Three guys talking about comics but they manage to make it informative and entertaining. It's my favorite podcast by far. Check out their site at iFanboy.com (http://www.ifanboy.com/) and you'll see that they do two types of shows. The audio show features a Pick of the Week then talk about recent comics along with listener mail. Their videocast at Revision3.com (http://www.revision3.com/) features a wider range of topics like graphic novels, convention interviews and human relationships.

And when I say "two types" I mean "three types" because every once in awhile they'll do an extra podcast. This week they interviewed, AT LENGTH, Jim McCann, the Marvel marketing/PR guy - very informative and interesting even if you're not reading Marvel titles.

WHY ARE YOU POSTING THIS HERE, TAD?
Please. No shouting. This Saturday's videocast will focus on all things HELLBOY! I have no idea of the content but I remember the show where these guys rediscovered Hellboy and resolved to read all the TPBs. It's not like they'll be interviewing Mike, Scott, Dave or anyone else connected to the comic but I bet it'll be a neat examination of the character... which you can then tear apart and correct here or in their forums.

I highly suggest getting to know Josh, Ron and Conor by downloading some of their earlier videocasts before Saturday. Find the old episodes on iTunes.

This has been a public service announcement.

revision3 is generally pretty great quality videocasts. I've been following most of these guys since their TechTV days. It's good to see that they're getting some more mainstream success.

The Totally Rad Show is also a fun one at rev3.

Okay, I know it's preaching to the choir when it comes to this board but the Hellboy episode is now available. Ron, Josh and Conor have joined the ranks of true believers. Go to iFanboy.com or download it from iTunes.


Sweet!!

I'm watching the Hellboy episode right now. Pretty good intro for folks who are on the fence about reading it.
