Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Recommend some comics podcasts

I've got my podcast feed caught up, so I'm in the market for some new comics podcasts. Any suggestions? I prefer index shows that take a particular title, run, or era and go through it issue by issue. And while this is less of a requirement, I do prefer shows that can poke affectionate fun of a book's dated/cheesy/overdone aspects, over shows that treat comics commentary as Very Serious Business. I'm currently listening to:

Titan Up the Defense: After the previous iteration of "Teen Titans Wasteland" covered the entire 60s/70s Titans books, this recently relaunced incarnation now alternates between the Wolfmam/Perez Titans and the original 70s Defender comics.

The Bwah-Hah-Hah podcast: A monthly podcast devoted, you will not be surprised to hear, to the Giffen/DeMatteis Justice League.

X-Aspirations: a husband and wife team covering the X-Men, starting from #1 in the silver age and having just completed the Dark Phoenix saga. This podcast has slowed way down, but they still manage to get out a few new episodes every year.

Our very own Exnihil has a terrific podcast on DC magic & supernatural characters, from the silver age on up. You can find it here:

Thanks for the plug Dave (and welcome back, other Dave!)


So... podding it forward, allow me to recommend a few that I dig:



First and foremost for any Legion fan is, of course The Legion of Substitute Podcasters:

http://www.legionofsubstitutepodcasters.com

Not strictly chronological, rather it interweaves several chronological waves. So, like, you'll get a stretch of the Adventure run, then some Baxter, then 3-boot, etc. They are in their eighth year and I highly recommend it. (Especially episode #425... where I did a guest appearance )



Also on the Legion front, though sadly defunct, was Super Future Friends:

They were absolutely hilarious in their chronological Silver Age reviews, but - I believe - retired the show to focus on their art.



Also hilarious, and still ongoing, is a show I really dig, called Comics Talk Comics:

http://comicstalkcomics.libsyn.com

It's three stand-up comedians (who also happen to be comic fans) reviewing the worst comics in their collections. Rated PG at times.



Not strictly comics, but well worth a listen, is a show called Dorkness to Light:

an examination of the intersection of religion and geek culture. At a bare minimum, episode 7 (their review of DC's Kingdom Come) is amazing.



That's off the top of my head, I'll likely add a few more later.

There's also a fairly new Legion of Superheroes podcast at the Major Spoilers site, The Legion Clubhouse.

Two episodes so far, on the very early issues.
