  • Ugh. Slow Down!

    Dude. Slow down and enunciate your words. It’s not just rambling. Combination of mush mouth, speed talking and very clearly not doing a practice run (or several) before throwing the podcast up. Content is not that bad (but not great) but should learn some basic broadcasting skills before creating a podcast. Would suggest checking out “Stuff You Should Know,” Titan up the Defense,” or even Alex Baldwins podcast to get an idea how to talk clearly, slowly and cleanly.

    My original review said that though this podcast is rich in little-known info, it’s ruined by the host’s horrible narration! (C’mon, at least learn that the subjects of this thing are COMIC BOOKS, not “Com-biks”!)

    But after sampling other podcasts on the same subject, I’ve found this one contains more juicy tidbits on my favorite thing in the world, Golden Age Com-Biks”!

    The factoids about Martin Goodman, Jerry Siegel, Fiction House, et al, keep me coming back...

    JT, I used to teach broadcasting... more
