Wed, 19 Apr 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Mike, Paloma and Nick talk comics they've been reading and have a small discussion about on A Flag To Fly #1.

Note: Nick's audio sounds a little robotic due to a recording issue -- we have not replaced him with an AI Bot!

ircbpodcast@gmail.com (Kara Szamborski, Kait Lamphere, Brian Murray) — Wed, 30 Oct 2019 10:01:08 +0000

This episode was recorded on October 27th, 2019!

On this very important episode of the I Read Comic Books podcast, Brian, Kait, and Kara discuss They Called Us Enemy, our November Goodreads Book of the Month! Author George Takei (best known for his role as Hikaru Sulu on Star Trek: The Original Series) opens up about his childhood spent in the internment camps the United Stated government sent west coast Japanese Americans to following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Equal parts touching and horrifying, this graphic novel memoir is high on our recommendation list for absolutely everyone. Seriously, if you first heard the term “Japanese internment camp” right now, please read this graphic novel immediately.

Minisode 18 | Grant Morrison

ircbpodcast@gmail.com (Kara Szamborski, Paul Jaissle) — Wed, 25 Jul 2018 10:01:53 +0000

This episode was recorded some time in the past!

At one point, Kara had asked Paul, “What the deal was with Grant Morrison?” And so, Paul, he strapped himself into a rocket ship aimed towards the center of the multiverse to search out that information. When he returned, he met his past self in their past lives. He saw beyond time and before everything. Kara was always a constant. She was not swept away by the multiverse for she had to know the answers: WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH GRANT MORRISON? What transpired when the two finally met on the other side of forever is what was recorded for this minisode.

Enjoy.

This episode was recorded on October 1st, 2017.

This week, Kara and Rene join Mike to discuss comics and underwear, but really: What it means to be that comic book friend among your group of peers. How do you recommend comics to folks who you know won’t read them? And what do you do to share your interest without being overbearing?

This episode was recorded on November 20th, 2016. The show this week features Nick and Kate talking all about those pesky cultural references and “memes” in comic books. However, at the end of the day, there are some books that do this well and others that don’t. This episode dives into finding where the line is drawn. Also, Nick coins the term “fandering.” This is the final week! If you haven’t already taken it, please take the I Read Comic Books Listener survey!

This week’s episode was recorded on October 9th, 2016. While Mike (and Tia) were off at NYCC, Nick hosted the show this week with Brian and Kate. The show this week focused on retconning in comics and when it’s good or bad (specifically in Big 2 books).

This week’s episode was recorded on October 2nd, 2016. Tia and Kate join Mike this week to talk all about comics–as usual. However, this week, the episode was focused on how both Tia and Kate got into comics and what it’s been like since they started reading.
