Thanks to my House Show co-host, the Educator, I recently attended my second con ever. Anchor Con was held in Clayton, NY last week and I spent all day there on Sunday. I bought some cool things. I interviewed cool people. And at the end of the weekend, and the end of this podcast, I did some introspective thinking of where my life is going next. Bear with me for this episode. Check out the awesome people I interviewed and take a look at their merchandise. I give a vague life update, but you can figure it out. Moving forward in life is tough but it helps to hear from inspiring creators and there is a lot of that on today's show.

From the Kickstarter description:

The New Amsterdam Game is a proposed series of one-shot comics about the mysterious Gooseberry, a masked vigilante bedeviling British troops in Revolutionary New York City. A sword-swinging, action-packed story, The New Amsterdam Game follows in the steps of Zorro, The Princess Bride, and The Count of Monte Cristo.

"Gooseberry's Midnight Ride" is designed to act as an introduction to the key characters and setting of The New Amsterdam Game. Every New Amsterdam Game story can be read separately, or all together as one saga - no complicated backstories, no convoluted storylines. Just pick up, and enjoy!

On today's episode, Kevin sits down with Jason Martin. We discuss the current Kickstarter for Jason's new comic PRINCE-S STARthief. Jason tells all about the first issue, and what the second issue has in store. We go over Jason's comic book origins and all of the other great stories you can expect from Pulp Girls.

PRINCE-S STARthief is an epic sexy sci-fi full of pop culture winks, nods, and satire. Large conglomerates rule the stars, the worst of which is the devious PEP-C co.  One woman knows what they're hiding. Something special, something personal, something she is tired of searching for so she's taking the action right to their door.
 
There is still time to back the PRINCE-S STARthief Kickstarter.

The Hot Tag is over and the era of Hellions Talks officially begins. To celebrate the rechristening, today’s guest is one I’ve wanted to have since day one.

Joe Sposto is a co-host for Longbox Heroes, Longbox Heroes After Dark, and At Odds with Wrestling. He has done commentary for hundreds of matches for many wrestling companies. Joe’s knowledge of wrestling history is second only to the amount of wrestling stories he was present for. Kevin and Joe discuss independent wrestling, podcasting, fatherhood, and so much more.

This is an amazing one on one talk, and hopefully the first of many. If you enjoy hearing Joe’s voice and stories, please follow his podcasts online and download them through your favorite RSS feed catcher.

Listen to Longbox Heroes, After Dark, and follow the Twitter account. 

Listen to At Odds with Wrestling, and follow the Twitter account.  

You can follow Joe’s Twitter exploits like Terry Tuesday and more on his account.
