Longbox Review

In July, 2019, I was asked to join Behind the Podcast host Adamo Barbieri, along with other guest Mike Rapin of the I Read Comic Books podcast, to talk about why I podcast, why I love comic books so much, and what keeps me podcasting. GetVokl.com has given me permission to rebroadcast that fun conversation to you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did being a part of it!

This episode I talk about the two (count 'em 2!) vacations I went on this year. First, a joint birthday gift trip my wife and I gave each other: a week in Scotland! Then, a week in Boise for my granddaughter's birthday and a few days on the Oregon coast with the family. Plus, what I read while in the car, watched after we returned, and some other tidbits along the way.

I also talk about the Sean Connery Bond films, Avengers: Endgame, Game of Thrones, the Chris Daughtry concert with Dan Layus as the opening act, and some new podcasts I'm listening to: Meanwhile at the Podcast and White Lies. I end the show talking a bit about how I love the trust we podcasters have with each other.
