Yes, Friday has arrived and, with it, our final installment of our second podcast. In Wait, What 2.3, Graeme and I discuss PHONOGRAM, DETECTIVE COMICS #854, GREEK STREET #1 and (failed) TV shows KINGS and VIRTUALITY. We hope you enjoy.

Now if you excuse me, I have to go back to monitoring the comments and seeing how things are going with Mr. Hibbs and the signing countdown...

I'll try and get this posted quickly so I don't cockblock Hibbs' important upcoming post. A new episode of Wait, What is up for your listening pleasure, provide your definition of pleasure hews more closely to 'random bullshitting around the comics counter': Graeme and I talk about the proper name for Portland, Greg Rucka, quickly develop a hideous pitch for Angel & The Ape, and cover other geekly topics.

For those of you who prefer, y'know, actual reviews? You should wait for the next two installments, but if two grown men agog over the career of a Transformers comic book writer is your idea of a good time, this should do you just fine.

Mr. McMillan also posted Wait, What 1.3 as an mp3 for those of you who requested it. So that's finally sorted out.

But do also check out our minicast--an episode I like to call "Graeme, Interrupted"--which, although cut short by Internet problems...



...has us both on one channel, improvements on the volume settings, and Graeme doing a really great squeaky voice there at the end.

And, of course, if you'd like to take a second and let us know what you think after you do, we'd appreciate it.

Don't think we resolved the stereophonic boondoggle, but the third part of our initial podcast is now available for your auditory delectation.

I'd like to have a follow-up review of LOEG: Century #1 to embellish some of the points made herein, but considering I've spent almost two full hours trying to catch up on overdue emails, it may come later rather than sooner.

Regardless, thanks for listening and let us know what you think!

It's been a busy weekend. Plus, we're trying to work on the audio quality a bit.

Plus, we did just enough trash-talking of Alan Moore, we're trying to figure out if we can post this without bursting into flames.

(Plus, Robert made us cry.)

But we're planning on having this posted--today, in fact--and I'll update accordingly when we do.

Thanks for your patience!

Thanks for those of you who took the time to comment on our first installment. Although this installment will have a little more of that angel/devil-on-the-shoulder stereo mix, we have dutiful drones hard at work to clear that up for our third installment, which we'll be posting Monday.

But, today: Graeme and I talk about the recent works of a certain Grant Morrison as well as how other critics affect our reading. (In fact, Graeme's analysis helps tiny-brained me think about some of the work at hand as we speak! You can all but hear the rice-krispyish popping of my befuddled synapses...)

Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

Okay, so I'm not particularly on top of the new-fangled technology, otherwise this would've gotten to you sooner and better, but Graeme and I spent a few hours last week talking about comics and put it into convenient podcast form for you. We hope you give it a listen and let us know what you think...

Some notes:

(1) the opening music is Track 18 from Nine Inch Nails' excellent ambient album Ghosts I-IV, because Trent Reznor, bless him, actually has a creative commons license for the work that allows us to use it.

(2) I think I sound like a bozo for the first two minutes or so. Just hold out until you hear Graeme get going--it's more than worth it.

(3) I'll be uploading Part 2 of the conversation tomorrow on Saturday and we should have Part 3 for you by Monday. Who says this isn't the Savage Critic age of Sonic Gratification?



And here is the rest of it.
