Guest Spot on The Radioactive Lounge Comics Podcast

Art by Sacha Bryning.

Oh hi.

HRU?

Good I hope.

I'm well too.

One long vanishment from this ye olde blogge later, I have returned, yet again, to let you know about a guest spot I did on another podcast - The Radioactive Lounge: A Comics Podcast.

This time around, I was invited to be on a Melbourne based podcast to act like a conduit for two of the co-hosts in particular to have a rolling chat about toys and toy lines they thought were "weird."

Whether a toy is weird or odd or outrageous can often be entirely subjective and the basis of many podcast segments but within the context of this particular discussion, the main points they wanted to cover included the M*A*S*H toy line, Dukes of Hazzard's Vance and Coy figures and Mego's The Love Boat line as well as random anomalies from licenses like Harry Potter and Masters of the Universe.

I'm not on the show until around the 75 minute mark BUT if you want to hear about other stuff not said by yours truly...be my guest, I'm not your real parent figure!

Here's the link if you'd like to listen.

Podcast Guest Spot on The Lachlan McLeod Show



This latest guest spot by yours truly on The Lachlan McLeod Show focuses heavily on the discussion of Amazon's recent decision to cut Australia off from purchasing from its international sites due to new GST laws for purchases under $1000. We talk about what it will potentially mean, the wider implications and its impending impact on those who rely on the variety and accessibility of sites like Amazon as a part of their independence.

And yes. Amazon are cutting Australia off.  It's totally a thing that's happening.

The Lachlan McLeod Show is about navigating life with quadriplegia. It focuses on his passions and adventures in daily living.

It's also embedded on the right hand side of the screen just above Recommended Links.

We talk about various action dollies and Lachlan asks me questions about the origin of $1 Hulk Bloke on Instagram/Youtube and the recent video Toy Talk. We mention Deadpool 2 very briefly and that you should totally see it. And that we bought that new Marvel Legends Ghost Rider. OFF AMAZON.

Podcast Guest Spot on The Lachlan McLeod Show


Hoard World, Lachlan McLeod and Ghostbeard13

HELLO.

After years of refusing to be on other people's podcasts because I'm a goddamn diva, I finally buckled when my good pal Lachlan McLeod put the hard word on me last Saturday. And boy did we podcast.

In the recorded 150 minutes that transpired we covered  FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2018 at All Star Comics Melbourne, what people were wearing on the day and a selection of FCBD titles as well as 108 minutes of topics like MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE TOYS , GROWING UP IN THE 80S AND 90S, SUPER POWERS TOYS,  BATMAN, JACK COLE'S UNTIMELY DEMISE, THE LONGING FOR MARVEL MERCH AND DECENT MARVEL MOVIES AS A KID and much, much more.

If you've ever wanted to listen to two unashamed Aussie nerds talk shit for as long as the running time of Avengers: Infinity War, now's your chance!

Listen to Hoard World's very first podcast as a guest on The Lachlan McLeod Show HERE.
