Drunk on comics is a podcast about comics, conventions, and all other things nerdy.
In the “off the shelf” section of the show, the guys review all the biggest comics releases of the week. Each member of the team takes their own pick of the week, and tells you all about it. All these guys absolutely know their stuff, and you can really hear the passion and the inner fan coming through.
“Kevin’s Longbox” is where Kevin looks at a comic from the past, which more often than not makes me search eBay instantly.
With “news and notes” the guys go over all the geeky news that has made the headlines any given week. If its comics or movie or tv, it all gets covered and more.
The section “Indy Turnpike” Derek picks up a book that is published by a company outside the big 2 publishers. Often it opens up a lot of people to books that they may not have even heard about. It’s a great opportunity to see comics from smaller companies that will often not make most people’s shelves.
“InterWebs” is a website that Tony looks at which could be from any part of the nerd world, whether its a web comic, or a nerd blog, just a fun website for you to check out
“Booze and a book” is a great section where the guys pair a comic book release, with an alcoholic beverage. As you may guess from the title comics are often paired with alcohol but this section gives a specific comic to a certain drink.
In the middle of all this awesome, Derek, Tony, Matt, and Kevin (The Fearsome Foursome) often go off on a different topic, as they see fit (or just wish to interrupt, haha) which results in a lot of fun.
This podcast was the first podcast I’ve ever subscribed too. I know there is a LOT of others out there but this one is so appealing because the guys are just 4 friends sitting around talking about something they love. This is the sort of thing you imagine would happen if you sit around with your friends. It’s very well done, the guys really know their stuff but they have a blast talking about it.
I really enjoy every single episode of “Drunk On Comics” and I can’t recommend this podcast enough, it’s really well put together. Please take some time out to go check out the website www.drunkoncomics.com, where you can find all the awesome podcasts, as well as the artists alley section, and just a whole lot of cool stuff.
Either check it out on the website, or subscribe to the podcast on iTunes.
I give this podcast “Two Mugs Up” and I really hope that everyone reading this goes and checks it out, I know you won’t regret it!!!
