TOOLS OF THE TRADE panel from BCC 2025: (l to r) David Petersen, Stan Sakai, Zoe Thorogood, and Jeff Smith)

Here's a hint which panel from Baltimore Comicon is tomorrow's episode (pic courtesy of CBCC Brad)...

Quick Programming Note: no episode this week, as instead of prepping for Baltimore Comicon, we're recovering from it. BUT we will be back next Thursday with audio from one of two panels I moderated. Which one could it be????

And Baltimore Day 3 is done as well! Fantastic weekend; thanks to everybody who came out to the panels and helped make them really special. Looking forward to recovering and getting this stuff show-ready ASAP!

Plus I noticed Brad from @cbccpodcast.bsky.social in the audience grabbing some pics, so there are some nice photos of the Eisner-stacked panel over on their feed!

Baltimore Day 2 is now in the can as well! Both panels went great. Audio has been confirmed recorded for the TOOLS panel (always a happy moment!). The SHOPPING one wasn't really episode conducive, but the film is great and we're looking to have Wes on the show to chat about it soon!

Jack Kirby with the line "No Kings but Kirby" underneath.

Stan introduced himself to her with "I do a book called USAGI YOJIMBO" with absolutely ZERO ego. I wanted to say "I think she knows, Stan!" because I'm a cynical bastard. But it was ADORABLE!

Baltimore Day 1 is in the can! Stan Sakai is an absolute gem and our panel audio came out great! Look for it on the feed soon!

Quick Programming Note: no episode this week - got caught up in prep for Baltimore Comicon tomorrow & this weekend. But looking forward to getting some good stuff from the show to share!
