A Mega Podcast!

As a relative new comer to 2000AD it's amazing to hear Eamon and his guests have in-depth discussions about these classic storiesl Very enjoyable subject matter and hosting, a must for your 2000AD podcast library!

Great Books! A Great Host!

As a fan of 2000 A.D. and Judge Dredd, I feel that there can never be enough (quality) podcasts related to the subject.
Eamonn Clarke is an excellent host (with an AWESOME voice), and the production sounds almost as professional as 2000 A.D.'s Official Thrill-Cast.
Eamonn's guests range from well-known superfans (like Pete Wells) to people I'd never heard of, but--after hearing them chat with Eamonn--have had the pleasure to "meet" through this podcast. Comedian Julius Howe also livens things up!
I had read all of the books discussed, so it REALLY DOES feel like a book club for 2000 A.D.'s graphic novels, with a welcoming moderator, and interesting club members!
