Interview with comic book artist Mark Sparacio

Brian Shearer has a great interview with comic book artist Mark Sparacio over on TPN’s new Comic Review Weekly podcast. I didn’t know Sparacio by name but he’s the very talented guy who did the above painting as well as covers for Marvel and DC Comics. Brian talks to him about how he started working in comics, how he produces his paintings, and his friendship with comic legend Will Eisner. Definitely worth checking out if you’re interested in how the sausage gets made.

A Zanier Than Usual TPN Rock Show

In another of his never-ending series of ideas, Ewan Spence has come up with the idea of asking random people to guest host TPN Rock. I’m currently listening to Richard Vobes’ episode. Whaaaaaacky.

Wayne Turmel and James Manktelow on podcast advertising

John Havens, who writes the Podcasting site for about.com, recently did an interview with TPN’s Wayne Turmel, who does the Cranky Middle Manager podcast, and his show’s first sponsor, James Manktelow, CEO of MindTools. It’s got a lot of detail in it and is a terrific overview from both Wayne and James on TPN’s model of podcast advertising. I’d like to thank John for doing the interview and to James from Mindtools for both talking publicly about his experience as well, of course, for sponsoring the show!
