    Kevin Eastman Celebrates TMNT 40th Anniversary and Talks Last Ronin: The Lost Years with Lee and Ray

    Prepare to be shell-shocked as comic book titan Kevin Eastman, the co-mastermind behind the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, steps into our studio to mark an epic 40th anniversary of pizza-loving, crime-fighting action. Take a walk through four decades of Turtle power with one of the men who started it all, from the humble beginnings of the first groundbreaking issue to the new horizons of The Last Ronin 2: Re-evolution. As Kevin reflects on the moment he realized he could make a living from his artistic passion, we're reminded that dreams do come true, especially when they're armed with nunchucks and bandanas.

    But it's not all about nunchaku and twin katanas; we also toss the pigskin around with Kevin, a die-hard New England Patriots fan. Feel the pulse of his sports fandom as we reminisce about the Brady-Belichick era and gaze into the crystal ball for the future of the Pats. It's a symphony of fan devotion, from the turf of Gillette Stadium to the streets of New York City where the Turtles like to raise some shell—proving that whether it's the thrill of the comic book page or the roar of the stadium, the heart of a true fan beats just the same. Join us for another awesome interview with Kevin Eastman!

Perfect Mix of Geek and Sports Culture

Lee and Ray are true professionals in all that this show is; broadcasters by trade, sports fans and geeks for life.

What else could your average Joe ask for? A show about sports and geek media. Ray and Lee are a dynamic duo as hosts and keep it fun and entertaining. Also they leave a detail layout of the episode on what points they are hitting so you can choose where you want to listen if something doesn’t interest you, which I find pretty useful.
