The Uncanny X-Castwww.uncannyxcast.com
The Uncanny X-Cast is the net's best podcast featuring reviews and analysis of Marvel's Mighty Mutants. Focusing almost exclusively on the comics, It's hosted by two long-time friends and X-fans, one of whom has been reading consistently for 20+ years and one of whom has just returned to the X-books after a decade long hiatus. Consequently, the 'cast is accessible to both long time and new readers. Ongoing segments include comic reviews, character bios, Top 5 lists and an ambitious "retro review" segment where the hosts take on the monumental task of re-reading and discussing the entire run of Uncanny X-Men, starting with #1.
