Talkin' Con: A Cup O' Tea with An Englishman In San Diego e06e02 (26th August 2018)

This is the audio version of the Talkin' Con: A Cup O' Tea with An Englishman In San Diego podcast - I am your Englishman In San Diego, Leonard Sultana, confusingly based in the UK but hosting this international on a weekly basis, where we gather every Sunday and celebrate the events at which we embrace the fandoms we love! This is Season 6 Episode 2 and this week is an episode of firsts - we get to talk to CNET's Erin Carson, someone who attended San Diego Comic-Con for the first time in July 2018 and we chat about what its actually like to go to this monster of a show, fresh out of the gate, against all of the expectation and hype, as well as balancing covering the show as a busy press person and as an enthusiastic newbie attendee. And then we speak to Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, the creator of the comics critique and analysis monthly, Panel X Panel, an online magazine that was nominated for an Eisner Award for the first time this July, discussing what it means to have that honour bestowed upon you in 2018. Plus Con News and all the latest updates, it's a cracking hour of con culture.
