Josh Williamson


This week we have up and coming comic book writer, Josh Williamson. Josh writes Voodoo and Uncharted for DC Comics and has written young readers books for Oni Press. His book Dear Dracula is currently being made into an animated movie. Josh is nominated for Best Writer at the upcoming Stumptown Comics Fest (April 28-29). As all great comic book stories go, we started with Josh’s origin story. Unlike comic book movies, however, we covered the origin story in 2 minutes rather than 2 hours. But Josh isn’t just interested in comic books. We covered our normal range of topics with Josh, always somehow coming back to Money’s dreaded topic. Money did come up with some very spot-on questions for Josh, Lance and Sean. Like, “does Orco, from He-Man, have legs?”, or “how did Casper die?”, and “who exactly is Archie’s villain?” We also found out why Portland is slowly becoming the hub for great comic book creators. How, do you ask, did we fit all this info in an hour-long podcast? We didn’t. That’s right, we recorded an hour and forty-five minutes. So get yourself a cup of coffee and sit in your favorite recliner, cause we’ll be in your head for a while. But let’s face it, it could be worse…you could be watching a Michael Bay movie.

My Deer Friend


We finally have the whole crew back together. Jeremy fills us in on his nuptials in Hawaii, along with his rolling brownouts. We had to expand our horizons and venture out to a new Taco Tuesday joint; one word, FAIL and the Quest continues. We all voice our opinions on the launch of Nike’s new NFL uniforms. Money finds fault with Seattle’s, but then again it is Seattle so it is to be expected. After the quick bash of Seattle, we flip flop to how great of a time we had there this weekend. Sean and Lance hit up the Emerald City Comic Con, while Money enjoys the finale of his birthday week. While at the party, Lance and Sean investigate the origins of the name Money and come up short. At the end of the night Money, Sean and Lance, along with countless other Seattlites, partake in a Seattle Late Night tradition and stuff their mouths full of Dick’s. Once we’ve finally beaten the dead horse so much it wouldn’t even come back as a zombie, we wrap up the night with reminiscing about past run-in’s with the Police. Do you have a good cop story?
