WIZARDS The Podcast Guide To Comics

Adam interviews Kalervo Sinervo and Anna Peppard, two PhDs who teach university courses on comic book history, to get the details on their academic research project exploring the cultural impact of Wizard magazine on fandom in the 20th century and beyond. It's a fascinating discussion that opens up a world of possibilities and ideas about the legacy of The Guide To Comics.

Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Wizard magazine with a panel of former staff members from The Guide To Comics, ToyFare and Anime Insider for the WIZARDS 30th Reunion Roundtable. Listen in as the Wizard Press alumni go hilariously off-track with wild behind the scenes stories while attempting to pitch an imaginary retrospective issue of the magazine.
WARNING: This podcast contains salty language, bathroom humor and utter nonsense, but if you ever read these publications in their prime you wouldn't expect anything less!

What exactly is Cannetti’s Revenge? With Adam returning next episode, he gave Michael free reign to do whatever he wanted for the coverage of issue 31. The Result? This is the most OUT OF CONTROL edition of WIZARDS ever! Michael is cussing up a storm while hopped up on Caffeinated Booze and ends up more lost than usual as Steven tries to get him to talk about John Byrne and the crew launching LEGEND, Erik Larsen’s Savage Dragon, the legacy of ElfQuest and more 90’s comic book news. It’s raucous, it’s rowdy, it’s ridiculous...it’s Cannetti’s Revenge!

The 3rd episode of our behind the scenes interview series with former Wizard magazine staff members has 3 times the hilarity as we laugh along with the stories from infamous Magic Words editor, Chris Ward aka "Loose Cannon" who tells us tales of angry voice mails from irate readers, a wild car ride with Harvey Pekar, drunken convention shenanigans and writing an entire concept album dedicated to "The Big Cheese" Gareb Shamus. This episode of The Wizard Files is packed with fun, but also more explicit language than our normal content, so be warned. When the "Loose Cannon" comes to town, no one can tone him down!
