Great ep guys. Know its very, very early, but if McMafia, 3rd season of Gomorra and 4th season of Inside No.9 do not feature in the TV section of your end of year all media wrap up then you’re watching the wrong shows
Heya, according to the back matter on Astro City 50, this issue is a sequel, of sorts, to the one-shot story The Nearness of You from back in 1997.
Yeah, the guy running the support group is the same guy from the 1/2 issue whose wife was wiped out of existence by a Crisis on Infinite Earths style timeline change.
Hey
Really enjoyed the show as usual
Just wondering, did you read detective comics annual.
I completely loved it
It was like the animated series feet of clay all over again
I didn’t read it.
I was finally moved to check out Mack Weldon.
Damnnn- 24.00 a pair boxerr briefs – even with the discount code- that’s like a pair of pants.
Are they That much better than a good pair of Jockeys?
Anyone bought some?
No, but I have used Harry’s razors because of their sponsorship of the show and I really like their product.
It’s funny if you listen to a lot of podcasts you start to see these endorsements come in waves then recede to be replaced by the next wave of endorsements. As an outsider looking in it seems like the pool of podcast advertisers is smaller than it should be considering how ubiquitous it seems podcasting has become. It’s totally fills the space talk radio would for me when I was younger. I can’t remember the last time I turned my radio on in the car.
It’s a real shame that the economy of podcasting keeps it from being a full time job. I know very few podcasters that actually use it as their primary source of income. That said at the same time it’s nice that an entity like iFanboy is allowed to be divorced from the problems plaguing modern media outlets. Specifically things like listicles, hyperbolically provocative headlines and dubious overlap between your advertisers and the subjects of your reviews.
I’m with Josh on this. I work from home as well. It really is the background way of getting through something. Plus, you don’t have the wasted time of commuting. I realize myself that I actually get through quite a bit, but sometimes don’t feel like I do.
