90 - For Old Dime's Sake
Guest Host: Markku Mujunen |
Get ready to revisit another appearance of Magica DeSpell! I contend this may be the MOST Magica of all her appearances. Join us, as we discuss the story that may have the greatest Magica sequence of all time! -
88 - the Case of the Sticky Money
Guest Host: Geoff Moses {aka GeoX, of Duck Comics Revue}
Grab an ice cream soda, and join us, listeners, as we discuss this zany, Beagle-focused Barks story! This early 60s mystery is slight, but still great fun. -
87 - the Status Seeker
Guest Host: Bucket Think Tank |
Listeners, if you are looking for a podcast that can also act as a status symbol, well...that would be pretty weird. But this is a great episode, where we get to talk about the concept of status, compare this story to its Ducktales adaptation and more! -
86 - Oddball Odyssey
Guests: Bill Wormstedt & Tom Wormstedt |
Listener, can we interest you in the personal jewels of the goddess Athena? How about a episode of the podcast covering another ridiculous Magica De Spell scheme? Journey with us to the Mediterranean, as the ducks follow in the footsteps of Odysseus, only to encounter a modern-day Circe! -
Ten-Page Podcast: Ten-Cent Valentine (1962)
Guest host: Suzanne Snow Severino |
Happy Valentines Day! Let's spend it talking about Barks' "slinky sorceress" Magica De Spell in only the second story (and first ten-pager) she is featured in! "Ten-Cent Valentine" is a light story, but a great show case of the sorceress and an amazing time capsule of the early 1960s! -
85 - a Spicy Tale
Guest Host: Nils Lid Hjort |
Brew a nice cup of nutmeg tea, listeners, and join us as we discuss Carl Barks' Amazonian-set adventure, "a Spicy Tale." This story let Barks poke some gentle fun at the U.S. Peace Corps, and adds a bit of flavor to Scrooge's character, in the form of a weakness (addiction?) to Nutmeg Tea!
