SDConCast - The Official Podcast of the San Diego Comic-Con Unofficial Blog

It's the Fourth of July week in the states, while we wait for the official schedule to drop starting Thursday we decided to take some podcast R&R this week. In lieu of a new episode, we're posting the audio from our live COMIC-CON EPISODE IV: A FAN'S HOPE movie reunion we did a few weeks back, for those who haven't yet listened to it. We'll see you later this week with coverage of the SDCC programming schedule as it's announced. Enjoy your holiday!

We didn't have a special guest on this week's show (believe us, we tried), but instead we were surprised by the appearance of a travelling Shawn and welcomed our new member, Kerry Dixon, to the SDConCast crew. She's a natural!

We're in full Comic-Con swing with tons of news, panel reveals and tips from the pros. The truth is definitely out there!

Today we bring you a very special episode - our interview with David Glanzer, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Comic-Con International. You know, the organization that is responsible for all the awesomeness that is San Diego Comic-Con? We ask him our readers' most pressing questions: Why the badge giveaway? When will the programming schedule be released? Why do shows like Castle not make the cut? And more.

David doesn't only just work for CCI, he's a fan just like the rest of us. So rest assured that he's looking out for all of us in making this year's convention the best ever.

After listening to this interview, we're sure you'll agree. We thank David and the CCI staff for making this interview possible.

After a year of waiting and months of planning, the big week finally arrived. It was a grueling four-plus days for James and Jeremy, but they thought it was so awesome they sat down and relived every awesome moment for the SDConCast wrap-up show.

Since there was so much to cover, the wrap-up show is being broken up into two parts. The first part covered Preview Night, Thursday and Friday. This second part covers Saturday, Sunday, and our best and worst picks of the show.
