Spideydude Experience/Clone Saga Chronicles Special: Spider-Man 2 Commentary
In 2022, we were wrapping up Clone Saga Chronicles and Spectacular Radio. During that time, Gerard, co-host of both those shows, and I thought we should do a commentary for the Spider-Man 1 20th Anniversary. We had so much fun we thought, why not do Spider-Man 2? So here we are, doing another...

Clone Saga Chronicles Episode 76: The End of An Era… The Final Episode.
It’s the End of an Era here on the Spideydude Radio Network. The Final Episode of Clone Saga Chronicles. This isn’t easy for me to type or write, nor was it easy to edit or even create this episode. We recorded this back in late April or early May and because of that, there will be some dated...

Spideydude Experience Episode 43/Clone Saga Chronicles Special: Spider-Man (2002) Commentary
The Year was 2002. The world was a lot different then. 20 years seems like it passed in a blink of an eye but in reality, it was a long time ago.

CSC Episode 72: Revelations…Part Four & Osborn Journal
There is a sense of the beginning of the end of this show. Peter Parker: Spider-Man 75 was the first time I had read a comic starring Peter Parker that wasn’t a tie into the cartoon (Adventures of Spider-Man) or a back issue since my very first issue, Spectacular Spider-Man 223. It was an...

CSC Episode 70: Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider & Spider-Geddon
