Another podcast recommendation: 3 Chicks Review Comics

3 Chicks Review ComicsTime for another in our occasional series of podcast recommendations: 3 Chicks Review Podcasts. As the name may (or may not) suggest, this is a weekly (or sometimes more frequent) podcast in which three women review comics and usually interview someone important comics-wise.

The three chicks in question are:

  1. Sue from the rather good DC Women Kicking Ass
  2. Maddy from When Fangirls Attack! and
  3. Kelly Thompson of 1979 Semi-Finalist and Comic Book Resources’ Comics Should Be Good

It’s quite a long podcast at up to an hour and a half per episode, but it does have three people who clearly know and love their subject matter, looking over the best and worst comics of the week. They’ve also had some great interviews, including Brian Chiang, who’s doing the artwork for the latest Wonder Woman run. Give it a try.

My radio career starts here (or something)

I was on Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition last night! Woo! Actually, I was on it last week for all of two sentences but they were good enough apparently to get me back on this week to have another go at talking about the coming season of US TV. If you want to listen to my shiny opinions of The Playboy Club, Pan Am, Castle, Parks & Recreation, Terra Nova, Falling Skies, Wilfred, In Treatment, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and – amazingly – Who’s The Boss, fingers crossed the embedded player will let you for the next week at least (don’t know if this will work in the US). My bit begins at 2h16mins in or thereabouts and lasts for about 20 minutes.
