I talk The Killing Joke with Julian Darius, academic, Comic lover and the man who started Sequart (sequart.org).
I highly recommend visiting sequart.org to find out more about the organisation and have access to loads of excellent articles and thought pieces.
I highlight two comic series I really enjoy but don't get enough attention. I also interview the guys from the podcast Xenozoic Xenophiles and former 2000AD editor John Tomlinson.
I sit down with the guys from Super Shakes comic shop to discuss comics that we don't think get enough attention or have been forgotten by history.

I catch up with the guys from "Super Shakes" comic shop in Burton Upon Trent. We chat about running a comic shop, Morrison, Gaiman and Moore and tangents into other comic type subjects.
