Everything is Awesome

From THE BRAD AND CHUCK PODCAST, Chuck Staton joins this week's show! Chuck and Kev chat about podcasting and content creation, in addition to Chuck's gig with the boys from TELL 'EM STEVE-DAVE. Before that, we hear how it all started with Chuck Staton, a band, a website, and a podcast.

Chuck Staton is a Providence-based comedian, musician, and filmmaker. You can hear him on the Chuck and Brad Podcast, or with his band, Senior Discount. He's also a writer for Motif Magazine and is the official Tell 'Em Steve-Dave filmographer.

Kev takes a moment to reflect on Stan Lee—the modern day Mark Twain that has touched nearly everyone's life.

Stan Lee was an American comic book writer, editor, and publisher who was active from the 1940s to the 2010s. He rose through the ranks of a family-run business to become Marvel Comics' primary creative leader for two decades, leading its expansion from a small division of a publishing house to a multimedia corporation that dominated the comics industry.

In collaboration with others at Marvel—particularly co-writer/artists Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko—he co-created numerous popular fictional characters, including superheroes Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Black Panther, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch and Ant-Man. In doing so, he pioneered a more naturalistic approach to writing superhero comics in the 1960s, and in the 1970s he challenged the restrictions of the Comics Code Authority, indirectly leading to changes in its policies. In the 1980s he pursued development of Marvel properties in other media, with mixed results. Following his retirement from Marvel in the 1990s, he remained a public figurehead for the company, and frequently made cameo appearances in films based on Marvel characters, on which he received an honorary "executive producer" credit. Meanwhile, he continued independent creative ventures into his 90s, until his death in 2018.

Lee was inducted into the comic book industry's Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1995. He received the NEA's National Medal of Arts in 2008.
