Uh, this isn't a porn site
for some unexplained reason this site is being tagged as a sex site, and being filtered out by some corporate computers.
FOR THE RECORD: Wordballoon is NOT A SEX SITE. We believe in non FCC regulated discussion, but never show or promote any sexual content.
I hope to rectify this as soon as possible. John Siuntres

Re-Post- Keith Giffen , Behind The Bwa-Ha-ha's
The Giffen Interview seemed to disappear from some podcasting sites, including my own feed (hmmm...) So If you missed it, here's Keith Giffen, a damn funny writer /artist who's made us laugh with team books like The Justice League and the new Planetary Brigade from Boom Studios. Keith's more than just a bwa -ha -ha Giffen shares some behind the scenes insight on "52" the DC year long epic, that premires in May, and praises the jam session of creators producing the weekly chapters. Plus, we talk about Keith's early days at DC, working with the legends like Carmie Infantino and Wally Wood.

THE BENDIS TAPES, THE FINAL CHAPTER
Listen with amazement as one of these Marvel characters will die....
ok nobody dies, but Brian and I felt like killing ourselves afterwards, does that count ?
The final hour of my 3 part q&A with Bendis.
THE BENDIS TAPES part 2
Hour two of the conversation that never ends between Brian Bendis and Myself.
NEW 3 PART SPECIAL : THE BENDIS TAPES
WARNING: There's a moment of explicit language in Part 1, that's meant to inform, not to offend.
After our January interview, Brian asked if I would help him answer the 300 plus questions that had been piling up at his website since October.
"Piece of cake", I thought , just like Custer before Little Big Horn.
It took 3 hours to get through the 300 plus answers. They ranged from great insight on his craft, news of current and upcoming projects , to "Brian, did you buy the new Family Guy DVD?"
Our mood went from slick interview to slap happy, free form rawness. We hope
you enjoy it. They may never let me back in radio again.
