Customer Reviews

I don’t care what the wife says, if we’re on the east coast we’re going to Wo Hop! Jacked Kirby is one of the best Podcasts out there!! Super informative yet very personal. A couple of hilarious East coast guys with a deep friendship host the show with the occasional appearance by one of their friends or a special, industry guest. The list of luminaries in their catalog is astounding but no matter what the episode is about or who’s there they’re always keep me laughing. And on top of all that, I’ve learned a lot about the comic industry, NYC history, hip-hop, Wo Hop and of course Jack Kirby the King of Comics,
Great Show to Geek out!
Long time listener and first time reviewer. Great show. Bring back Joe Esq!
What are you waiting for???
If you like hilarity along with all things bagged and boarded with white glove obsession or are content with thumbing through a book while eating pizza half choking from these comedic geniuses and then throwing it on the pile of junk mail after….no matter what kinda madness you have, you’ll be happy you found these guys and listened to Jacked Kirby.
