While on holiday in the UK, Jimmy also attended the Thought Bubble Festival comic convention. He got 19 interviews total. In this episode, you'll hear his chat with his good pal/fellow podcaster Barry Nugent. Barry talks about his work as a writer and founding/hosting the Geek Syndicate podcast (and its spin-offs). He and Jimmy talk about the first day of the con, the differences growing up in the 80s in the UK vs the US, podcasting, K-Pop Demon Hunters, current fave comics/TV/film and just what they thought of that Alice in Borderland season 3 finale.

And that's it for the Thought Bubble Festival coverage! Thanks to everyone for taking the time and to the powers that be at TBubs (that's what us cool kids call it) for putting on another great convention! Go back and check out all the great interviews Jimmy got at the show.
