Talking With Mar finds our in apartment librarian talking about books, movies, programs, and everything else about her life with that "carpet from the 80's"

In this episode we talk with artist and writer Leigh Dragoon about art, adapting from other peoples work such as the Vampire Academy graphic novels,her start doing web comics with Girlamatic, as well as writing prose books for the Adventure Time universe, Fraggle Rock, and a upcoming Little Women witches book from Oni Press. We end up also discussing the old days of making art online, cats, Dragonlance, learning from long time bad habits and getting better as storytellers, and all this after I was freaking out as my laptop had crashed 10 minutes before we were suppose to start recording.

Someone is zombifying athletes at Clear Cut High School in Utah. Lucky the school has its own young superhero in the person of Mildred Betbeze to try and figure out what's going on. Pep rallies, cheerleaders, new kids in the neighborhood are just some of things our hero and her sidekick slash best friend Aisha have to deal with in the first book in Tin Universe's middle grade series.

Check out the pilot of Tin Pod Radios new show. Shortlisted, the podcast where we take a Top Ten list off the internet, because there are a few, and talk about in a timed out amount of space. We just set a clock, talk for an hour, and then shut up no matter if we've made it through the list or not. We're not racing against time, we're shortlisting our big mouths.

This month's Top Ten list is: 10 Secret Space Mission Conspiracies, found on listverse.com Your hosts in these are Eryn Pluim and Brian C. Williams.

Conspiracy Theories have always been around. Rumors, lies, propaganda, all things to usher in the powerful and control the weak. But what we consider a conspiracy theory in a modern world is more towards someone having to find answers not there, or maybe hidden within falsehoods and conjecture to help them through their day to day lives. Are conspiracy theories dangerous, are they any different than believing in a religion or a comic book character, and do they even exist anymore in a information age of misinformation? Question we could ask today but probably wont.

In this special Talking With Mar we journey to Orlando- the land of Lou Pearlman tax drains and streets you warn tourists about. We met Brother Love, James E. Cornette, and fell under the spell of a giant belt. All that and we talked some about Wrestlemania itself. Also a bit about library programs, current reads, and Mar's love of Jeff Hardy.

*Note: There will be no Blackest Omen this month because our librarian was busy working on Spring Break programs.

After a good long talk was lost in the ether of the internet writer D.J. Kirkbride was nice to pay Tin Pod a return visit and we again talked again about his new book The Once And Future Queen from Dark Horse Comics. We talked in length about also about writing, writing with a partner, and writing for comics. It's a good listen for anyone interested in writing and writing for comics for sure.

You can find D.J. on Twitter: @DJKirkbride / Visit his website: http://www.djkirkbride.com/  And you can read a preview of THE ONCE AND FUTURE QUEEN #1: https://www.darkhorse.com/Comics/3000-017/The-Once-and-Future-Queen-1

The Triumvirate wanted to podcast record watching Twister with tornados in the area but no one wanted to pay for it on Amazon so the plan was to live podcast about Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby but not so much, but so much talking about everything else. The end is as sudden as a.... Well, it's not as sudden as me trying to find someting that is sudden to compare it to.

S.N.M.N. Is a podcast where three friends spent a good couple hours together eating, drinking. letting off steam, and being best friends for ever and eva. It's a mess to edit this maddness but a lot of fun to be there. NOTE: I don't edit the ones when we watch movies but to add bleeps to protect the us.

The Triumvirate watches Deadpool, talks Deadpool, drinks, talks cosplaying Deadpool, and one of us ends up snoring by the end. The volume is a bit high, really high on the movie. Sorry about that and I need to do a better job as host of moving and creating conversation during these. What we wish to happen as we get better is for someone to watch the movie while listening and for that to be a fun enjoyable thing when we do these types of episodes but we need to step our game up.
