WB/DC’s lack of sticktoitiveness is put under a microscope. Additionally bad Canadian zombie jokes are made and we find out Marvel is run by a turbo-dick.

It’s National Podcast Day

Standard

Today, September 30th is National Podcast Day. I just wanted to take a moment to share some podcasts I dig with with you. Podcasting is often done for no money, and more often costs the people who do it money. Maybe you can’t give all the podcasts you love some money, but you can certainly let them know you listen and you appreciate what they do. I’m going to list a bunch of podcasts I listen to as my way of showing my appreciation to all these cool folks who have provided me with hundreds of hours of free entertainment. Follow me

9/11- (not comics) Listening to that day again.

Standard

Since this is the 13th anniversary of the tragedy of September 11th, 2001, I decided to revisit that very day in audio form. Thanks to the archive of PaintYourBaldSpot.com a site that has collected years of the Don and Mike show, you can listen to the show from that day. Don and Mike were broadcasting from WNEW in Manhattan that day, as well as being on their home station on WJFK. To hear it again, not as a “this happened over a decade ago” but, to hear them go on the air that day, to hear the the confusion as information comes in, is both heartbreaking and fascinating. Listening to them take calls that day you hear the shock, confusion, anger, and more importantly people pulling together as one. They call out CNN for getting their graphics department for their America Under Attack graphics, and interviewing Tom Clancy. As my kids get older, I think we may listen to this again, so they can get a sense of this day… Thank you Don, Mike, Robb and Buzz for doing their best during a horrible, confusing time, thank you to PYBS for having this archive available. But more importantly thank you to all of the emergency services personnel who worked tirelessly in the wake of an unimaginable tragedy. My heart goes out to everyone who lost family, friends and loved ones that day.
