Cody is a wonderful connection I made through Logan Naugle of Geeks Rising when Logan and Cody created the post apocalyptic audio drama podcast called Stuck Listening.

I provided my voice for their episode Shock Jocks and the CRT in Season 1.
Previous guest and fellow Geeks Rising member, Zachary Jackson wrote their final episode Solomon Justice: Hard crimes in hard times.

Music, art, life. They all intertwine for Cody.

In March of 2021, Cody released a new song called Call My Name with his first music video to accompany the song.
He has previously released the album titled Almost Home.

Cody learnt how to play clarinet proficiently, then learnt piano, guitar and has a talent for singing. His brother Cosmo is his musical partner and together they have created music that, for me, has awesome weekend/summer vibes.

Cody shares about the making of Call My Name, both the genesis of the song and the development of the music video.

Calling himself an “artist” is something Cody struggles with because he hasn’t settled on one particular medium, however he loves and thrives on collaborative projects like making comics, music and podcasting.

Through his Patreon, he shares a lot of his creative works including a new Bootscoot Bootleg Radio show in which he interviews guests in-between music and callers can call in and request songs. His first guest was his brother Cosmo talking about their new single Call My Name and Cody, through the show, makes an incredible listening experience. It is a fun and creative way of delivering an interview.

When Cody was starting out he found Winston Hauschild who was a huge inspiration for him, and Cody would love to be that kind of inspiration for someone.

One of Cody’s important connections is Gabby Vee, and one of her exhibitions at & Gallery is how Logan and Cody met each other. Logan’s wife Cynthia has been supportive & encouraging Cody to not undersell himself.

Next Episode

Malcolm Russell-Nelson

For the love of comics and film.
Malcolm is a friend I met through our mutual connection with the Geeks Rising Podcast Network.
Passionate about comics and film, Malcolm is a manager of a comic book store, and one of the co-hosts of the movie review podcast On The Subject, with Zach and Logan.

Malcolm shares his comic book origin story and thanks to Malcolm’s recommendation of the Greg Pak Firefly comics during my guest recording with On The Subject of Serenity 2005, I have dived in to my journey with comics.

In the year 2000, a lover of reading, Malcolm visited the library regularly and branched out into comics from the selection available there and then at the supermarket came across an Ultimate Spider-Man comic. He owns every copy of the series and without it he wouldn’t have made some of the very important connections in his life!

We briefly talk about the importance of the online presence of the comic community.

We agree on the importance of the connection of being able to “hear” the characters in comics.

Malcolm compares reading the storyboards of a movie to a reading a comic, and power of the pacing, a page turn, the drama and personal danger of handling a physical comic...

He shares the nightly routine he has with comics that have helped him stay connected to and invested in comics.

Connections to people have really important in helping Malcolm get through. Malcolm knows of people who have lost their jobs due the closures of businesses but seeing their’s and others resilience has been inspiring. He also has a great support network around him.

Malcolm shares about how he came to be a part of On The Subject and his early connection with Zach and longtime connection with Logan. He also talks about what they cover on the show and how he prepares for it and what he looks for in film. Malcolm loves ideas, and the crux of films are the scripts. He loves a good superhero and enjoys the portrayal of a better world through both comics and film.

We briefly reminisce about the Jewel Staite Cameo that I arranged for the guys of Geeks Rising in 2020 to brighten their day.

Malcolm shares his podcast recommendations:
Film podcasts –
1. Blank Check
2. Empire Podcast

Comic podcasts –
1. Geeksplained with Aeric Azana
2. Cerebro
