Fantastic show. Over 500 episodes with out missing a week... Desmond pulls out some great movies, books and comics from creators from around the world. The fact that he doesn't white wash anything makes him a reliable reviewer. The music he picks off the top of his head is always spot on and nothing less than amazing.
You can always do worse than Dread Media.
Desmond shows a passion for his craft and the genre
I listen primarily for the segments with Rich, the Monster Movie Kid. However, I could easily expand to enjoy the entire show.
Des and co, really put on a great show. Really enjoy the format (very professional magazine format) and the smart, literate reviews. Excellent.
Does this qualify me for the contest? Look I even gave you five stars as an enticement.
