Rasmm ,

Always a blast!

The energetic combination of Django and crew superbly moderated by Jeff Figley brings out all the best of what the latest batch of comics have to offer; from DC and Marvel to the smallest of publisher, form what’s burning hot to not so, these comic book enthusiasts will keep you informed. Truly a blast week to week! Don’t miss it!

Listen up and have a sip!

The gang has so much heart and personality, every week when a new episode comes out it always jumps to the top of my to do list.

You can tell these guys love what they do. So if you like talking comics, but are stuck inside because of the whole end of the world thing going on right now, you should absolutely start listening.

Comics and Friends

I look forward to the Perfectly Acceptable Podcast every week. I don't have time to read as many comics as I would like. This podcast keeps me up to date on the latest comic news and informs my reading choices. Simply put, it is a group of friends reading stories and sharing how those stories make them feel. If you are searching for a podcast that is about comic books as a storytelling medium your search has ended.
