From 2013: When I saw a tease for "Sexytime: The Post-Porn Rise of the Pornoisseur," it was a book after my own nostalgic heart -- even if I don't know exactly what a "Pornoisseur" is.

Joining me to explain it all is Jacques Boyreau, co-editor with Peter Van Horne of Sexytime.

From 2013: "Shelf Life," now in its fourth season of short, brutally funny-yet-crude episodes, was created by the husband-and-wife team of Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt, who play Bug Boy and Hero Lass, respectively. In addition to their characters, other off-the-shelf players include Hero Man, Samurai Snake and Black Velvet. If you've been skeptical of the world of TV series created specifically for the web, Shelf Life is a good excuse to indulge your curiosity.

When I heard about the first volume of TwoMorrows Publishing's new series, American Comic Book Chronicles, I had to see it. Volume One, written by John Wells and edited by my guest today, Keith Dallas, is packed with industry anecdotes and behind-the-scenes tales of not just the birth of the Marvel Age and the rebirth of DC Comics, but it also tells many stories I hadn't read before involving lesser publishers such as Charlton, Dell, Gold Key, Harvey and ACG.

From 2013: I can't imagine what it must have been like to be musician Levon Helm. So much raw talent, so much enthusiasm for what he did in life, so many loyal friends and anonymous admirers... and yet so much personal and professional frustration. Most of us know Helm best from the 1978 Martin Scorsese documentary, The Last Waltz, which captured the break up of The Band, in which Helm was a vital part alongside Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko and the rest.

From 2013: Sam Dawson began with an interesting concept: I'm not as old as the world thinks I am. Then she went out and found 70 more women who felt exactly as she does. They don't think, feel or act old. Sometimes they're conservative; sometimes they're liberal. Sometimes they ache all over; sometimes they get that old familiar spring in their step. And sometimes -- sometimes -- they'd like a little good ol' fashioned, um, intimacy. Yup, that's the word: Intimacy.

From 2013: A few interesting facts about Matthew Ziff:

• He has been modeling professionally since he was two months old;

• He attended the University of Miami (as did I, at least for my freshman year);

• He has 1.6 million followers on his verified Twitter account;

• And, get this: in July, 2012, he represented the USA in the International Quidditch Association's Summer Games during the Olympic Torch Relay in England, where Team USA won the Gold medal.

From 2013: "My Brother the Devil" stars James Floyd. What may surprise many viewers is that this testosterone-driven indie drama was written and directed by a woman, Sally El-Hosaini, making her feature film debut. It may take a few more successful efforts, but don't be surprised to one day hear her name mentioned in the same breath as Zero Dark Thirty and The Hurt Locker director Kathryn Bigelow.

From 2013: "Baby Blues" daily comic strip creators Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott were on Mr. Media a couple years ago but I invited Rick back today to talk about the new collection and also to discuss his nomination this year by the National Cartoonists Society as Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year. It is a very tough candidate class, too: besides Kirkman, Stephan Pastis of "Pearls Before Swine" and Brian Crane of "Pickles" are also nominated.

From 2013: Geri' Jewells path forward began on the stage of The Comedy Store on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard, and eventually led to several seasons as "Cousin Geri" on NBC's top-rated "The Facts of Life" and HBO's cult favorite "Deadwood," on which she played "Jewell" in Al Swearingen's whorehouse bar. Geri published her autobiography, "I'm Walking as Straight as I Can: Transcending Disability in Hollywood and Beyond," a title that references her battles with both Cerebral Palsy and gender identity.

From 2013: Herb Snitzer began his career in Manhattan in 1957 and his work appeared prominently over the years in all the magazines and newspapers that mattered during his era. He also made his mark in the world of music, capturing enduring images of Miles Davis, Nina Simone, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane and Count Basie. More recently, and as a resident of the Tampa Bay area, his work as a civil rights activist has brought him new renown.
