Rob Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Anyone listen to The Golden Age of Comics podcast, by Bill Jordain? (Yes, this is somewhat of a crosspost from General, but I wanted to ask Golden Age fans about the Golden Age podcast.) I love it. If you have an iPod, I would highly recommend checking it out. I wanted to rant about another podcast to GA fans. I'm listening to one called Comic Geek Speak, and am frustrated at their distaste for the Golden Age. I guess it shows my passion for the era. One listener wrote in and criticized them for not including Jay Garrick in their Flash spotlight. Their response was that they just don't know anything about Jay, as they never read GA Flash. OK, maybe it's not their bag. But then, in the episode I listened to tonight, they did a spotlight in the JSA. One guy said he was never interested in the JSA, because whenever he thought about them, he pictured "those Golden Age covers, and was turned off". What?!?! That's what I love about the Golden Age, the excitement I feel when I see a GA cover. They went on for a half hour about how GA art is bad, and the stories are hokey. It frustrated me to hear these smug nerds go off on the Golden Age, and I had to rant to some fellow GA fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's dreck in every era and a lot folks take a look at one thing from an era and paint it all with that same brush. Then again, it does mean less competition.

rob_react Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 If you have an iPod, I would highly recommend checking it out. As note for those who might unfamiliar with the concept, you don't need an iPod to listen or subscribe to podcasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just an MP3 (or other audio file) of a talk show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrin_Radd Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Thank you for the info! I've been looking for a podcast on GA comics ever since people were asking Ian to do one after he completed his DC set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightsofold Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Anyone know where to get these? They were really informative and a shame if lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
