fun of the Archie style in a way, where it's just like a little edgier. Also I think it works great. I'm impressed with this story. Also you shouldn't take old timey pills in a paper cup and then drink. You know that's just a bad combo. Justin: What are the oldest pills you think are safe to take? Are you talking about… Like when you say old timey, do you mean like… Because the oldest pills were just little pebbles that people would take. Pete: Oh, thanks man. Just the- Alex: Yeah. OG pills? Pete: OG pills- Justin: Yeah. Pete: Yeah. The original gangster of pills. Yeah, it looked like those old little paper cups that you see and he was just kind of tossing back some classic red and white pills there, and yeah. The art style is kind of like this Archie, but different, but the facial expressions are really great and especially in the main character. I think this is fun and different and cool. I like it. Alex: Next up Sea of Sorrows number two from IDW written by Rich Douek. Art and color by Alex Cormack. We had- Pete: [crosstalk 00:19:38], we had Rich on the show. Justin: Yes. Take it easy guys. Pete: Yeah. Alex: Yeah, not too rough. This is a story about a bunch of treasure hunters who encounter, or maybe some deadly mermaids. This is great. This is terrifying. This is the scariest issue I've read all week easily. Justin: Yeah, the tone of this book is just so good. The way they draw the depths of the water is scary. The way the art is from, it's so much… Like this is a very specific note, but it's like so much up and down like vertical when they're under water. Like when you read an issue of Aquaman or Namor. It's sort of a scene like you'd see on any other book except under water. With this I could see these real long angles of these people under water and just add so much tension to it. All the characters are sort of greedy, up to no good. It's great. Pete: Yeah, this is dark on top of dark and then scary as fuck, man. This is like a crazy book and it's intense to read because there is no hope, there's no chance. It's all going bad and the sea is a dark, dark place in this book and it's filled with things that are going to kill you. So this is intense and definitely worth picking up if you're into that type of shit my man, but get ready. Justin: Have you guys ever been in water before? Pete: Yeah. Justin: You guys are like really- Alex: Oh, man. No, I haven't tried it yet. Pete: Well, it was funny because Rich was talking about like… You know he's from New York City and he would go to the beach, but there's a real big difference. The first time I went into the ocean off of a boat where there's no land in sight, it's scary as fuck and I think this book kind of does a good job of really kind of grasping that. Alex: I panic when I get into the deep end of pools because I imagine there's a shark under me if I can't get to the bottom, so. Justin: Wow. Pete: Yeah. I'm ready to go to the ocean. Let's do this. Alex: No, man. You will- Justin: You really don't like the ocean? Alex: No, I really… Like I get an overactive imagination when the water is too deep and I can't see the bottom. We used to go snorkeling when I was a kid quite a bit and if we were on the low part, we're kind of swimming up to a reef or something like that. All good, but once we got past that where I couldn't touch the bottom with my feet, it really became like, “Okay, something is going to bite me. Something is going to eat me. What's coming? What's going to happen? Oh God.” And I would just get this spiraling panic until I got back to the shore. Justin: Oh, man. I can't wait for our triple Caribbean vacation. We're going to have a blast. Pete: No way, man. Alex: Good times. Let's talk about The Last God number 11 from DC comics written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson. Art by Riccardo Federici. Another guest that we had on the show this week. We had Phillip talking about this issue. This is the second to last issue of the first series in Felspire Chronicles. Yes. Pete, do you have a question or a statement? Pete: I have something I wanted to point out. Usually you do such a great job with your transitions, but I just feel like you really missed an opportunity from going from Seas of Star Wars to Sea of Stars. I just wanted to point that out real quick. Alex: You know what? I purposely separated them because I kept confusing them. Pete: Yeah. [crosstalk 00:22:58]. That makes sense. Alex: There you go you are absolutely correct. Later in the podcast, we're going to be talking about Sea of Stars number eight, but I kept them separate because I thought it was weird. All right. So let's talk about The Last God instead. This is a big dark issue where things go down. Justin: Holly shit. Alex: I don't think they're going to get out of this one. Pete: There's plucky kids. Justin: It doesn't look great. I mean, every time we talk about this book, it's all about there's just so much depth here of the fantasy, the mythology it's so well thought out. The art is amazing. It feels like the… Every page feels like the cover of a fantasy novel in the best way, and it does feel like a new take. It's like a ruined fellowship as Phillip said on the podcast and to get to be in that with them and still have it, it's not so stiff as it might come across. It's not like these people aren't saying we must continue. Like sometimes the sort of the token characters come across like they're still joking around, they're still like being real people and that's great to see. Pete: I got to tell you hearing PKG get worked up about this in how… And do it, he gets with just seeing the back matter in the songs and stuff in this issue really lets you know how deep this rabbit hole goes. Like you think you have an imagination of what you want to have happen. He has it worked out tenfold and it's really impressive. The art is just phenomenal. Each issue kind of takes you to this kind of creepy magic place. Yeah, this was a fantastic issue. Great ending. I really can't wait to see how this is all going to kind of go down. Yeah, man, the battle stuff is just glorious. Alex: Next let's talk about The Department of Truth number four from Image Comics written by James Tynion IV. Art by Martin Simmonds. Now earlier I said that Sea of Sorrows was the scariest thing that we read all week, I think I lied. I think this actually was. This book is incredible and this issue in particular is so expert at getting under your skin and making you feel uncomfortable. The writing is phenomenal. The art is phenomenal. If you haven't been reading this, this is about a organization, a part of the US government maybe devoted to not debunking conspiracy theories, but stopping conspiracy theories before they could become true based on everybody's belief. Here we get the belief that the characters of the organization is having challenged on their own as we find out more about Black Hat, the organization that's fighting against it and the stuff that they lay out here is so upsetting to read in exactly the right way. A fantastic book, but as I said very scary and very uncomfortable to read at the same time. Pete: I want to hear Justin take because he was saying this is his pick of the week. So I'm excited to hear what he's going to say. Justin: Yeah. I love this book. Like I'm a big news junkie and this book is like, Oh, this makes me feel so much better to have someone sort of digesting these things and making it make sense in a fictional context, but it actually is quite stressful to really feel these beliefs that real people in our world believe, and have it… The premise of the book is that if enough people believe in a very simple idea that is false, it still manifests in the real world and I think that is such a smart premise and scary and feels real to us. Like the book does this just great sort of loop-to-loop mentally for us as the reader, because the premise is about flies becoming real, but that's also happened in our world. It's such a smart book. Pete: That whole thing about Barack just blew my mind. I- Alex: And you believe it now, right? Pete: Yeah. It was just one of those things where they in this book were able to pull off kind of like a trope that we've seen in a lot of horror movies and spoiler, but the whole like “The room in the next room.” I was like, “Oh shit.” But like that's such a thing that I should have seen coming. It's just… Oh, man. It's intense. It uses real life that makes it scarier. Yeah, the art's phenomenal. This is a crazy read and it's really impressive. Alex: Two things that I wanted to mention about this book in particular. One, a couple of issues back they introduced these… Issue two actually I think, they introduced this star face man who are our main character that we are following who is new to The Department of Truth was maybe, or maybe not tortured by this being years back, wants to track him down and wants to stop him and it uses a lot of antisemitic tropes and as a Jewish man myself, I was very uncomfortable about it. Reading this issue the targets conspiracy theories around birtherism and Barack Obama made me realize in retrospect that, “Oh yes, of course they are trying to make me feel uncomfortable with this plot line. They're trying to make me feel this is upsetting.” And so to elicit that reaction, I think is the right thing. Alex: The other thing that I wanted to mention is the end of the book, and this is a big spoiler, but by the end of the issue our main character is told, okay, this Washington Post reporter and presumably his editor, you got to kill them. You got to just shut this down because even if they say they're not going to follow this up, at some point they're going to mention it and it's going to take on a life of its own and the Washington Post reporter I believe says something to the effect of, “Hey, you're one of the good guys, right?” And while he's crying, he says, “I think so.” And shoots them, and that in essence kind of defines and redefines the entire series because we realize, Oh, okay. We have a predilection to think that people we're following the heroes, maybe they're not. Justin: Yeah. And I think I had that same feeling of dread reading this about just controlling the truth is a slippery slope to be on. So that's a great tension for this book. One of the things I want to mention, there's an ad on the back of this book for the new Anthology series from W. Maxwell Prince, the writer of Ice Cream Man called HaHa, coming out in January. Very excited for that. Alex: Me too. Pete: I don't know if I'm ready for that. Alex: Neither am I. I feel like my wife, who is a clown is going to be hypercritical of it. We'll see what happens. Maybe we'll have her on the show. Next up [crosstalk 00:29:52], History of Animation number two from IDW written by Fred Van Lente and arts and letters by Ryan Dunlavey. Just a little note, we're going to have him on the show I believe next month or maybe February. Pete: Fred. Alex: Have a chat about this book, so that should be a lot of fun. This book is great. I know we talked about this the last time, but here we're finally getting to the point where Disney is ascended and Walt Disney at least in this world and probably in ours as well is a sociopath. Justin: Yes. Pete: Yeah. It's super crazy to read this. You know that Fred Van Lente just did all this off the top of his dome. Like this guy knows so much about Animation. Alex: He made it all up, right? Justin: Yeah. Alex: He made up all this shit? Pete: No, no. He just knows it- Alex: The Department of Truth. Pete: … because he lived it, man. He lived it all. Alex: Oh, God. That's crazy. Justin: He lived it. I love that little facts you learn every time you read any books that these guys do together, and this is so interesting. Like just one from the beginning here Marjorie Sullivan I think wife of the creator of Felix the Cat, notable drinker fell out of her window and died trying to hail her chauffeur while she was drunk. Just those little details, these little stories that are just so interesting, and then the way they incorporate imagery from the actual cartoons and animated projects they're talking about is really cool. Alex: And it's also funny. You know it could just be a history lesson that feel like reading Wikipedia, but they make it engaging, they make it fun as they have done with every comic they've done across the board. This is great. I'm very excited to keep reading this book and see how they get up to modern history. It's really fascinating so far. Next one Doctor Doom number 10 from Marvel written by Christopher Cantwell. Art by Salvador Larroca. This is the last issue of this title. I believe the last one we read was the first issue of this title. So I figured it was worth checking in. Part of the criticism I believe we had with the first issue was it seemed a little light and fun for a Doctor Doom book. This issue was not light and fun, [crosstalk 00:32:00], but definitely very dark in exactly the right way. I thought this was a great ending for the series. How'd you guys think? Justin: I agree like the first issue I think was called Pottersville last issue called Bedford Falls, I think those are two references to its wonderful life. My favorite movie at the holidays. So this felt very timely and it's just a great character study of Doctor Doom that we get to see played out here, cementing him as a straight up villain. He gets played a lot in Fantastic Four as sort of a little bit of a softie. He has a connection with Valerio thanks to Hickman's run, but I think this is the best Doctor Doom. He's a petty, very powerful super villain and we get to see that on display. Pete: Yeah. Just to me the way it ended was great. When it started, I was like what are we doing here? I don't want a different Doom, but just the way he's like never was, never will be good. Like that was just so bad-ass, such a great Doom kind of like ending. So I was really impressed with how this ended. Justin: You were like here comes the Doom? Pete: Yeah. “Here comes the Doom.” Alex: Well from Sea of Sorrows to Sea of Star number eight from the Image Comics written by Jason Aaron and Dennis Hallum. Art by Steven Green. So we had Dennis Hallum on the show, live show a couple of weeks ago and I thought it was really fascinating frankly reading this now knowing that… Unless I got it wrong, Dennis writes the dad stuff and Jason Aaron writes the kids' stuff and knowing they kind of write on their own tracks, definitely redefined how I read this book, but still another good weird issue of the story of a dad and his son trying to find each other in the universe. Justin: Yeah. I mean, really knowing that about the book it definitely changes how you read it. This book reminds me so much of sort of last season late episodes of Adventure Time where it's like a little bit trippier it's a little bit like you don't quite know where the deeper underpinnings are blending with the fun mythology stuff and I'd love that. So I love this. Pete: Yeah. This continues to be just kind of like I'm worried about the kid and if they're going to find each other, but I'm also having such a great time with the amazing stuff that is happening and to see that the dad kind of get to have some fun in this issue was great. Before he was just kind of just scared shitless for his son and kind of panicking. This was I feel like a cool kind of turn where now both characters are kind of like looking for each other, but they're all both also kind of having fun out here in the Sea of Stars. Alex: Next up Transformers/Back to the Future number two from IDW written by Cavan Scott. Art by Juan Samu. I got to tell you I was fine with the first issue of this book. I thought it was fun, but okay. We get of course time travel story where the Decepticons take over the past of Hill Valley, turn it into a despotic future. Marty McFly has left there, but the reveal at the end that the DeLorean is a transformer was like, “Great. Now we're into it.” This issue paid off of that promise. It was a blast to read, super dumb and silly and fun in exactly the right way. Like I said, I had a blast reading this. I had a lot of fun. Pete, I'm sure you had fun as well. Pete: Yeah. This is just a ton of just kind of like mash up fun. You know like what's better than DeLorean being a transformer, spoiler also the goddamn skateboard is a transformer. Justin: Yes. Oh, you're not a fan of Skills. The transformer who's also a skate board. This makes me think like, can any wield object be a transformer? Pete: Yeah. Justin: Like- Pete: Well, also I got to say the ending was also a lot of fun. Doc Brown, looking like he's got the Mando gun going on and I tell you what, I don't know what future those ties are, but I can't wait to get there because that's a fun looking tie and I'm hoping to rock one, one day. Justin: Yeah, sort of the bandolier tie? Pete: Yeah, man. Justin: Here's what want to pitch given what I just said sort of an Amish wagon transformer series [crosstalk 00:36:46], wheelbarrow, there's a Turner, there's- Alex: My name is Rumspringer. I'm an auto bot. Pete: Rumspringer. Alex: Yes. There's more than meets the eye. Yeah, this is a blast read. It's very silly but it's very fun the right way. Next step action comics number 1028 from DC comics written by Brian Michael Bendis. Art by John Romita Jr. This is the last issue of Brian Michael Bendis's run on the title. He's wrapping everything up with the super family before he move on with Phillip Kennedy Johnson, who again we had on the live show talking about his new run so go check that out- Pete: [crosstalk 00:37:22], key guests. Justin: We're topical. Pete: Man. Alex: But what do you think about this issue? What do you think about Brian Michael Bendis's run on the super family as a whole? Pete: I thought you were going to be like, what do you think of this Brian Michael Bendis guy? Alex: Do you think he's going to do well? Pete: I thought this was very swing issue, cool ending, love the thank you notes by the desk cubicle, amazing art, touching story. I thought this was a great Superman comic. Justin: I mean, this is Bendis doing what he does best and Bendis writes great sum up issues for his runs, where he… Because his whole thing is like really bringing characters down to earth, having them having a take and really connecting with the other characters in their universe and that is what this is all about. We get to see this stuff from the Jimmy Olsen series where he has purchased The Daily Planet. Perry's very fun, we don't get a ton of time with actual Superman stuff happening here which I thought was interesting, but I love the family stuff. That's what I really liked about the run before Bendis took over so I'm glad we're sort of landing there because I hope that we'll play a lot in going forward and honestly, I don't feel as burnt by the Superman and Clark Kent revealing themselves to the world as I did initially. Alex: Yeah. I think that's a fair estimation of it and overall, this is a good fun issue. It doesn't feel particularly essential necessarily. It's been weird reading the sum-up issues before they move on to Future State where it's like well, see you later, is kind of what they feel like, but John Romita Jr art, it's good. He's drawn a good superman. It's a nice time. Pete: Yeah. Alex: Next up The Scumbag number three from Image Comics. Written by Rick Remender. Art by Eric Powell as considering the story of the worst guy on earth who can save the earth. Here, I think we kind of complete the first arc and move into the second arc or at least the second villain for our dirt bag hero naturally saves the world, but does some terrible things in the process. This book continues to be very timely in an interesting way and funny at the same time. Justin: Yeah. I mean, I agree. It's a classic Remender book where it's like a strong, good premise for a story. It's very funny, but there's always some stuff underneath. It's really like commenting on our world in a way that is really nice. Pete, give me your take on this 1978 Firebird trans in. Pete: Come on, man. I mean I was a little disappointed with the sex doll edition, but that is like, Woo-hoo, baby. Justin: Now that's a transformer, right? Pete: Yeah. it should be. Justin: I do like the last page that sets up our next field and as you said Alex, the sort of accolade looking people hundreds of them on laptops typing on the bright side of the moon with a mysterious villain watching over them is a great setup. Pete: I also like how there's this line with the scumbag, you know what I mean? Like okay, the scumbag gets to be a scumbag at different moments, but it's also like, “Hey man you can't be a piece of shit and have superpowers. That's not how it works, you know?” And that really kind of comes back to- Justin: Oh wait Pete. Actually, have you ever met villains? Have you ever met any supervillains? Pete: No, I haven't. Cause I'd probably be dead if I did, but thank you for asking? Justin: No. I mean, have you ever read about them, because those people are mostly assholes who have super powers. Pete: Oh, okay. Interesting take, but- Justin: And I'll also mentioned Eric Powells art, which is like what if Mad magazine, but super fucked up, which is fun to read. Alex: It's just a fun book across the board. Let's move to a slightly more serious one Scarenthood number three from IDW. Story and art by Nick Roche. Color by Chris O'Halloran. In this book we've been following a father and his friends, who have to deal with some weird going on in their town, around the school that their kids go to. Here a lot comes out about our main character that makes him I think in a really interesting way less palatable as well as we get the lid blown off when it comes to the supernatural storyline. It was definitely a big issue. Justin, you've been really liking this book in particular I think. Justin: I like this book a lot because of those swerves that it keeps taking. It's interesting we've spent the first two issues really in the head of our main character and then the perspective totally flipped. I love being inside people's heads except for the year that I was trapped inside Pete's head being John Malkovich style. That was a weird ride. Pete: Yeah. You almost didn't make it out, man. Justin: That's true, but boy I learned a lot about your schedule, what you do on your private time. Check out the upcoming memoir- Pete: Yeah. I think this is definitely what it's like to be a parent. Justin: … if I did it the page story. Pete: You know, like you've got your responsibilities to your kid and then you have a group of parents that you get together with and you solve crimes and ghost stories and stuff like that. So I feel it's nice to have a representation of what it's like to be a parent in this world. Alex: Yeah, I agree. Let's move on and talk about US Agent number two from Marvel written by Priest art by Georges Jeanty. This is continuing a story where US agent is dealing with a lot of things. I'll tell you what, I honestly had a little bit of trouble following this issue even though I remember what happened to the last issue which I think we all liked quite a bit, but the Georges Jeanty art still reliably very good. Justin: Yeah. I agree. It is. I don't quite know the full take of this story, but I do like it. I like the scenes, I like the issues we're touching on here and I just like US agent as a character. Like what if captain America was sort of a jerk, but really had an inferiority complex, but was always trying to do the right thing. So I like where this book is living. Pete: Yeah. I had a little bit of a hard time following what was happening, but it's cool. Alex: All right. Well, next stop then Undiscovered Country number 11 from Image Comics written by Scott Snyder and Charles Soule. Art by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Leonardo Marcello Grassi. In this issue we're starting to get into the, if not wrap up, at least the back half of the unity storyline. We are in the second ring of a closed off America that has all followed focused on tech, turns out it's terrible. They're powered by baby brains. There is a basically dead woman living in a giant vagina who runs everything and she wants our heroes brains to join them. Alex: Here's something that I thought was fascinating about this issue, and this is definitely a spoiler for the issue, but I certainly realized this and the characters realized in this book, they're given a challenge. There said Aurora, who's the person who runs America wants you to either choose a ring of America or keep moving to the next ring until you choose one, and by the end of the book they all realize they say, “Hey, you know what I think we need to do is we need to see all of these rings and get to Aurora and then bring what we've learned. That's the challenge here.” And that's certainly what I thought. I was like, “I'm ahead of this book. I know what's going on here.” But the fact that they said that out loud, that is 100% wrong, right? Pete: Yup. Justin: Yes. I think that was a classic bait and switch move that we get a little bit of a pay off right here. Pete: But also we're plug for the first-generation iPod in the middle of this. Alex: Still good man [crosstalk 00:45:23], click wheels are really good. [crosstalk 00:45:27], plus all crazy bass they had for songs on those things. Justin: You can listen to one whole U2 album on there, and that's the only thing. If I remember correctly, that's the only thing you can listen to on it. Yeah, I really liked this arc especially. Like we talked about it before, but it really focuses up a lot of the ideas and you have more of a sense of the characters coming out of the first arc. So it really moves in a nice way, and so many ideas. Pete: I think it's an interesting idea just like, Oh, you just got to give up your second born. Not your first born to be a floating brain just your second born, you know what I mean? No one really cares. Alex: I think I can do that. Justin? Justin: Yeah. Wait a second. Are you a first born or a second born? Because I think- Alex: [crosstalk 00:46:16], I'm a firstborn. Justin: I'm a first born. Pete, aren't you this younger brother? Pete: Nope. I'm a firstborn as well. Alex: Oh, great. Well this is all working out so well. The book is really good, definitely pick it up. Next up at last something… Oh yes. What's up Pete? Pete: I did want to say though that every time I think I have a handle on what's going on, they're like nope, not even close. Which is not really frustrating, but impressive that I could still be confused after this long, but man the art and the paneling it's just really impressive. Okay, sorry. Alex: No. It's all right. Last but not least Something is Killing the Children number 13 from Boom Studios written by James Tynion IV. Art by Werther Dell'Edera. We're finally getting an event that's been promised pretty much since the first issue where our main characters compatriots come to town and start killing everybody. She wants to shut down the monsters that are killing the children as quickly as possible. Every issue… I know I say this every issue, but so little happens but it's of such import to the characters, it still feels media at the same time and Werther Dell'Edera art is phenomenal. Another great issue of this book. Justin: Every single issue of this is just so great and the art is just… There's at least one or two panels where you're like fuck man I would love to have that. It's like a desktop background or a poster or something. It's just glorious. Alex: [crosstalk 00:47:49]. That would be so cool to have it as a desktop background. Pete: Yeah, because you get to stare at it every day you fucking dick. Alex: [crosstalk 00:47:57], a laptop. I don't want to brag or anything. Justin: Mr. Desktop over here. I would love to have it just as printed on my sheets. Alex: [crosstalk 00:48:05], to have it on my van. Justin: Yeah. The inside or the outside are both? Alex: Inside. I don't want other people to see. Justin: Nice. Alex: It's for me. Justin: That's for you. That's for daddy. Yeah, I like this book a lot. I will say the pace of this book is gotten, it's pretty… Not a ton of story happens each issue, and I'm curious if that will change. Because I think it needs to make some larger moves. So maybe- Pete: So you're saying this wildly popular book that is really impressive they should just change it? Justin: I think it could pace up a little bit. I feel like we've been in this narrative moment for quite some time. Pete: Yeah, but if you read in the trade then you're fucking fine, they don't have to change anything. Justin: Don't tell me what to do. Pete: Well, don't tell it what to do, enjoy it for what it is. Alex: Well, I'll tell you what I'm going to tell those of you listening what to do.

Welcome to The Stack. I'm Alex. Pete: I'm Pete. And- Alex: And I'm… What? What? Pete: Real quick. Alex: Yeah. Pete: You still have the two owls fucking up behind you. They're still fucking each other behind you, in between shows, you could have taken one down or separated them. Alex: Listen Pete, you do not know that the same people who watch our live show are also listening to our Stack podcasts. Don't assume that there's a continuity there. Just to explain to everybody just listening to this podcast. Pete: I am listening. Alex: There are two owls who may or may not be fucking behind me. It's unclear, and nobody knows. All right? Pete: Okay. Alex: But I will say one of them has a very deep hole and the other one does not. Pete: Stop saying that. Please stop. Alex: It's a puppet. It's a puppet. So you can put your hand in it. That's what I'm saying. He'll wear you like a puppet, Pete. Let's talk about The Stack. There's a bunch of books that came out. Pete: So many books. Alex: So many books for us to chat about, and some big books as well. Kicking it off with The Department of Truth. Number one, print image comic… Pete: Oh, you want to start with your favorite? Alex: I want to start with my favorite. There's also a ton of hype on this book, so I'm excited to chat about it. Written by James Tynion IV, art by Martin Simmonds. James Tynion IV, as we talked about a lot on all of our podcasts, has been on a roll lately. And in particular, I think like… This is not an insult, but Wind, maybe a little less so, even though I really enjoy that book, but there's something about- Pete: Wow. Fuck you. Don't. Alex: Something is Killing the Children came out and there was an insane amount of hype on it, and then it delivered. The Department of Truth seems sort of to think like such a clear title, you know what this book is on going in, and then it completely delivers in the first issue. I'm almost reticent to spoil it because it is one of those books, in my mind, it feels like a Brian Kay von book, where you read it and you're like, “Yes. Okay. This last page, this got me.” Pete: Oh my God. The last page though. Alex: Yes. Pete: But that's the thing, you said you read it and you know what's going on, I did not. It took me a while to kind of piece it all together, but man, by that last page you are hyped. Alex: Yes. Pete: You are so hyped and ready for the next issue. It's unbelievable. But the art is are really cool. It really fits the tone of what they're trying to do in such a great way. Alex: Yeah. Pete: And man, is the book good. Alex: I know we're bouncing around and not actually mentioning the plot here, and part of it is by design. Pete: That's how I like to talk. Alex: Well, I don't want to tell the people what the plot are, because I read the book, not actually knowing what it was, then read, went to Image Comics' website and looked at their blurb, it gives away too much. I didn't want to know any of that stuff going in. Alex: So, go in totally clean, know that it is a thing. You could probably tell us from the title, but it's a thing about kind of conspiracy theories and the government. I think that's all you need to know. Pete: Don't spoil it. You fucking ass. Alex: That's all I'm going to say. The art, the writing, everything, it feels to me, it feels like a vintage vertigo book. Like a book that like would come out at the same time as Sandman and everything else where you'd be like, “Oh shit, this is going to change the industry.” Alex: And now it's another in a line of amazing books from Image Comics, but it is great. And to your point, Martin Simmonds art, it feels a little… Ah, who's the guy who did 30 days of Night? Is it Ben Templesmith? Pete: Yes. Alex: It feels a little like Ben Templesmith on the art, but it's different enough. James Tynion is on a fire here, and it is a book that feels insanely current, like insanely current. Pete: It's really well done. It's just so good. I wonder if the people at Image are just high fiving themselves like, “We're fucking killing it right now. You can't touch us.” Alex: Well, the thing that is, I think, so great about this book, and again, this is not spoilers, this is just kind of skirting what it's about, is that it is about our current moment in time and our current political moment in time, but it's fun to read at the same time. It's still scary at points. It's fun at points. There's good action. There's good adventure. There's good weirdness. Great, great book. Do not miss this one. Pete: Really great book. Alex: Don't miss it. Alex: Next up, another book that I'm going to say don't mix, Shang-Chi, number one from Marvel, written by Gene Luen Yang and art by Dike Ruan. This is another one that I wasn't sure about going in, but as usual, Gene Luen Yang killed it. Alex: We get Shang-Chi, turns out he's part of a dynasty of five weapons. It's very similar on the surface to what happened with Iron Fist, where there were those seven immortal cities, but it goes in a very different direction by the ed. Super fun. Great last page. I'm 100% on board with the character, and it's a very different take on Shang-Chi. Alex: It's clearly calculated to have something that has a trade or multiple trades on the shelves by the time the movie hits, but you will not regret picking up this comic book. Pete: I'm so happy with the team behind this book. So happy for this new relaunch of Shang-Chi. One of my favorite characters as a kid, also get a little Fin Fang Foom, which I was totally pumped to see. This is a great book, great art, fun storytelling, and it picks up and you think like, “Okay.” But then you're like… It just does such a great job of unveiling the story in such a way that kind of is a little different than what we're used to, but still has all the action and stuff that you want. Pete: I'm very impressed with this book. I'm very excited to see how this is going to move forward. And also this was the first Marvel book that I read with the Brian Starfreeze- Alex: Stelfreeze? Pete: Stelfreeze, sorry. Stelfreeze tribute to Chadwick Bozeman, and it's very fucking moving and an amazing art and so powerful. And I'm so happy that Marvel is doing this. Alex: Man, they really went all out for that. I mean, just to talk about that for a moment. A lot of last weeks books had the Chadwick Bozeman tribute [crosstalk 00:06:51] rest in power branding on it. But this week, there's a whole testimonial from Ta-Nehisi Coates. There was the art, as you mentioned. And yeah, it's really powerful stuff. Pete: Yeah. It's really moving. Alex: But yeah, that's all said about Shang-Chi. One of the things that I love about it is Yang does such a great job of sneaking humor in out of nowhere. The rhythm of his humor, it almost sneaks in from the side in a certain way where it's in the middle of an action sequence and suddenly there's a joke. Alex: It completely throws me in the right way where I'm like, “Wait, wait, hold up, this was a serious scene, what's going on? That's funny, that thing that you're doing.” It just makes it really fun to read, even as he's setting up these good characters, this good mythology. Alex: Getting back to the Iron Fist thing, it almost feels like a rejoinder to Iron Fist, which is very good, mind you, but to the whole conversation surrounding Iron Fist, the TV show, where people are like, “Dude, cast an Asian person, person of Asian descent as Iron Fist, or just do Shang-Chi. What are you doing?” Alex: And this comic series is very specifically to be like, “Here you go.” Pete: Thank you. Yes, please. Alex: Great stuff. Can't wait to read the second issue of that. Let's move on to one of our favorites here on the show, that Texas blood number four Image Comics, by Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips. We had Chris Condon on the live show a couple of weeks ago, and that was super fun to talk to him about this book. Alex: This issue, we're continuing the storyline of this brother who's come back to Texas. He's discovered some bad doings around his brother who was killed. This is very much a middle of the arc issue, but there's still such good character stuff here. And there's such a good emotionally based character twist that happens as well. Every issue of this is great. I'm really enjoying it. Pete: Yeah. The storytelling, the pacing, the art, it's really, really well done. It's very interesting. They do a great job issue to issue, giving you more information on this bigger thing in such a cool way that you're just you're in and you want more and more and more. They're killing it on this book. Just the paneling, it's just really impressive package. Alex: Yeah. There's a great scene in here with our sheriff character, who we haven't seen a lot of since the first issue. Where he's sitting down with his wife and his wife is talking to him and his… If you haven't been reading the book, he has this verbal tick where he just says, “Well.” And that's pretty much it all the time. Alex: The way that the lettering plays out in particular, it reads so well as a scene where she's just- Pete: So well. Alex: Yeah. Yes. Where she's just kind of like needling him a little bit. And he's like, “Well.” And she's like, “Well?” Alex: It's great. Just the rhythm of that scene is so good. And just those little character moments are so nice. Definitely pick up this book. Pete: Yeah. Alex: Next one up, I'm very curious to get your take on this, Pete. Batman: Three Jokers, number two from DC Comics written by Jeff Johns and Jason Fabok. This is continuing with the storyline, as you can tell from the title of, there are actually three Jokers. There's the original Joker, the criminal, there's the comedian, and there's the performer. I'm forgetting what the third one is. Whatever it is. He's dead this issue. Pete: The criminal, the comedian, and the clown. Alex: The clown, there we go. And the clown was killed by Red Hood last issue. There's serious repercussions for this issue. I got to tell you, I am so stressed out reading this book, I can't quite explain it. Alex: Jason Fabok's art is phenomenal, but the feeling and the tension that Jeff Johns is putting in this through the characters is everything that should have been present to Doomsday Clock but wasn't, but is here. It's very hard to read, but it feels like that is part of the point. What's your take on it? Pete: Yeah. That's the thing. It is very hard to read. What sucks is it reopens a wound of… We get Jason Todd again, fucked up by the Joker in a way that's not cool and way out of bounds. And you have this hard conversation with Batman and Barbara and it's like, I'm reading this going, “Hey, Jeff Johns, what are you fucking doing to me over here, man? Well, I already lived this and had to live with this already. And then you're making us redo it.” It's very painful and I'm just wondering why. Why? Alex: Well, it's interesting to pair this with Doomsday Clock, I think, because Doomsday Clock, for all its faults, was Jeff John's mission statement on what Alan Moore had to say through Watchman, what Alan Moore had to say about superhero comics and what he had to say about the universe. Alex: It's certainly, at the very least in this issue, particularly given the last page, feels like this is- Pete: That last page was awesome though. Alex: Well, it's Jeff Johns' mission statement on killing Joke versus Watchman, which is not unimpeachable, but it's still a masterpiece of the forum, as we talked about at length on our Watchman watch podcast. Killing Joke has not aged well. Killing Joke- Pete: Well, that's also the thing, is the killing joke recently had a movie done that was awful. Just garbage in a way that was unnecessary and very painful. I went to the movie theater very excited about what I was going to see and got kicked in the nuts repeatedly. And now Jeff John's like, “Oh, guess what? I'm not done kicking you in the fucking nuts yet.” Alex: Here's your problem, you got to stop going to 4D Movie theaters, and then you won't get kicked in the nuts repeatedly. You pay extra for the shit, right? Pete: Don't bring up 4D, man. That shit is awful. Alex: Jason Fabok started [crosstalk 00:13:23] Pete: I think 4D is the reason we're in this fucking pandemic, because there's spraying in the seats and that's where the COVID started. Alex: Oh man. Pete, by the way, I love your podcast that you do out of Alex Ross's network. It's very good. Batman: Three jokers is also, I think, very well done. Makes me uncomfortable. I'm not quite sure where it's going. And I'm certainly nervous on the places it going to leave the Joker and Batman in continuity, when eventually things link up. But it's a nicely put together package, I would say. Pete: It's too bad Justin is not here. Alex: Yeah. He loves the tight little package. Next up Chew Number Three from Image Comics, written and lettered by John Layman, art and colors by Dan Boultwood. This is continuing the story of the Breaking Bad and the Chew universe as Chew's sister. Goes darker and darker. Now they're just good fun issue of this book. I'm really enjoying a lot and I'm enjoying revisiting the Chew universe through this time. Pete: Oh, see what you did there? Alex: Yes, I do. Pete: Yeah, I agree. This is just a fun extension of something we already love. Very interesting to kind of have these two kind of like sisters. It's very cool to see where this goes. I think it's just a great continuation of something, and the art and writing, it feels spot on to what we love and it's just great. Alex: Yeah. It took a little while. I enjoyed the first two issues, but this is the first issue that really feels humor-wise on the same level as Chew, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm very happy about the series. Alex: Let's move on to one I'm sure we're going to agree on, X-Factor Number Two from Marvel, written by Leah Williams and art by Carlos Gomez. This is the second part of 10 of Swords. I know I loved the first issue of this. I thought this is great. Alex: The second issue is a little more of a business issue as the team recovers from the disaster that happened in other worlds. Now, they need to find 10 swords to battle apocalypses, evil children. That's what's going on. Here though, they're dealing with the fact that Rockslide died, Apocalypse got killed, Richter almost got killed. And what happens after that. Alex: And we once again get a realignment of how death works in the X-Men part of the universe, that I though was very smart and ups the stakes of everything that happens. I'm really enjoying this crossover. Pete, I'm sure you feel the same. Over to you. Pete: This fucking sucks, man. This is such fucking bullshit. What the fuck is even happening? There is so much shit happening that it is just insane. There is too much to deal with. And then in between that, they're making us read these fucking briefing statements- Alex: Love it. Pete: … wherever the fuck they are. The signed affidavit bullshit. I'm so happy that Charles Xavier finally lost his lollipop head. I'm very excited in that. Alex: Can we talk about that moment? I know you don't like this, but the very fact that everybody, this entire time, since House of Acts and Powers of 10 launched, has been talking about, “Wait, the X-Men could just resurrect themselves whenever they want, what does it matter if they die? The moment when, and this is a big spoiler for the issue, but they try to resurrect Rockslide and it goes horribly wrong to the point where Xavier's helmet shorts out, and we get to see every other helmet short out. Alex: I screamed, is probably too strong, but I definitely was gassed at that moment, because it was like, “This is all over.” It turns out that's not exactly what's going on, but that the stakes are that high for this thing, I thought was great. Pete: Yeah. You said this thing, because you don't even know what the fuck is going on. Alex: I know what's going on. Pete: Your shit is too confusing. And it's weird because it's like, okay, here's a shot of Xavier's helmet in a root bath, overlooking something. And then, oh, here's a shot of Xavier's helmet in a root bath that's in space, in a root bath that's somewhere else under a sun and then water. Alex: Hold on. This is the most- Pete: What is happening in this book? Alex: This is the most excited I've been about the X-Men in decades. Pete: Congratulations. You should- Alex: Thank you. Pete: … read X-Men more. I think that it's just sanity stacked on insanity, stacked on insanity. We have to deal with the first thing you did before we can move on. We're barely dealing with the fact that all the X-Men said, “Hey, fuck you to the rest of the world.” Okay. Now you're on your own private Island, you're fucking each other, great. Then it's just one insane thing after another insane thing, and then this insane council that like oversees everything. It is just so much insanity I keep hoping like, “All right, eventually this is going to calm down so we can catch up to all the madness.” And it just stays on the gas pedal, and I'm really having a hard time keeping up and dealing with it. Alex: I mean, I get what you're saying. I do think though that this crossover is more accessible than the stuff that has come before. I love the fact that, again, spoiler for the issue, but Polaris is some sort of seer, she's been given- Pete: Poor Polaris, is really falling apart here. Alex: She is falling apart because she let down her team, she let down everybody, but she has the information to where these 10 swords are going to be so that they can battle Apocalypse's evil children. Alex: I love the fact that she does this prophecy and the folks at Marvel, no, we're going to pick it apart, we're going to figure it out very quickly. So instead, at the end of the issue, they have Cipher being like, “Okay, here's what I think they're talking about on the prophecy. Here's the characters. They're going to go get swords.” Alex: And some of them are going to be wrong, but I love the idea that they're sending us on a wrong path in some places, while on the right path in others, like of course, Wolverine's going to have a sword. We already know Illyana is one of the people who has the sword. Pete: The Illyana part was great. Alex: That was great, so much fun. I am having a blast so far with the storyline and I'm excited to see what happens Pete: I would like to be enjoying it, but there's just too much madness going on with portals opening and closing, and then the White Queen's being mean. It's just it's too much. Alex: Excuse me. Pete: Well timed cough there, buddy. Alex: No problem. Pete: What are you trying to say? Alex: Nothing. Nailbiter returns number five from Image Comic. Story and art by Joshua Williamson and Mike Henderson. This is picking up the storyline. There's a contest going on in Buckaroo with a bunch of copycat serial killers, or are they? In this issue, there's a big twist. And we find there's another Nailbiter who looks exactly like the original Nailbiter. Some big action goes down. Alex: We had Joshua Williamson on the show a couple of months ago and he talked about the storyline. I love that he's just following through on it. This is a big fun action. Every single issue, out of the gate. I'm having a blast reading this one too. Pete: It's unbelievable. It's really a lot of fun. It's fast paced. It's action oriented. But also the art is amazeballs. You've got a lot of fun, double spread stuff. Great characters. Great action. This is just really, really fun book. Alex: Yeah. Next up WW84 Number One, which of course is World War 84. We skipped a couple in there, but that's all right. Number one. Just kidding. It's Wonder Woman 84, Number one. This is- Pete: Story. Alex: Yes. Hold on. A story by Anna Obropta and Louise Simonson art by Brett Blevins. I'm going to say two things about this. Pete: Well, wait, wait, wait. Alex: Yeah. Yeah. Pete: First off, it's a tie into the movie. Alex: Yes. Pete: Which I am so excited for this movie, but obviously let's push it back until we can all go see it in theaters or whatever we need to do. So excited for this movie. And then was so excited for this comic book because it's a tie in and I'm like, “Okay, maybe it'll match the tone of what's going on.” But then I got really disappointed and was like, “God, I hope the movie is nothing like this, because there is some really just lame character stuff. I mean, one of them is called Jazz and is just like chill Jazz, grownups never listen, who wrote this? Like what are you- Alex: Anna Obropta and Louise Simonson. Pete: Yeah, I know. But like really over the top kind of like, I'm being a kid right now and parents are lame. And then the accents of the robbers like, “The stairs. Tor the roof. Over that way.” I'm like, wow. No, [crosstalk 00:22:49] but let's tone this down a little bit. Make it a little bit more like not… It seems a joke to me. Alex: Wow. I didn't realize you'd be so negative about this. I thought this was just fine. I thought that was fine as like a movie tie-in comic. The big blubber to me was this idea that like… It's very clear that this machine is running, but certain parts of it are not working well. And what I mean by that is, as you mentioned, the movie was supposed to come out months ago, then it was supposed to come out in, I want to say, October. Pete: Yeah. Alex: And now it's being pushed to December. It'll probably be pushed back again. Let's be honest. But this weekend I actually went to Target, which was a harrowing experience. Pete: Why would you do that? Alex: It was actually fine. We needed to get my kids shoes and there was barely anybody there, so it was totally okay. Pete: Oh, wow. Alex: Yeah, it was pretty awesome. I was very nervous about it. But walking through the toy aisle, they had Legos for Wonder Woman in 1984, and I was like, “Man, this is not coming out for months now and you have the Legos already on the shelf.” And it's the same thing with the comic. And it's a real bummer to be like, they couldn't stop it. The comic still needed to come out, the Legos still needed to come out, even though the movie has been pushed way, way back. And that made me weirdly sad. Pete: Yeah. Alex: That's all. But that said, I thought the comic is fine. It is the sort of thing that if the movie was out or the movie was coming out next week, I think we'd read it and be like, “Yeah, this is cute. This is fine. I can't wait to see the movie.” As is, as the only thing we're getting for months and months, there's a lot more pressure on it. Pete: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I do like this idea of putting Wonder Woman in a museum where she can tell stories about like- Alex: She belongs in a museum. Pete: Fuck you. Telling stories about bad-ass females throughout history, that's awesome. I fucking love that. Premise, I don't want stereotypical weird kind of characters. Alex: We named Need the dog Diana. Pete: Oh, wow. Alex: Yeah. Pete: Well, I hope you got your kids wonderful Wonder Woman shoes while you were at Target. Alex: No, they didn't want that. Next up, Sea of stars, Number seven from Image Comics written by Jason Aaron and Dennis Hallum, art by Steven Green. Another really just good solid issue of this book as a dad chases his son through the universe. In this issue, the son finds out that his dad is alive. There's some mix-ups there and some great action set pieces involving space. Well, what'd you think, Pete? Pete: This is just continues to be amazing. The art is really still in the show. And the characters, these are so fun and creative characters and really well drawn. It's just kind of the scary thing of, you think losing your kid in a store is bad, try losing your kid in space. Unbelievable scenario and just really over the top fun. Every issue has just been a real treat and it continues, continues to get better. Alex: Yeah, I agree. Let's move on to Marvel Zombies Resurrection, Number two, from Marvel. Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, art by Leonard Kirk. We've really been enjoying this book or at least the first issue and the preview, zero issue, whatever you want to call it. The issue that came before. As Spiderman takes Franklin and Valarie Richards to try to stop the zombie plague that has affected their universe. Alex: It was a great twist in this issue involving the Phalynx and the robots of the Marvel universe that I thought was so smart and so well done and added some of the danger in a really nice way. There's also a wonderful and sad scene with Viv Vision's daughter. Another just very good solid issue of this book. Pete: Yeah. I mean, the Punisher [crosstalk 00:26:56] before- Alex: Yeah, what did you think about that, Pete? Pete: I mean, come on. Fucking come on. But this comic is great, even though I was like, “Oh man.” But the Viv thing was just so heartbreaking. Alex: No, you can do it. Come for him. Come for Phillip Kennedy Johnson. We've had him on the show a couple of times. Come for him. You tell him what he did to your boy, the Punisher. Pete: He made a choice. He made a choice. It wasn't as upsetting as Frankie Castle. It's an interesting choice. Alex: Filings Castle? Pete: Yeah, I don't know about- Alex: Yeah. It doesn't quite work as well. It doesn't roll off the tongue. Really good book, excited to see how this potentially ties into the bigger story in the Marvel universe that's being told. That should be very cool. Alex: Next up, Ascender, Number 13 from Image Comics written by Jeff Lemire and art by Dustin Nguyen. I don't know. Every issue. This is good. The end. Pete: I mean, it's hard because it's like… It really is. Every issue is just like a painted, just unbelievable artistic feet that is like water color and beautiful and amazing. Pete: The action, the storytelling, the connecting, these Ascender, Descender worlds, it's really impressive how big the story It's great that Jeff Lemire has got to tell this giant story. And he has an amazing artist who bring it to life. Alex: I cannot believe how much it is tying into Descender at this point. I really thought it was going to be its own thing, but nope, it's basically the same story at this point. And every old character that we get back again is so exciting. Another one happens at the end of this issue, the cover of the next one promises a huge one is coming back. This is great. This is just a thrilling fantasy Sci-fi mashup that I can't wait to read every month. Pete: Yeah. And also, I just wanted to say the Driller playing hide and seek was just so nice. Alex: Great stuff. Love Driller. Pete: In the middle of all this madness. Alex: So good. Next up, one that I'm sure you liked, Pete. Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey, Number Three, from DC Comics, written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner, art by Amanda Conner. Alex: As we talked about with the two previous issues, this is just classic. Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner on a Harley Quinn, except as raunchy as they want to be. And they want to be very raunchy as usual. Alex: Harley Quinn has gotten one over the Joker, stolen the collective treasure of all the criminals in Gotham City, and they're coming for her this issue. The Birds of Prey of course, kind of hate her, but are kind of having her back at the same time. This is just so much fun to read. This is one of my favorite things coming out from Black Label. Pete: It's great. And it's also nice to see Alfred alive. And the Alfred, Batman conversation about Harley Quinn being at the Wayne Manor is hysterical and really fun. It just feels like an extension of the animated series. And I hear the voices of the characters from that. Especially Clay Face. And the hole riddled with nails joke was hysterical. I mean, those two are just a powerhouse couple and they're killing it. Alex: It's just so much fun. Amanda Conner's art is so great, and so enjoyable. So funny to read every time. Just the way that they mine jokes, like the Beaver jokes, over and over and over again. But at the same time, they're still funny and stupid in the right way. Every single issue. And not just every single issue of this book, but their entire run of Harley Quinn books. It's wild that it still works this far down the road, but it absolutely does. Pete: I just want to say, while we're still in the DC world. I did check out some of that, wasn't on the list, and I wanted to quickly talk. Batman, Joker or War zone, Number one. A lot of people are wondering about the Clown Hunter, and you do get the reveal of who the Clown Hunter is in that issue. Pete: That was driving me crazy. If that was something that you wanted to go check out, you do get to the bottom of that in that issue. Alex: Who is it? Who's Clown Hunter, Pete? Pete: Well, that's the fun thing is it's not like, oh my God, it's, you know what I mean? It's a kid who grew up in Gotham who says Batman could have saved his parents. And I was like, “Great. That's good enough for me. That makes sense.” Alex: He figured out who Batman is? Pete: Well, he just sees Batman as Batman. Alex: Oh, okay, I see what you're saying. All right. Fun stuff. Thanks for the surprise pick. Moving onto Rogue planet, Number five, from Oni press, written by Cullen Bunn and illustrated by Andy McDonald. We talked about every issue of this wild space horror book. Alex: I believe this is the last one, which I was kind of surprised by. But we get some very, I thought, satisfying answers to all the bizarre, horrific weirdness that's been going on to this planet. Pete: That's the thing. I was like, “How are they going to tie in all this madness?” Because it seemed like every issue was just, “Look at this crazier thing that's going on on this planet. Oh, you thought that was crazy, check this out.” And it just keep tightening. And then they really delivered on this issue. Such a cool explanation. So moving. Very, very cool and interesting. This book is worth it. Check this out, get it collected, whatever you want to do. You'll be happy you did. Rogue Planet is not only artistically amazing, but it's a great story. Alex: Yeah. And a little pluggy plug, we're actually going to have Cullen Bunn on our live show next month, ostensibly, to talk about varying comic stuff, but I'm sure we will bring up Rogue Planet as well. Alex: But as Pete mentioned, it's coming out in Trade, definitely pick it up there. It's worth it. Ties up really nicely. I was very happy and very surprised at how concretely everything made sense by the end. Pete: Yeah, it was really impressive. Alex: There you go. Let's talk about another horror book, The Immortal Hulk: The Threshing Place, Number one, from Marvel. Written by Jeff Lemire and art by Mike Del Mundo. This is, I believe, one of the first time somebody other than Al Ewing has written specifically an Immortal Hulk tale. We've had the Hulk pop-up in other books at this point in the Immortal Hulk form, but this is a one-off horror story set in this universe. And I love it. Alex: I wish they would do this forever. It feels like the main book, and Pete, maybe this is part of what you've responded to. I know you haven't loved the horror Hulk in general. But it really started off as these done in one, almost tales from the crypt episodes, but starring the Hulk. And we very much got away from this, for this Uber story that Al Ewing has built, which is wild and insane. And I've been loving it a very different way. Alex: But this story gets back to basics here, where it's almost like the Hulk series, but through the lens of Immortal Hulk, where Bruce Banner is traveling around, he finds a weird gamma mystery. It's very dark. It's very sad. Mike Del Mundo's art is very evocative, and Americana, while also not shying away from the horror elements, just a really good one-shot across the board. Pete: I was really, really, really impressed with this book. Jeff Lemire killed this. This was a very moving book, still in this world of Al Ewing's kind of horror version, but just there was a lot of beauty and heart in this. Whereas I feel like if you're telling a Hulk story, it's got to kind of have those things of what are we really doing here, what's really important? And the Hulk kind of helping these people and really saving this kid was so beautiful. And the whole fact of like, at least you're not alone kid, you have your father, was just very touching, really well done. Pete: I'm so happy Jeff Lemire got to tell this one shot, and it still worked in the kind of bigger picture of what Al is doing. I was really impressed by this book. Very moved by it. Alex: Yeah, I agree. I know I kind of said this before, but I could read a million of these. I hope that they just keep releasing Immortal Hulk one shots from different perspectives with different writer, artists, teams. I don't know if they will, but that would be so much fun. So we'll see what happens. Alex: Last but not least. X-ray Robot, Number Two, from Dark Horse Comics. Story and art by Michael Allred, color art by Laura Allred. If you see the names of the cover, you know exactly what you're getting into. Alex: It's a bunch of Sci-fi psychedelic weirdness involving a robot who is sucking people through multiple dimensions. There's some really goofy shit that happens in this book that is just bits, and exactly the right way, involving portals. It's much more slapstick, I think, than their usual books, but I had a fun time reading this. How'd you feel about it, Pete? Pete: Portal bits, I love it. Yeah. This was a lot of fun. It's this classic kind of like art for kind of tripped out world. I just think it's really kind of in their sweet spot and it's a really great book. If you've enjoyed any of their stuff, you will really love this book. It's definitely, really cool and really well done. Alex: I agree. And that is it for the Stack.

Steven Green - a former Sergeant in the Royal Engineers isn't your run of the mill veteran. He's what most would class as a sensational entrepreneur. Born and raised in Redcar in the Northeast of England, Steve had a particularly difficult upbringing which resulted in him later following his friends and joining the British Army and the Royal Engineers where he served in many arduous countries around the world including Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Oman. During Steve's successful military career he found a real thirst for personal development, often getting himself on education courses, learning new skills and improving his financial intellect. As a result Steve bought his first investment property in 2006. He left the army in 2010 to focus fully on property and now has over 50 properties. Today on The Best Version Of You, Steve shares with us his amazing story and also greatest passion - To help others by showing them how to create the lifestyle he has made for himself. He does this through multiple training courses and seminars around the country, and today is marked as one of the greatest property investing coaches in the UK. To date Steve has helped thousands of people create a far better lifestyle for themselves, but has also changed the lives of many by coaching them to improve their mindset. Something he goes into great detail about in his seminars and courses. It really is something to behold, and the same can be said for Steve's latest project! - To live on the streets with no contacts, help or guidance - completely homeless, with no food or money. Steve's aim is to prove to people that even as a homeless person you can still get out of the darkest hole, find a paying job, then find accommodation. This will hopefully inspire many homeless people in his home town of Redcar and around the UK. Check out the full article HERE To contact Steve you can find him on Facebook @Propertyinvestmentacademy Guys and girls. If you enjoyed this amazing episode and took away some amazing value, please leave the show a review. It means the world to me and gets my message out there to more and more people. Thank you!

I had no idea what it was going on there, and went down Fourth Street 'til Janice point ... We were going to a baseball game. She said, "That's gonna be the Museum of the Bible." I said, "What Bible?" She said, "Our Bible." Tony, believe me. I did not know, and I'm so, so pleased to meet you and so pleased to hear about the Museum of the Bible. Tony Zeiss: Good. Well, I'm very pleased to be here, and we just ... My wife and I have been here about nine months, and we love this city. It's a large city, the most active city, probably, in the world, and yet it still has that small town feel. We like it. A Ockershausen: Our Town, to us, to Janice and I, because we were both from here, and we consider Our Town Annapolis, Vienna, Virginia, part of Fredericksburg, Frederick, Maryland. They all, everybody revolves around Our Town. This is the capital city of the world in a lot of ways, and we're so fortunate to have you here and so fortunate that you could bring this museum here. Tony Zeiss: Well, let me tell you about it. I'm an educator by trade, and I've been very, very fortunate- A Ockershausen: Community College. Tony Zeiss' Journey to the Museum of the Bible Tony Zeiss: Yes. I was a president for 32 years in Colorado and then 24 ... Eight years in Colorado, 24 or so in Charlotte, which is my home. And so I was- A Ockershausen: How'd you get from Charlotte to Colorado and back? Tony Zeiss: Thank you. Well, we went from Texas to Colorado to North Carolina, and then I was gonna retire as a Community College President. In fact, I did. Of course, I prayed about it, and said, "Lord, whatever you want us to do next let us know." Well, he did. In a day and a half I got a call and they said, "We need an executive director to come up and build this new world-class Bible. It's never been done before, Andy. World-class museum to the Bible. And so I was intrigued, but I tried to wiggle out of it. I said, "I'm trying to retire," and they said, "No. You don't get it. You're the person. We need someone with leadership background" and all that. A Ockershausen: Educational background. Tony Zeiss: Education background. And so I retired December 31st of this past year and January the 3rd I started my first day here. A Ockershausen: That was the next day. The impetus for the Museum of the Bible Tony Zeiss: Yeah. But what an honor and what a wonderful mission if you think about it. Now, this case started with the Green family. That's a Hobby Lobby family. And one of the Greens, Steven Green, began collecting biblical artifacts. And it became a passion with him like it does with so many collectors. And he began to say, "They shouldn't be just for us. They shouldn't be in a warehouse someplace. A Ockershausen: We shouldn't keep them hidden. Tony Zeiss: So he started some traveling exhibits to see if people would be interested in artifacts from the Bible.

Communicators struggle to build genuine online engagement among employees using the various social tools available for intranets. Study after study shows that few employees use these tools, regardless of how much they might be engaged with external social media. At Bank of Montreal, though, Julian Mills overcame the obstacles to introduce social tools employees at all levels used to advance business goals. In this interview, FIR co-host Shel Holtz talks with Mills about the impetus for the introduction of social channels, and with TemboSocial CEO Steven Green, who worked with Mills to introduce the internal social media tools that drove the interaction on the Bank of Montreal intranet.Continue Reading → The post Julian Mills and Steven Green on social intranets appeared first on FIR Podcast Network.
Since arriving on our screens in 1984, Crimewatch has prided itself on being one of the original interactive programmes, and interactivity with the audience remains at the core of the programme today. As assistant content producer Steven Green explains, viewers have always been able to get in touch with the team of detectives working on the live shows, but new technologies and social media channels mean there are now many more ways to get in touch with the team and stay informed, with the website at the centre of them all. "You still have the studio full of police officers taking a call, but with things changing and technology changing, we enhance that." – Steven Green The main focus of Steven's job is to make sure that the site reflects the main elements of the programme including the reconstructions, wanted faces and CCTV footage. It's a big help for the presenters who refer to the site throughout the live shows, but for many users the site is their main access to appeals and police information so they need to be able to find what they need easily. In addition, whereas most programmes will be available through online media players after transmission, legal restrictions mean that Crimewatch isn't repeated and is only up on iPlayer for 24 hours. The rapid turnaround of information live on air means Steve needs to update the site quickly, so he uses content management systems like iBroadcast and iSite to get clips and information broadcast ready for the web and mobile. Steven's also tasked with making sure that the shows and appeals are promoted through Twitter, giving viewers instant access to the site and to programme information as well as passing information to detectives working on live cases. "When we’re on air and you see the e-mails coming in and Crimewatch trending on Twitter, it's like, this is real. It’s out there and people are responding and that’s great to see."
