  1. 91 - Isle of Golden Geese

    09/03/2024

    91 - Isle of Golden Geese

    Guest Hosts: Elaine Ramshaw & Sara Santiago Honk! Start rubbing goose eggs on your head, it's another episode, covering this strange story, one of Barks' few adventure comics that passes the Bechdel Test! It's got everything, Magica DeSpell, Ratface, the Beagle Boys, and a character that's a clear stand-in for Little Bo-Peep (?!).

  2. 90 - Crown of the Mayas

    90 - Crown of the Mayas

    Guest Host: Morten Guldberg | Listeners, all's fair in love and archaeology! Listen as my guest and I discuss the true, National Geographic-derived Mayan culture behind this treasure hunting story, discuss who is the story's biggest heel, and make some cool discoveries, befitting a story of an archaeological expedition!

  3. 89 - For Old Dime's Sake

    06/17/2024

    89 - 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!

  4. 88 - the Case of the Sticky Money

    04/04/2024

    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!

    1h 4m
  6. 86 - Oddball Odyssey

    02/26/2024

    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!

    1h 8m
  7. Ten-Page Podcast: Ten-Cent Valentine (1962)

    02/14/2024

    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!

  8. 85 - a Spicy Tale

    01/31/2024

    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!
