Host Anthony Desiato celebrates Independence Day with former Alternate Realities customer and onetime webmaster Caralyn Hylenski in Part X of "The LongAR Halloween."

The LongAR Halloween Part X: Independence Day

For nearly a decade, host Anthony Desiato explored the culture, business, and fandom of the comics retail industry on this podcast series. In 2015, New York’s Alternate Realities closed after 23 years in operation, a community united to say farewell, and a podcast was born. The series continued with deep dives into collecting, national comics retail, conventions, Westchester County’s lost shops, and more. The show signed off for good in 2023 with a quarterly farewell event entitled “For All Seasons” — but the AR community lasts forever.
