Was just thinking about how I’ve literally done nothing with the podcast for a few years (since 2020, I believe). And got to thinking about What am I going to do with this site? I am considering finally letting it go. Because I don’t see coming back to this. So many things have happened. My original Co-Host, Maico, had a very serious health issue spring up (he literally had brain surgery). My wife stepped in as a co-host, and then in 2020, she had a medical issue, that persists to this day. Because of the event surrounded by my wife’s health, I had dropped comics all together. (It was needed… I wasn’t enjoying collecting, really… I’d only been collecting still because I’d been collecting for over 40 years – so all that history with books like Uncanny X-Men, dating way back… it was more a habit than enjoyment).
So that’s where I am with that. But it made me think back about how this all happened – I’d met Maico at work, he was new, on my team; sat across from me. He strolled in one day with an X-Men shirt, we got to talking about comics, and I said, “We should do a podcast and record these conversations!” I had no idea how to do a podcast back then (some might say I never figured out!) – but hey, we got on iTunes, Stitcher, and a number of other ones – so I did something right.
It’s mind boggling that this all started all the way back in 2013.
We started really simple. Something we were both familiar with – just to see how this would go. We talked Marvel Comics.
