Talkin' Con: A Cup O' Tea with An Englishman In San Diego s06e05 (16th September 2018)

Bravo! You've found the audio version of the Talkin' Con A Cup O' Tea with An Englishman In San Diego podcast, the YouTube show broadcasting live every Sunday in which your host Leonard Sultana brings together a cracking bunch of people to talk about the amazing events at which we embrace the fandoms we love. This is season 6 episode 5, broadcast on Sunday 16th September, and on this week's show, we look forward to one of the major highlights of the UK comic convention calendar: the Thought Bubble Festival held in Leeds in the North of England next weekend. The Festival is in its second year in its new location, smack in the centre of the city with numerous tents and venues filled to the brim with the cream of international comic talent and also homegrown British small-press and independent creators. One such creator is Ben Brown, the man behind comics such as BIGFOOT PHOTO, MAIDEN VOYAGE, DRIVEL and JUMP SCARE, the latest edition of which he'll be presenting at his table at the show - he's a local Leeds lad who has been going to Thought Bubble from its early years as both attendee and exhibitor so he gives us his take on this epic event. At the other end of a more modest scale of convention, Leonard also brings his report on this past weekends ICE International Comics Expo held in Birmingham at which he presented a Q&A panel and got to meet some incredible creators - he also brings some of the headline of the week in con culture and much more. it's a packed show.
