Podcast Time: "Superheroes For Dummies" And The Comics In Motion Network

Article by Steve J. Ray

Podcasts have become a huge part of pop-culture. Fantastic Universes has its own shows (which will be coming back soon, including a brand new series called "Legends Of The Dark Knight") and last year we partnered with the amazing Retro Project Podcast, to share their shows on this site for a U.K. audience.

Recently, two friends; Paul McGuigan, Daniel Belgrave, and I, started a new show called "Superheroes For Dummies". Paul is a newcomer to the world of comic-book characters, Daniel has some knowledge, but more from video games, TV and movies. Of course, I'm a mega geek/ultra nerd, so we cover the whole spectrum.

For content, we ask fellow fans on the internet, via Facebook and Twitter, to nominate the characters they want to know more about, and get them to send us their questions about said characters.

We've aired two episodes so far, and they've been great fun. Here are Spotify links to both:


The Comics In Motion Network is incredible, the same way that we're a fan-site that covers all bases, they do the same in audio form. TV and Movie reviews, Star Wars, Indie Comics, Marvel and DC, Reality TV... You name it! All their shows are great fun, and well worth listening to.

Here are links to them all, on Spotify, Apple, and Acast:




Created by Dave Horrocks and Chris Phelps, and featuring talents as diverse as Fantastic Universes' very own Max Byrne and Tony Farina, the site also boasts great shows from Mike Burton and Scott Weatherly.

Check them out, I just know that there's a show on the Comics In Motion feed that will suit your tastes. Tony Farina will be showcasing some of them right here on Fantastic Universes.

As always, give us feedback on the shows; comment, like, rate and review us. We're listening... I promise

Mystic Muses: A D&D Podcast

Image
Article by Philip Clark An all queer cast. An all femme ensemble. A non-binary Dungeon Master. Throw in some quality story-telling and role playing too, this sounds like a whole lot of fun! If any of the previously mentioned things has piqued your interests, then I implore you to check out Mystic Muses. You can find this wonderfully crafted podcast where you can find all your other favourites including Spotify. There are currently four episodes out. Episode 0 is the prologue and character introductions, and I have to say it is very well put together! The intro to each episode is cleverly crafted, with the players and DM each sounding off a sentence to bring us into the game space. Speaking of bringing us into the game space, Adam, the talented DM sets the scene for the story very nicely. A descriptive, yet concise introduction to the environment gives both the players and audience a vibe of what we're in for. Then come the delicious character introductions that give vivid descripti...

Fantastic Universes Interview: Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz From 'The Walking Dead'

Image
Interview panel led by Steve J. Ray, with a gathering of Comic/TV Media Journalists. I've spoken to some amazing people over the last couple of years; writers, artists, costume designers, and actors from some of my favorite TV shows. It's no secret that I'm a huge comic-book fan, and one of the TV series that's based on and inspired by a comics title - but has gone on to be so much more - is The Walking Dead . At a recent Comic-Con in London, I had the great opportunity of leading a panel where some fellow journalists and I spoke with Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz, three siblings who played Sophia and both iterations of Henry on the show. The eldest, Madison Lintz (born 1999) played Sophia Peletier - Carol's daughter - in the first two seasons. She's also well known for playing Maddie Bosch in the Amazon series Bosch . She started acting at the age of six, filming commercials and voice-overs. Matthew (born 2001) took over the role of Henry from ...
