#225 - With Sy & David Barry

While this may be our third podcast with Sy Barry, he is a legend who has been in the industry for decades and has countless stories to share. This time is no different as we are also joined by his son David Barry who shares with us stories growing up as the son of a legend. This is a phun podcast you can watch or listen to.
We do not want to give away everything we talk about but some of the subjects we discussed are:

His career with Marvel and DC
His assistants
His legacy
Who his favourite assistant he worked with
Who his favourite artist he worked with

As we discussed, this is the third time we have chatted with Sy Barry. To listen to these podcast's go here. He is one of the top Phantom influencers with 30+ years drawing the characters plus many more for DC and Marvel and it is worth re listening to the past podcasts again.

Note, that in this podcast we do not talk about Sy Barry's new venture into the NFT world. That will come in a later podcast down the track. You can follow us on our social media accounts or our podcast channels so you wont miss out on that intriguing chat to come.

#227 - The Phantom Goes Digital

Jermayn Parker and David Barry join forces to discuss with Scott Einiger who is the founder of Kleckt. You may remember Kleckt as the company who announced their intentions of turning Sy Barry into NFT on the Phantom's birthday in 2022.

This podcast we try and dig into the future of the Phantom and getting the character digitised.
As you listen or watch be prepared to have your mind blown, stretched and challenged. As you will find out what Scott talks about is much more than just a NFT. We talk about providence of collections and how it can add value to your collection or a specific piece. Other topics are a digital museum, the movie, the history and saving it for multiple future generations.

At the 40 minute mark we do watch Scott's trailer for Kleckt which is best viewed on video. If you listen to this on audio only, you will only hear the sound track.

We want your feedback on this podcast and idea of Kleckt. You can email us at [email protected] or chat with us via our social media profiles with your feedback at Facebook, Twitter and or Instagram.
