Needless Things Podcast Episode 8: DJ Spider

It’s time for the next thrilling installment of the Needless Things Podcast! After the magic of Heroes Con I knew I was going to have to do a full episode with the magnificent DJ Spider. I got to enjoy an excellent conversation on costuming with her and some other folks at Heroes and I wanted to do my best to recapture it in podcast form. Aside from the fact that we were all sober this time I think it worked out pretty well. If you don’t know, DJ Spider is one of the premiere cosplayers of the S...

Needless Things Episode 7: San Diego Comic Con 2013

Surprise! It's time for another Needless Things Podcast! I hadn't expected to be doing another one quite so soon, but when my co-host Mr. Beau Brown wants to talk Masters of the Universe, I have learned it is best to get on the ball and make things happen. And there was a lot of MOTU news to talk about coming out of this year's San Diego Comic Con. Mattel probably had their best showing yet. But it wasn't all about Masters, or else it would be called San Diego Masters of the Universe Con. No, th...

Needless Things Episode 6: LIVE From Odin's Comics

No – the live recording of Needless Things Podcast Episode 6 did not fill up the Odin’s parking lot or Media Room and certainly didn’t make Bobby Nash and Jay Hornsby rich men. But we did have a great time hanging out and recording and the trial by fire of the Olympus W-802 Digital Voice Recorder was a success. The point is that everybody involved had fun and we got a good conversation out of it. I learned several things that I will put into effect for the next live show on August 17th. I’m goin...

Needless Things Episode 5: HeroesCon 2013

Hey Phantomaniacs - welcome to another somewhat unexpected episode of the Needless Things Podcast! I went into HeroesCon hoping to score a few interviews with some of the guests there and ended up with seven excellent segments that I cannot wait for you guys to hear. I got to sit down with Jennifer of Handmade Stuffs , Kyle Starks , Jamie Cosley , Hashim of Silver Panther Studios , and even ended up with a surprise interview with Jim Rugg . Everybody was very cool and I feel like I did a pretty ...

Needless Things Episode 4: Toy Panel Live from TimeGate 2013

Surprise! I had no idea I was going to be posting another podcast this week. I was fortunate enough to run a toy panel at my personal favorite sci-fi convention - TimeGate . It's focused around Stargate and Doctor Who, but this year the emphasis was definitely on Doctor Who. Between the 50th Anniversary and the presence of an actual Doctor - Colin Baker - for the first time, things couldn't have gone down any other way. I pretty much decided on my own that I was going to run the toy panel becaus...
