Needless Things Podcast Episode 17 – Adam WarRock: Racing to the High Five!

I couldn’t be more excited and quite frankly impressed with myself as far as how this year is shaping up so far. I am pretty awesome.

Just let me have this moment.

I have three podcast episodes in the can already and two more on the schedule. Three of these episodes are interviews that to me are Big Deals – dany only, today’s with Adam WarRock, and another one that you’re just going to have to wait a week or so to find out about. I’m almost wishing I had more monthly space on Podbean, but that’s not going to happen because that takes even more money.

In addition to the podcasting excitement, I am currently starting to plan my panels for Dragon Con. I’ve submitted my ideas to the Great and Powerful Gary and Joe and am waiting to hear back on what’s a go. I am very excited about the stuff I suggested. Over the course of discussing said panels, I found out that my 2013 panels were among the best rated of the American Sci-Fi Classics Track. That is one of the best non-family accomplishments of my life. If you’d like to listen, here they are:

TheToy Panel

Masters of the Universe Panel w/ William Stout

GI Joe: A Real American Hero Panel

Also, I will be at Dragon Con as an Attending Professional. I am not entirely sure what this means, but I had to fill out an application and be approved for it. It’s not a Guest, but I will be listed in the program and in a pool for panels. This could possibly mean less drinking, so I’m not sure how much of an accomplishment it really is.

Okay – let’s talk about today’s podcast.

I give my whole Adam WarRock story in the show, so I’m not going to repeat it here. The deal is that his Doctor Who Mixtape dropped on January 7^th and once I listened to it I was dying to talk to this guy. I didn’t know what format it would be – ideally we’d do an hour long Needless Things and record a ten minute drop-in about The Doctor Mixtape for Earth Station Who. But I’d take whatever I could get. I never know how folks are going to respond to things, so I was ready for anything from no response to a full hour and the drop-in.

Because Adam WarRock is a righteous dude we got the full hour and the drop-in.

Me and Mr. Beau Brown had a great conversation with the guy. We discussed his process, his nerd influences, and comic books.

Listen now! Adam WarRock gives you his comic book recommendations! How can you go wrong?
