Annual #2: The List Amazing Spider-Talk: A Spider-Man Podcast

Their relationship began like a storybook high-school romance: a Stegron comic, a podcast, fighting over the value of Annuals. But unlike other kids at school, one of them was a suspected supervillain. Each of them had their secrets, but Dan Gvozden and Mark Ginocchio had come to a crossroads. Depending on how you look at it, Mark was either Dan’s podcasting ally or sending him cryptic messages in the mail.

Now, it’s up to Mark’s wife to get to the bottom of this and exonerate her husband. But Mark is just the first name on “The List”. By the time Erin Ginocchio gets to the bottom of “The List”, she hopes to have figured out exactly who Norman Osborn is!









“Annual” is a true-crime podcast produced by Dan Gvozden and Amazing Spider-Talk. We strongly advise you to start listening with episode one of the series.

You can follow the clues with each episode (see below) to help us crack this very real and very much ongoing case. Can you figure out who Norman Osborn is?

This episode was painstakingly edited by Rick Coste. Our theme songs were pilfered from Nick Thorburn for parodic use. Featuring the voice talents of Erin Ginocchio, Mark Ginocchio, Dan Gvozden, Amy Gvozden, Rick Coste, Meg Clark Elias, Wyatt Unger, Brian Roan, Parker Rouse, and Andy Myers.

PHYSICAL MATERIALS:

The following postcards all arrived within the span of a week. Additional cards continued to pour in. The cards featured strange and different punctuation throughout. Eventually, it was determined that these were morse code. Each out spelled out a different name. The names are as follows:



* Erin Hadley Ginocchio (misspelled, Mark’s wife)

* Dan Slott (former Amazing Spider-Man writer)

* Kent F Heidelman (I think, someone Dan podcasted with once)

* Carl Oser (coworker of Dan’s)

* Andrew Gvozden (Dan’s brother)

* Laura D’Antoni (an old friend of Dan’s)

* Mike Gvozden (Dan’s other brother)

* Andy Myers (Dan’s creative partner)

* Brian Roan (cohost of several film podcasts with Dan)

* Ian Levenstein (cohost of the Comic Geek Speak podcast)

* Tristan Mathews (guest on Amazing Spider-Talk, Guinness Record Holder for the Largest Spider-Man collection)

* Parker Rouse (Dan’s former student)

* Ron Frenz (former Amazing Spider-Man artist, this was the clue that Dan was withholding)
