One of the best in the game!

Shout out to badr and his team for putting out such an amazing podcast every week. You can really tell he does take his time to research the topics. You can also tell that he absolutely loves podcasting. Keep killing it every week, I can’t wait to listen to your next episode!

An amazing podcast for comic lovers

The Short Box podcast happens to be from Jax, FL, which is awesome because I happen to be from there and not a lot of things I know of happen to be from Jax which is Amazing! But, It’s an amazing podcast for talk or information on many comic books, some events, and such topics. This includes interviews with people who inspired such pop culture topics or even some comic artists! Even this podcast is great for me! I’m a big fan of Batman, Spider-Man, Shazam and more and I would love to know more all the time so I really appreciate podcasts like this! It’s a great podcast and I especially love that it’s for those who are all sorts of fans, from new to comics and those who already know all of the lore! It’s dope! I’m someone who has a few Batman comics, a few deadpool things but it doesn’t mean at all that I don’t love them! I even cosplay the Joker! I’m definitely going to listen to the short box podcast way more often now!

Stop. Subscribe. Listen!

This is the best comic book pod on the airwaves.
I started collecting comics in the 1970’s and have listened to many pods that haven’t stood the test of time. The Short Box is different. Badr is the most amazing host, the other guys and gal that hop in and out of the episodes are great as well.
Their knowledge, passion and love for comics is evident and I look forward to this pod every week!
