    Postcard from Graeme (and a preview of his new podcast)

    It's been a while so I thought I would stop by and let Reality Bomb's listeners know how I'm doing, what I thought of the latest season of Doctor Who (spoiler alert, I liked it. A lot.), and my plans for a new episode (or episodes) of Reality Bomb later this year. And I wanted talk with you my latest podcast, The Comics Code, a storytelling/documentary podcast about comics which will debut this fall. I even share a preview of an upcoming episode If you like what you hear (or if you just like what we did with Reality Bomb for so long), consider supporting the Kickstarter for the Comics Code which is open now. We'd love to have your support-- both financially but also as a discerning listener! See you soon! The Comics Code Kickstarter for The Comics Code

    Reality Bomb Episode 118

    On the one hundredth and eigtheenth edition of Reality Bomb, we have our longest episode yet as we catch up on all the news we've missed while we were off (plus a few other things!) First, Graeme Burk talks with Lacy Baugher Milas of Den of Geek about Doctor Who's return to SDCC after five years away. We finish our review of the latest season, and look to the future, as Sage Young and Sanjay Lago discuss Rogue, The Legend of Ruby Sunday and Empire of Death. And we look to the past, or rather how the past is being re-presented through new blu-ray and streaming releases with Jon Arnold and Max Kaschevsky... which leads nicely into Gallery of the Underrated, where James Cooray Smith (of Graeme's favourite Doctor Who-themed newsletter, The Psychic Paper -- which you should really subscribe!) brings the recently CG animated missing story, The Celestial Toymaker. Plus Hot Take Roulette with KatyBeth Schmid... and Spoiler Cops concludes!
