My Summer Lair Chapter #211: Is Your Creativity In Balance?

I’ll keep this brief as Sean will properly introduce himself and his freshtastic podcast The Creative Imbalance. Dude just hit a milestone of 150 episodes though as he’ll share his journey there are more than 150 episodes.

A remarkable achievement since so many start a podcast and don’t well…finish a podcast. The technical term is podfade; this typically happens with less than 10 episodes; a podcast just abruptly stops issuing new episodes. Itunes is really a podcast graveyard; a memorial of shattered dreams.

It is a lot of work to craft a podcast; the classic war of attrition and despite that long hard war Sean is still standing; still smiling and still seeking growth.

He and I used to record in a bar in downtown Toronto the Pacific Junction Hotel bar and we’ve since transitioned into new formats and new styles while still having old fun. As you’ll hear Sean is good with the technical EQ and the emotional IQ which which makes him a special if not quirky podcast host.

Congratulations Sean on 150 episodes! Here’s to a 150 more.

Joe Rogan is the new Howard Stern where listeners are shamed. Different host same condemnation.

THANK YOU for taking the time to listen to My Pal Sammy Episode 1. This is a short podcast mini-series to keep me occupied during the Christmas break. An experiment if you will.

The second episode is up. Wanted to get the 3rd up before 2018 expired but it doesn’t appear like that’ll happen. Emphasis on break…as in Christmas break. The series is meant to capture some of my thoughts about what I’ve been consuming since this is my prime TV watching time.

What will not make the cut, however, is the following observation…

The NY Times calls Karen Berger “Comics’ Mother of ‘the Weird Stuff.”

As I say in this exhilarating Back Issue Bloodbath episode…this is a Warren Ellis comic book…if you dig Warren you’ll dig this.

Do like you did in high school…skip the (Infinity Gauntlet comic) book and go see the movie (Avengers: Infinity War). That’s the PSA takeaway from the latest Back Issue Bloodbath!

Can I get personal for a moment? Typically I share feelings face to face not in this space.

Steve Trevor is one of the lamest most worthless comic book characters (anyone who saw the recent Wonder Woman can attest to this fact; and Steve impressively sucks in a DC world filled with losers like Jimmy Olsen, Cyborg, Lois Lane…Spoiler etc.).

75 years and he’s accomplished…well nothing.

This. Book. Is. Everything. One of my favourite comics. I am grateful my parents spent the time teaching me how to read. One of the last times Spider-Man would be baptized in darkness: he’s now Marvel’s gateway drug to seduce children and sell em bed sheets. Damn.

There’s so much I wanted to say…about where we are and where we’ve been: I just didn’t have the vocabulary. Damn.

Still here’s Andrew and I talking Kraven’s Last Hunt…thanks for listening. As always on Facebook you can like Back Issue Bloodbath and Geek Hard for more nerdery.

Listen NOW!
If you’re gonna geek out, GEEK HARD!
