  • Just be a political channel.

    Each and every interview starts with a 30 minute discussion about politics. I've tried this channel a number of times. I love the intro and the enthusiasm, I just wish it wasn't directed to how crappy america is. How has being unpatriotic become the "cool kid" thing to do. Everyone hates this place, but yet nobody will leave. And spill in from the millions. Thanks for the consistent dose of politics.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jared Cullum on Kodi - A Place to Call Home
Q: Why did you decide to complicate Katya and Kodi's relationship in Book 2?
To avoid a simplistic happily-ever-after and to explore growth, vulnerability, and the consequences of letting life pressures shape the dynamic between the two characters.
Jared Cullum on Kodi - A Place to Call Home
Q: What is your relationship with the concept of friendship, and how does that inform Kodi's story?
Friendship is a core scaffold for Kodi, but the journey in Book 2 shows that relationships require ongoing work, listening, and the willingness to grow together rather than stay static.
Dan Schkade on Lavender Jack
Q: What was the creative impulse behind Lavender Jack and its blend of pulp adventure with modern concerns?
The project started as a playful riff influenced by Jeeves and Wooster and evolved into a serious pulp-adventure with a modern sensibility, using 1900s aesthetics to explore class disparity, gender and racial equality, and the responsibility of power, while still delivering rapid, episodic storytelling.
SDCC Day Four: Michael Molcher and Chloe Maveal on 2000 AD
Q: How has podcasting and hosting across time zones affected how you read and discuss 2000 AD?
The time-zone juggling is an ongoing joke, but it underscores the adaptability and collaborative spirit of the Thrill-Cast team, which keeps the discussion energetic and accessible for listeners worldwide.
SDCC Day Four: Michael Molcher and Chloe Maveal on 2000 AD
Q: What does the US release of 2000 AD mean for you as fans and marketers?
It democratizes access to a weekly, highly compressed, multi-story format and gives new readers a direct path to explore beloved stories while expanding the brand's footprint in the US market.
