Podcasts for Comic Book Movie Nerds and Enterprising Side Hustlers

Mobile Phone with wired headphones playing a podcast.
If you haven’t discovered Podcasts yet you’re missing out on an entire world of ready to listen to content covering a whole library of interests that you can download into your favorite mobile podcast app and listen to at your convenience. If you have I thought I’d spend take the opportunity to recommend some of the podcasts I’m listening to.

My podcast app of choice is Beyond Pod for Android but any podcast app will probably do. Once you have your app installed search for these shows from within the app.

Comic Book Movie Podcasts

If you haven’t noticed I’m a total comic book movie nerd but I don’t really know anyone who likes these movies as much as I do. Consequently I seek out podcasts where I can hear all kinds of discussions surrounding these movies, from the moment they are first announced, to a scene by scene, spoiler breakdown of the final movie release (after I’ve seen the film of course).
  • Fatman Beyond - Director, Kevin Smith, and screen writer Marc Bernardin, deliver a usually live show (from the Scum and Villainy Cantina), talking all things Marvel, DC, and other comic book related topics. Very casual show with plenty of humor and the occasional guest.
     
  • Batman-on-Film - Official podcast of the Batman-on-Film website features site founder Bill ‘Jett’ Ramey and a selection of regular contributors. While the focus is primarily on Batman movies the discussion does extend to other upcoming DC film releases.
     
  • DC Films Squadcast - Similar to Batman-on-Film but with deeper discussions on all DC movie properties. Hosts Tim Yoko and Scott McClellan, while DC fans, will still let you know if something isn’t quite what they’d hoped for, but generally with a constructive discussion that may get you thinking.
     
  • MCU Fan Show - Sean Gerber and Paul Herman dissect all things MCU related. Sean is by far one of the most knowledgeable comic book movie podcasters around, with not just comic book movie content but plenty of understanding of the movie business behind the scenes. (Really wish he’d bring back his DCU Fan Show as well). This show is a must for MCU fans.
     
  • The Weekly Planet - An all Australian Podcast that’s gained international following thanks to hosts Mr Sunday Movies (James Brooks) and Nick Mason, who always deliver highly entertaining and hilarious commentary, yet still manage to dive deep, on all things comic book movie related (or even sometimes not related).

Podcasts for Enterprising Side Hustlers

Just like with comic book movies, I don’t really know anyone who is constantly working on some kind of side hustle, trying to make enough to cover living expenses, so I never actually have to work a ‘regular job’. Again I turn to podcasts for tips and advice.
  • Side Hustle School - Chris Guillebeau has become synonymous with inspiring people to live independent lives outside of the 9 to 5 rat race. Side Hustle school is his daily, ten minute podcast featuring real people and how they started their side hustles. Listen to the daily show or explore the 3-4 year back catalogue of shows for side hustles you may like to try yourself. Well worth exploring the Side Hustle School website for episodes too for all the show notes. Chris has also written a number of books including The $100 Start Up.
     
  • The Mind Your Business Podcast - A very different type of podcast, host, James Wedmore, explores how you can be more successful through mindset and thinking your way to success, often with guests and success stories from his Business By Design Course. It’s all a bit Woo-woo (as he sometimes says) but I’ve actually had a few shows really be more than helpful, and I’m definitely not into ‘woo-woo’ thinking. Again worth exploring the show’s website for back episodes. I highly recommend Episode 125 if you’re dealing with any kind of long term pain that isn’t responding to medical treatment (be warned, you may not like what you hear but it’s definitely worth hearing).
     
  • ProBlogger Podcast - Not currently actively publishing episodes, I’m still mentioning it because it’s well worth diving into the back catalogue to do the 31 days to a better blog challenge. If you’re in any way interested in starting a money making blog, host, Darren Rowse, is the recognized guru of earning a full time living from blogging. He’s still very active on the ProBlogger website (as he should be).
Do you listen to any good podcasts that you would like to recommend? I’m always on the look out for new shows (particularly comic book movie and business podcasts). Feel free to recommend your favorite shows in comments below.

Boom Crash Opera Born Classic But Not Again

Boom Crash Opera are an Australian Band that reached the peak of their popularity in the mid to late nineteen eighties. They are a band that I knew about at that time but was never really excited by until they released their ill fated double album Born and Born Again in 1995 (Album cover pictured). At the time of its release I was very much into emerging Australian musical acts and was also looking out for new sounds that were different and had kind of a futuristic/electronic sound. Artists that I was buying at the time included; Swoop , Nine Inch Nails and Pop Will Eat Its Self . As well as a really interesting release by David Bowie, the concept album, Outside . Born was a fairly radical departure for Boom Crash Opera (BCO). The first single, Gimme , was often compared to the sounds of Gary Glitter, particularly his single, Rock n Roll part 2 , because of the pounding drum loops. Watch the video below. My favorite single from the album is dissemble which probably went now...

Kids today are smarter than their parents?

Mother's Bed Art Board Print by TET. Available from RedBubble . How often have you heard it said that kids today are smarter than their parents? I’ve heard it quite frequently in the media – even Dr Phil has said it. I say speak for yourself. It’s not true and don’t let the media fool you. Today’s kids may have access to more information that may give them more choices but in my experience, they only take in what they want to hear and still make stupid, uninformed decisions. Just like we used to at their age. Like any cross section of people there will be exceptions. There are kids that are genuinely smarter, more mature and responsible for their age. However the vast majority know everything they need to know by the time they turn fourteen. They’re ‘adult’ enough to be responsible for all their own decision making so parents should just let them do what they please…right? Just like we thought at fourteen. Don’t be fooled. Just because your son knows how to download MP3’s onto an i...

Embarrassing Yourself with Doof Doof Music

Ever since Spinal Tap popularized the notion of turning an amp up to eleven audio systems have been rising to the challenge of louder, more awesome sound. In particular, car audio systems have embraced the notion of the bigger the noise the better the sound must surely be. What I'd like to know is, if these sound systems are so good, why do they make all music sound the same... Doof, Doof, Doof? You've all heard them. Pimped up cars, with audio systems seemingly worth more than gold, volume blasting way past eleven. Sound waves booming long before you make a positive visual on the car... Doof, Doof, Doof. It has to be the audio system right? Surely all these people can't be playing the same tune? Doof, Doof, Doof. Could it be that the more money spent on a car sound system the less musical range it will actually play? Maybe these people can't afford to buy music after purchasing the audio system so they all play the same demo track? Doof, doof, doof. In my own car I hav...

What If Being Yourself Isn't Good Enough?

One of my most personal public videos is a collection of outtakes edited together with my narration, read word for word, from my blog post written back on August 5th, 2007 titled Is Being Me Good Enough?  I made the similarly titled video the next day. At the time the video (which you can view below) generated some discussion in the comments and was a real turning point for me personally in how I thought about myself and how I presented on camera. It took a weight off my shoulders. [Note that especially for this article I've re-edited and re-uploaded the video to Youtube because the last sentence on the original version was cut off by Youtube's uploader. The new version is identical other than I've added a title screen at the beginning and cropped the footage for 16:9 ratio - plus added some length to the end to ensure it doesn't get the last line cut again.] I came to be thinking about this video again because of my latest video diaries - which I will...

Is AI Art 'Art'? The Say NO to AI Art Movement, and Why Human Artists Will Adapt

AI Art No T-Shirt by TET Also available on other items . Right now there is a big debate over not just whether AI art is 'art' but whether AI's are actually ripping off the work of actual human artists, without their consent, to create their images - particularly images 'in the style of' specific artists. From my own observations this debate started to get more traction when artist's signatures began appearing in the output of AI Art  image generators. Is It Art? Cool Froyd the Cat Sketch by TET. My style is very much influenced by classic Disney and WB character styles. To get some clarity on how real human artists work (of which I am one)... we, that is all of us... take influences from the art that has come before. i.e. whatever artists we like, have studied, seen etc. we are influenced by. It shows up in our work, intentionally or not. If you really study my own cartoony art style you'll see I'm heavily influenced by early Disney and Warner Bros cart...

Bruce, South Australia - A Forgotten Aussie Town with Spectacular Landscape Views and Potential

The Bruce Railway Station. Now a private residence. V isiting the almost forgotten town of Bruce reminds me of visiting Silverton back in 2007, except Silverton has been revived into a kind of arts town with a very famous pub. Bruce, on the other hand seems a little too spread out, and a bit too out of the way to make a similar 'arts' kind of revival. Bruce's Pub appears to be an art studio with signs of restoration work in progress. The main part of town appears to be the Bruce railway station (now a private residence) and a pub, also privately owned and possibly was, or still is, and artist studio. Other buildings and homesteads are set fairly wide apart, and are mostly privately owned homes. You don't get much sense of being in a town as such. I'm told there are approximately 14 local residents/families? Once earmarked to be a commercial centre, Bruce fell by the wayside after successive floods and drought in its early years. Obviously the railway line is no lo...
