Podcast #13 – Thundercats & Shadowlaw Writer Brandon Easton

Brandon Easton knows a thing or two about patience. He began work on his graphic novel Shadowlaw in 1996.

UnderScoopFIRE Podcast #8 – What ESPN’s AJ Mass can teach us about Denis Leary, The Iron Shiek & Justin Bieber

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

Conducting an interview on a podcast can be nerve-wracking for a novice like me. I have no professional experience. I have no journalistic training. Will I ask the right questions? How will the conversation flow? Can I facilitate an exchange that allows our guest to get his point accross? And my biggest fear: please don’t […]
