In something of a departure, on this episode we discuss a BRAND NEW COMIC. As someone who rarely reads BRAND NEW COMICS it came as a bit of a surprise... like, I'm an old man who's only ever listened to swing, and is offering his opinion on Clean Bandit or something. Like... it's something I can...

Alpha Not Flight - The Castafiore Emerald reviewed by Martha Hopkins
This week there's going to be three shorter episodes, none of which are about Alpha Flight. I'm sorry, these things just happen. There'll be plenty of Alpha Flight next week *I promise*.

19 Alpha Pod Flight Issue79 Andy Conduit Turner
Andy CT joins me this time around. What you don't hear is that I toyed with the idea of trying out a new intro for this episode but 100% chickened out. We talk about this, the first time we've encountered the infamous James D Hudnall and John Calimee, I manage to forget who WALTER IS and drop…

15 Alpha Pod Flight Issue55 Jenny Robins
I sent Jenny Robins two copies of Alpha Flight to talk about, and we talked about this one, Issue 55. We talked about it for a fair while longer than I'd normally talk to someone about anything, which is why this episode is longer than they usually are.We dance around pronouns, try and make some...

Alpha NOT Flight: Looga And Barooga reviewed by Martha Hopkins
Seriously, if you're here for chat about Alpha Flight maybe skip this episode...Once again Martha bullied me into letting her do a podcast that wasn't about Alpha Flight and I let her like some kind of chump.

Ever heard a parent's enthusiasm for an activity drain audibly? No? Well you're in for a treat. Bill was desperate to have another go on the podcast, and does very well until he gets bored.

WELL, this is a landmark episode, because I finally get John Byrne's biographical link to Canada correct for the FIRST TIME. This is all thanks to Dan White, aka thebeastmustdie, comic creator and podcast host. We meet in a pub which slowly gets noisier to talk about the unfortunately lacklustre...
-
10 Issue5 Fraser Campbell
Fraser Campbell joins me to talk about Issue 5, how it's sort-of related to A Midsummer Night's Dream, "Henchman Fashion" and the artistic choices involved in making characters wear skimpy clothes and be immodestly hairy. I also relate an Andy Yanchus-based anxiety dream.Alpha Pod Flight…

08 Alpha Pod Flight Issue1 Sean Ross
This time around I'm joined by Sean Ross to talk about Alpha Flight #1 - I'd say "where it all started" but it actually started in The Uncanny X-Men, and that's a future episode of the podcast. Sean is a steady stream of high-quality information, and if you've not listened to an Alpha Pod Flight...
