Variety is the spice of life (and comics)

I love this podcast for many reasons, but if I had to narrow it down to one reason it would be its variety of topics. Eric not only covers the vast arena of comics he’s read, recent and in the distant past, he gives us slice of life episodes and discussions with his granddaughter. Good stuff! Don’t miss it!
