    25 Years Later: R.L Stine On Giving Kids Goosebumps

    It’s the middle of summer, but there’s a chill in the air.  Today we’re talking to author R.L. Stine, whose series of Goosebumps horror stories for young readers celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. A prolific writer whose books have sold more than 400 million copies, Stine’s work spans a wide range of genres and has been adapted for television and, most recently, a 2015 Goosebumps movie starring Jack Black. RetConned’s Ian Pickus spoke to Stine about his generation-spanning career crafting scary stories for young readers and the tales he still plans to tell in the coming years. https://wamcpodcasts.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/retconnedepisode14.mp3

    The Digital Comics Evolution With Comixology CEO David Steinberger

    On this episode of RetConned, we talk to the CEO of industry-leading digital comics platform Comixology in the lead-up to this year’s San Diego Comic-Con about the changing face of the comics industry and his platform’s 10th anniversary. Today we’re talking comics – and the comics industry – with the CEO of the digital comics platform, Comixology. Initially launched back in July 2007, Comixology has grown into the industry leader in digital comics distribution over the last decade. The Comixology app and website makes more than 100,000 comics available across various mobile and online platforms, and it crossed an impressive milestone in September 2013 when it facilitated its 200 millionth comic downloaded. Given how much of the conversation ten years ago questioned whether digital comics would ever be embraced by the comics community, Comixology’s success is, well… kind of a big deal. With this year’s San Diego Comic-Con looming on the horizon, we spoke to CEO David Steinberger about the last ten years of comics, Comixology, and yes, Comic-Con. And we also got a preview of what Comixology has planned for the big show and beyond. https://wamcpodcasts.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/retconnedcomixology.mp3

In the latest episode of RetConned we talk to two members of Cybertronic Spree, a band of robots in disguise who keep the spirit of the original 1986 Transformers movie alive in music – and in costume – at comic conventions and fan events all around North America. We managed to get two of the band’s busy ‘bots, Arcee and Hot Rod, to chat with us about the origins and inspiration for their cybertronic sound. https://wamcpodcasts.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/retconnedcytronicspree_mixdown.mp3
