Podcasting ain’t easy. For a pod to be discovered by its intended audience, it really helps if the show has a steady flow of reviews and ratings on iTunes. It would mean the world to me if you went over to iTunes and left a rating and review for the podcast. Also don’t forget to subscribe, and for imaginary bonus points share the podcast with your fellow comic book pals on social media and encourage them to check it out. Thanks in advance for all of your support!

On Episode 19 of Certified Comic Talk, I’m joined by Brendan Conrad, the founder and creator of Comic Query — The Comic Book Store Search Engine. Brendan stops by to talk about how he came up with the idea to build a search engine that connects comic collectors to the online comic shops that have the books they’re trying to buy. We also talk comics in general, being a comic-preneur, the spec market, and Brendan’s other passion project, Moneyball Comics.
