Also...

We are going weekly in Jan 2012 (sort of) before wrapping up Volume 1 of TheComicSpot. There will be programs on Jan 5, Jan 12, Jan 19 and finally on Feb 2 2012.

I am moving to Tasmania in a few weeks and TheComicSpot won't be continuing in it's current format. I hope to return, after settling in, to producing radio about comics in Autralia but at this stage i'm not quite sure what form the future editions will take. Keep in touch via this blog and facebook for more detail as it comes.


The final program will go to air on 3CR on Thursday Feb 2. This program will be recorded LIVE in front of (hopefully) an audience at this amazing event on Sat 28th Jan.
