Great show! Are all Brits like this?

One of my favorite comics-related podcasts. Living in New England is as close as I get to being British but in a perfect world, I imagine all British folk to be like the hosts (They’re probably shaking their heads right now). Excellent conversations and interviews and while they lean towards the small press/independent creators, they’re not afraid to bring the big publishers, artists and writers into the mix. I appreciate their honest reviews and I feel like I should be drinking a pint while listening to them.

Great discussion

Great in depth comic book talk without the focus on the big 2 and super heroes. It’s like a UK version of 11 O’clock Comics if you’re into that show you’ll find plenty of good recommendations here.

Like this podcast before it's cool

Hey, you're a cool guy right? You're up on the hip trends. You know that Marvel and DC are for dorks. Real fans read indie comics. Listen to this podcast and learn all about comic creators before they sell out and go corperate and when they leave and do passion projects. Hosts are smart and hold a vast knowledge of indie comics that makes this podcast well worth listening to.
