Proof of Life update 8-2-25
Hey Alex, when are we getting new episodes? What happened with that Apollo thing? How is Season 2 of The StarWell Foundation coming? I answer these in this shorty episode. It won't take long. The fastest answers are 'in a few months maybe?' 'It ended' and 'Scripts are almost finished' IMPORTANTLY...

KICKSTARTER BACKER THANK YOU PAGE & 6 Days till release!
Here we go! Episode 1 will be released on Thursday August 3rd! It's ready, I'm excited and I couldn't have done it without all the kickstarter backers who supported this project. I was able to make something and importantly I was able to pay other people. We helped actors, musicians and audio...

We're almost at the end of the kickstarter campaign for The StarWell Foundation audio drama Season 1 so here's a bit of an update. We made the initial funding AND the first stretch goal of an additional special episode! There is still time to share and promote and possibly get the 2nd stretch…

Episode 450: The End.
Well, here we are. I toyed with the idea of doing the minimalist "ok, that's it!" and leaving it at that but I feel like that would have been doing the episode a disservice seeing as this one snowballed into a little more than we expected. A few weeks back we released part 1 of the OMV All-Stars...
-
Episode 449: Ten Years Later.
The emotions are starting to hit. Even just creating the title card for this episode hit me with waves of happy, sad, nostalgia, and relief. There aren't many things I can say I've done consistently for 10 years straight. It turns out a decade is a long-ass time to do anything, especially…
more -
Episode 448 with Colin: The Exit Interview.
The closer we get to the end, the harder it gets to write these things. Not because I'm tired or just fed up with it, but because we're talking with so many amazing people and it's difficult to come up with ways of saying how much they mean to us without it becoming repetitive. Like, how many…
more -
Episode 447 with Bob, Kt, Ryan, Jes, & Kyle: The OMV All-Stars Part 1.
The march to episode 450 continues this week with a multitude of guests who have been featured countless times in the past. And while "countless" might be an exaggeration because you can literally count the number of times they've been on, it doesn't begin describe their impact and contributions…
more -
Episode 446 with Brett Kelley: One Last Time.
If you pull up any random episode of OMV, there's about a 1 in 10 chance you'll hear Brett Kelley's voice. Given that we're almost 450 episodes deep into this thing, that's a pretty insane statistic and goes to show how much of an asset he has been to Alex and me over the last 10 years. Whether…
more -
Episode 445 With Brandon Chalmers, Jamie Noguchi, Marty Day, and Ross Nover: The Longest Episode.
I'm going to preface all of this by saying one thing: maybe bust out the headphones for this one if you haven't already cuz there's some language. You have been warned. With that said, we have an absolutely phenomenal episode for you this week featuring an all-star cast of guests. Over the last...
-
Episode 444 With Eisner Nominated Artist Joe Eisma!
Posting this episode feels like a triumph. Like we conquered some sort of mythical beast....completed an epic quest. Not through any fault of our guest or anything....but because it felt like the world didn't want this episode to happen. Between technical difficulties and internet issues it...
-
Episode 443 With Jason Ginsburg: The Future of @FakeThemePark. (With Special Guest Host: Will!)
This is another one of those "goodbye" episodes. We had our first one with Joe a few weeks ago and now we're back with a double-whammy. You probably already read the title of the episode but this week Jason Ginsburg of @FakeThemePark is back so we can bend his ear for a bit about his experience...
-
Episode 442 with Amanda Putnam: Archery, Elf Ears, & The Art Of The Fantastical.
This episode was a ton of fun to record for a couple reasons. The main one being we got to chat with a local artist who specializes in illustrating watercolor fantasy, dabbles in archery, and is a champion of expressing yourself and living your best life. She's also a friend and former co-worker…
more -
Episode 441 with Rob Guillory!
So this one was pretty neat. We've been big fans of Rob Guillory for some time now beginning with his work on the critically acclaimed Image book CHEW and continuing to his latest project Farmhand (also from Image). You probably don't need us to tell you how good Rob is seeing as there's a couple...
-
Episode 440 with Joe: The Importance of Companionship.
It would be virtually impossible to properly convey just how important Joe is both to the show and to Alex and me as a friend. He is one of the main people we leaned on the most when we first started out in 2012 and always made time to come on and chat with us whenever we hit him up. Over time…
more -
Episode 439 with Rich Woodall: The Busiest Man In Comics?
You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who has left a bigger impact on this show in a mere 4 episodes than Rich Woodall. I've said it before but it still holds true today: he's arguably the kindest and most humble creator we've had the pleasure of talking with. He's got talent for days and it…
more -
Episode 438: Fear and Muppets.
I'm not sure what else to write here as the title of this episode contains everything you need to know. I guess I can elaborate a bit, though. This week it's just Alex and me and to top off this year's spooky-sodes we're talking about fear. The things that scare us. The things that make us...
-
Episode 437 With Brandon Boone and Nichole Goodnight: Music, Speedrunning, and "The No Sleep Podcast".
Ok so it took us a little longer than normal to get to our usual spooky-filled episodes but we promise it was worth the wait because this episode is jam-packed with so many rad things. This week, we had the absolute pleasure of talking with not one, but TWO contributors of the insanely popular…
more -
Episode 436 With Daniel Govar and Tony Moy: The Paint Bros.
Our guests this week are no strangers to the OMV universe and despite having multiple cumulative appearances under their belts, they've never come on the show at the same time. Until now. That's right. We're trying the whole "4 people in 4 separate locations desperately trying to not talk over…
more -
Episode 435 With Ryan Matta and D.W. Kann: Welcome To The Jungle.
We got to talk about Tarzan for the better part of an hour with two guys who are about to Kickstart a Tarzan book next month. It was a pretty great Thursday, I'm not going to lie. Our old friend D.W. Kann is back with us and this time he brought one of his writing partners, Ryan Matta, to talk...
-
Episode 434: The Countdown Begins.
I was going to leave this super vague and cryptic because this episode contains a major announcement that we cover right off the bat. But I also feel obligated to tell you that afterwards, there's some tasty SPOILERS for The Suicide Squad. We did our best to point it out in the episode, but for...
-
Episode 433 With Lora Bird: Honestbird Tattoo and The Nest Art Collective.
We've talked about tattoos from time to time over the last 430+ episodes. In fact, the topic of tattoos can be found as early as episode 16 as part of that week's "The Big Question". For those trying to do the math, that was back in July of 2012 and as you probably could have guessed; Brett…
more -
Episode 432 With Stunt Performer Paul Drechsler-Martell: How To Look Like You're Getting Hurt For A Living.
This week I learned "squib jackets" are a thing. Like, I always knew about jackets. And with Alex doing SFX makeup I'm aware of what squibs are. But combining the two was never a concept I had thought of until this week's guest, Paul Drechsler-Martell, casually mentioned wearing one on the set of...
-
Episode 431 with Brett Kelley: The Return.
If I'm reading our own website correctly, it has been over two years since the last full appearance of our dear, dear friend Brett Kelley. That fact will shock any longtime listener as Brett holds many records within the OMV universe and there was a time when he was making appearances on a weekly...
-
Episode 430 with Jim Calafiore: We Need To Talk About Ned.
Jim Calafiore is back! It's been a while since we've seen him (or anyone) at a con, and even longer since we last got to chat on our show; but Jim is back with us this week and, as expected, we're talking comics. Specifically, we're talking Ned. Ned is your average guy. Like the rest of us, he's...
-
Episode 429 with Tony Fabro: Three Panel Crimes.
I have a dumb brain. When it comes to symbolism, interpretation, and open-endedness, my brain just does not compute. If something doesn't have a clear meaning or ending, I'm pretty much immediately on Google trying to get other people to explain what I just saw and/or read. It's not for a lack of...
-
Ep. 428 with Artist Jamal Igle: An Inkpot Award Winner Takes Us To "The Wrong Earth"!
It appears Spring has officially sprung because my sinuses have been in a constant state of explosion for the last few weeks. It's been a rough allergy season but luckily they gave me a few hours of relief, long enough for us to chat with a comic pro in Jamal Igle! Jamal has been involved in the...
-
Episode 427 with Artist & Writer Ben Templesmith!
I got my 2nd Covid vaccine shot today and as of this writing I'm feeling great but, given all that I have read and seen on the internet, that's subject to change within the next few hours. So, I'm writing this the day before posting in the hopes that my planning ahead will work out for the best…
more -
Episode 426 with Michael Bracco and Mike Isenberg: The Monuments.
This episode is all about old friends, new friends, and the rad things they make. In this case, it's a graphic novel called The Monuments and, as of this writing, it's currently crushing it over on Kickstarter. The aforementioned friends? Well longtime listeners of the show will be thrilled to…
more -
Episde 425 with Jared Skolnick: We're Talking About The Snyder Cut.
So The Snyder Cut happened. It's been a while since we did the whole "let's ramble about the latest blockbuster movie" so we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to do just that. With this being a discussion about movies, we also thought it would be fun to include our good friend Jared...
-
Episode 424: The 9 Year Anniversary.
Another year of casting pods has come and gone and this one, despite the odd circumstances and ongoing global pandemic, was a pretty solid banger. Of course, I'm biased. But after listening to the yearly montage that Alex put together featuring some of the best clips and snippets from the last...
-
Episode 423 with Eric McCoy and Justus Meyer: Have You Heard About Doomlings?
You're going to want to set yourself a reminder for March 2nd. I realize that doesn't make any sense at the moment, but bear with me because this week we're talking about a rad little card game called "Doomlings". To put it simply, Doomlings is described as "A delightful card game for the end of...
-
Episode 422 With Musician Christina Pepper: How A Pianist Keeps Busy During A Pandemic.
With the last episode being such a major departure from what we typically talk about here on OMV, it would probably be a good idea to get back to basics and start talking about comics, movies, and videogames again. But we didn't. We kinda did. But we mostly didn't. Have I completely lost you yet?…
more -
Episode 421: Ok. Let's Talk About $GME.
So, yeah. This one is a bit of a departure from our normal song-and-dance. Rather than discuss the latest happenings in the comics world, the next neat thing coming to Kickstarter, or bothering one of our friends to come on and talk about Star Wars or something....we took a dive into the world of...
-
Episode 420 With The Founder Of LionWing Publishing: Bradly Halestorm!
Happy New Year, ya'll! We're kicking 2021 off with a bang as this week we had the absolute pleasure of chatting with the founder of LionWing Publishing - Bradly Halestorm! I case you're not familiar, Bradly and his team at LionWing specialize in localizing Eastern tabletop games for gamers in the...
-
Episode 419 with Babs: Dungeons & Babbins.
This pandemic sucks. I think we're all aware of it and we can all agree the last 10 months have just straight up sucked. I could write about 5,000 words just off the top of my head listing off all the sucky things about pandemics but I'm not going to do that. What I'm going to do is hype up our...
-
Episode 418: Let's Get Festive.
That's right, folks. It's just us and this week we're getting festive. The holidays have always had a special place in my heart. Growing up, Christmas was always the best day of the year and my parents did everything they could to make sure that me and my two siblings enjoyed every moment of it....
-
Episode 417 with Concept Artist and Illustrator Peter Lin: The Reddit Connection.
Reddit is the ultimate time waster. I can't begin to count the amount of hours I have spent scrolling on that damn site and for the most part it's full of things that make me smile, laugh, or want to happy cry. There is some garbage there, like any other site (and long time listeners know I've…
more -
Episode 416 with Toy Designer and Concept Artist Len Nicholas!
And we're back! Jumping right into things, I'm going to start off by just saying toys are rad. Yes, I'm in my mid 30s. Yes, I have little-to-no use for toys these days besides displaying them on a shelf. And yes, I'm stuck in the past when it comes to my bias towards certain brands. But toys are...
-
Episode 415 with Will & Brett (Featuring Jess, Ashley, and Jon): The Perfect Haunted House.
Happy Halloween, everyone! We're closing out the spooky season in style by visiting one of our favorite topics to talk about every year: haunted houses. This one is extra special because we've gathered five (5!!) of our closest haunt friends to discuss the dream scenario: Create the perfect…
more -
Episode 414: A Different Kind of Spooky
Well, it's October and the spooky season is here. It goes without saying that this year's season is a little different with there being a massive pandemic and all. But, even though haunted houses are closed and trick or treating is on standby, Alex and I still wanted to bring you your yearly…

Episode 413 with Mike & Nick of the I Read Comic Books Podcast!
I learned a lot this week. In addition to learning that I'm hopelessly outnumbered when it comes to the "how to tape your comic bags" debate, I learned that Mike and Nick of the I Read Comic Books podcast are two of the raddest people we've had the pleasure of interviewing. I also learned that...
