I can't work when it's quiet, so I have a habit of having the TV on when I'm drawing. Sadly I can't have a TV at my web design job and I got tired of listening to music after a while. So for the past few months I've been listening to a lot of podcasts through iTunes. They tend to update once a week, fun to listens, and I can listen to really nerdy podcasts without anyone else knowing how much of a nerd I am...okay...they all know I'm a giant nerd.
Some favorite Podcasts I listened to or have listened to:
If you listen to any that you think are really interesting, feel free to share. I'm always looking for good podcasts!
We had started doing a podcast earlier this year, but it ended up being put on hold because we both got a really bad cold that didn't go away for weeks. And I thought that people wouldn't want to hear me coughing through the podcast.
But as I mentioned before, I'm naturally a quiet person. So I feel that a podcast would be a good exercise skill to get me to stop being so quiet. I tend to do things like this to help me get over things I want to change and try to find a fun way to do it. Like when I had a really bad stage fright problem, so I decide to work the Renaissance Faire - I made myself interact with people and added points to how big of a nerd I am.
So the other question is, what would you be interested in a podcast from us? Want us to talk about the comic? Review comics/movies? Me just talking about how much of a nerd I am? Just talk about current events? Or you don't really care, just interested in the thought of a podcast?
If you are looking for some good podcasts. “We’re Alive” is an old Radio style podcast. A zombie survival story, They are in their second season. and Library of the Living Dead podcast up to ep119 now I think. So alot to listen to before you have to start waiting for new episodes.
Hey! Don’t even joke about that! Next thing you know we have Stephenie Meyer Zombie outbreak! I don’t want to live in a world with that kind of horror running around. Do you?! I didn’t think so…
If someone who makes a webcomic that I read is a guest on a podcast, I’ll listen to that episode. But other than that I mostly stick to podcast novels and History according to Bob.
I haven’t listened to HP Podcraft, but I am listening to William Hart’s reading of At the Mountains of Madness. Which is apparently also available on Youtube, though I only listen to the mp3s.
As for what I’d be interested in hearing from you? Well, anything that you’re passionate enough to rant about! 😉
Someone commented that our comic was like the Twilight of zombie comics… :/ One suggestion for a podcast is Writing Excuses.. Brandon Sanderson (the guy who does Mistborn / finishing Wheel of Time), the guy who does Schlock Mercenary and some other dude discuss writing and world building… Okay, might be better for Clint, but still something to consider? 🙂
That’s okay Magravan, I ran across a forum thread with a link to ZR and just the message “I dare you to get through the first 15 pages”. There was no word on what was earned if you accepted the dare, which is disappointing since I think I can manage it.
As for podcasts, the sad thing is I’m not up on the new tech in the right ways. I don’t really like listening to them while at my computer, and I don’t have a way to listen to them in my car… which is a shame since, being in L.A. traffic, I spend lots of time in my car.

That sounds awesome and something I would really be interested in! Thanks Hecter, I’ll have to check “We’re Alive” out.

Oooh D&D thing, I will look into that.
Wait….what is a “dishonest” zombie like? “Mmmmr. Br…Broooooccoli.”

Makes me think of a twist on the old “Landshark” sketch from SNL.
“You’re that zombie!”
“No ma’am. Just a vegetarian…”

Something I don’t even want to think about, keep that idiot away from other genres.
