Continuing the podcast bandwagon that I’m on, I joined Fred Kennedy on the Issue Zero podcast for a minisode where we discuss some of the things that I’m enjoying during this self-isolation. I give recs for movies, video games, TV shows, board games, and comics! Check it out and maybe find something new to enjoy for the weekend. Or the week. Whatever floats your boat!
From the Issue Zero Podcast web site:
This week we continue our look at what content people are consuming during quarantine. We talk to writer/editor Steph Cooke about what she’s been reading/watching/playing since the Covid-19 shut down began.
I also go on a rant about how I am once again obsessed with a videogame that was first released in 2003…because I am an old man with no taste.

At the beginning of the month, my podcast family and I reunited for a very special episode of Talking Comics. Some of you may not be familiar with my podcast life, but for several years, I was a part of this podcast alongside Bobby, Steve, and Bob. It’s been quite a while since we were all together so as a nice April Fools joke, we gathered to do a little reunion.
Here’s the post from the Talking Comics web site:

NOW on SPOTIFY!
April showers be damned! The night might be dark and full of terrors, but the Talking Comics crew is here, and we’re ready to social distance the hell out of some comic books! On this week’s show, Bobby recants his journey through the CW’s Arrowverse, in addition to sharing his thoughts about Die from Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans. Meanwhile, Bob brings some of his favorite characters to the show, including Wonder Woman, Star, Amethyst, and of course, the Fantastic Four! As we make our way down the line, we find Stephanie conjuring a witch-centric lightning round packed with plenty of YA graphic novels. And then, last but certainly not least, Steve goes wild for Marvel’s Hellions as well as Vin Diesel’s Bloodshot! Don’t be fooled by this week’s show, dear listeners, because just like the Transformers, there’s more to this episode than meets the eye! There are no show notes for this week’s podcast because, well … you’ll see. Mwuahaha!
Comics talked this week: Seven Days #8, Wonder Woman #754, Star #3, X-Men/Fantastic Four #3, Amethyst #2, Shadow of the Batgirl, Guts, Witchlight, The Okay Witch, The Witch Boy, Hellions #1.
We’ve been in self-isolation for varying amounts of time at this point, but for many of us, it’s been a while. Since I know that we’re all just doing our best right now and trying to find ways to pass the time, I wanted to share some short stories for you to enjoy.
I hope that you enjoy them, and if you like what you see, please feel free to pass them along and share.
