As regular readers of the AudioShocker, you have no doubt learned a lot about Nick and me. Nick’s forays into the comics industry, my proclivities, and our collective feelings on vocoders are far from guarded secrets.
Here’s the thing: The AudioShocker is a lot more than just me and Nick. Have you ever listened to an AFI Podcast? Perhaps you enjoy the occasional AIMCast? I know you read our book reviews. All of those feature one or two of our contributors, the AudioShocker Super Six: Justique, Pete, Kirsten, Conrad, Shannon, and Ro. By day they are ordinary professionals, but as the sun descends they lace up their boots and hit the mean streets for The AudioShocker.
Until now, these not-so-caped crusaders have stood behind the scenes content to put in work - but no longer! We can not stand idly by while these heroes go unnoticed and unappreciated. We have rectified the situation by creating a contributors page to put faces to names. The link is located right up there in the header in between Nick and Feedback. See for yourself just how steaming hot our in house super hero staff is. Spend some time reading their bios and learning about their secret alter egos. Who knows, you even may develop a super-crush!
I was discussing with Nick the other day about how writing movie reviews isn’t worth the effort since we record the podcast during the weekend. With that in mind, here is the ‘txt message review’ (less than 160 characters) that I just sent to a friend:
saw hulk - better than prev. liv tyler is uggo. hate cg. stark cameo sucks.
Sound interesting? Tune in Tuesday for the whole story
As Nick noted earlier, there is no podcast this week. But all is not lost! I rounded up our two favorite readers Ro and Kirsten (Sorry Gotham and Tom), for another super duper AIMcast! So join us as we discuss old comics, Scrubs, Mad Men, Flight of the Conchords, Hillary / Obama / McCain and the presidential race, ugly shoes including Ugg Boots and Crocs, Sandler’s new movie You Don’t Mess With the Zohan, our dislike for Sex and The City, the plight of Borders Bookstores, and so much more.
Once again, special thanks to Kirsten for her excellent editing and Ro for taking time out of her super busy Sunday night.

Ro: or no?
Neal: Neh, it doesn’t.

But not without something special by way of Neal, of course (last I checked, there should be an AIMcast coming your way in place of the podcast). I know all 10 to 20 (HA!) of our regular listeners will be devastated to know that the AudioShocker needs to take a week off.
But listen, this weekend I:
- finished packing my entire apartment
- moved from 9:30am to 3:30pm on Saturday
- made it to the airport by 4:50pm for a 5:35pm flight that got pushed back three hours
- made it to Philly and crashed
- woke up on Sunday and moved an entertainment center
- picked up a dog that is now officially a Pittsburgh resident in my apartment
- made it back to the airport for another delayed flight
- got to my new apartment by 11:45pm
- crashed late but still made it to work today
- replied to Tom Brevoort on my Cup O Joe blog post
- just now finished reviewing five new Marvel comic books coming out this Wednesday
With that said, you’ve got to pick up Iron Man: Legacy of Doom #3. It’s nuts. Liquid tentacles, Iron Man armor with ponytails, and a wiseass Merlin wearing a traditional Bavarian getup. We’re talking mind@#$% Iron Man. It’s awesome.
3 people 1 podcast talking about 2 Girls 1 Cup, Freeway, Chingy, Hitman, Weeds, House, Gantz, Avengers Initiative Annual, Ms Marvel 22, World War Hulk Aftersmash, and tons more.
