Comic-related podcasts, NPR content, and more...

Someone just told me, last night, that Quesada, Millar, and Jenkins were on NPR's (National Public Radio) Talk of the Nation talking about the Marvel Comics crossover event, CIVIL WAR." While searching for that in podcast format, I stumbled upon the Marvel.com podcasts. I subscribed.

Some of those podcasts are as from January of 2005, so I'm surprised I'm just now hearing about this. But then, I did just get into the podcast thing. Hopefully they're good because I downloaded'em all.

By the way, I never found the podcast I was originally looking for, but here's a link to NPR's website, which has the "CIVIL WAR" segment available for streaming. Press "Listen," to do just that.

Also noteworthy are the links at the bottom of that NPR page. Apparently, comic-dom and NPR aren't strangers. There's quite a bit o' content down there related to Marvel Comics, DC Comics, comic book movies, etc.

Here's the list:

Hey, Bard.
I'm like you. I don't pay for those podcasts. It's the free ones or nothing, for me.

Otherwise, I might have to *gasp* give up comics.

Good to know, though. Thanks.

(And congrats, again, on graduating!)
