Who am I?

My name is Chris Schnabel, I host Mad Props With Chris Schnabel and I am 100% a fandom fan whether it be Nintendo or Marvel. I grew up with it and it’s a great time to be a nerd adult! Here are some of my favorite podcasts to nerd out to! I have loved comics, Nintendo, cartoons, movies and more since I was young and the love has only grown stronger as I’ve grown myself.

My Show

What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?

My podcast is a casual-interview show where our goal is to learn something new about each guest. Some guests aren’t well known, so it’s easy. But other guests you’ll learn thing you can’t find on their Wikipedia.

What is my podcast playlist about?

My playlist list is about my favorite fandom podcasts out there! This is where I draw inspiration from but also listen to learn more about my favorite topics.

The podcasts I picked and why

1. Sketching Up

Why this podcast?

It may be cheating to start with Sketching Up, as I host the show, but I do love the topics and conversation we have on this podcast. Unlike most fandom podcasts out there, we try to stay away from current event topics as you can find that anywhere. We focus more I’m bringing you news and information that you may not find on the other fandom podcasts.

2. The Ringer-Verse

Why this podcast?

I’ve had The Ringer-Verse on a couple of lists now, but I think they do such a great job at what they’re trying to do. They bring you news and opinions in such a fun, funny, and entertaining way that it’s a structure we look to follow whenever we make our own podcast. You can listen to them just hanging around or out working out, it’s entertaining either way.

4. Inside Marvel

Why this podcast?

New Rockstars are known for finding Easter eggs and different things, and that’s no different for their Marvel podcast. I am a huge Marvel guy, starting when I was a kid buying Spider-Man comics at the local flea market. These guys do a great job of covering marvel in the place to go to hear breakdowns of movies, shows and more.

5. Pokemon Singer, Jason Paige

Why this podcast?

I know this is an episode of my own show, but I love listening to this one. Jason Paige is the original singer of the Pokémon theme song, but in this episode, we barely talk about that. He opens up about his life, what he does outside of Pokémon, and not only do you get the nerdy stuff that he does, you get behind-the-scenes look at the singer of the Pokémon theme song. I just love this episode, and want to include it because I do re-listen to it, even though it’s my own episode.
