Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

In this episode of Geek Freaks, Frank sits down once again with comic writer Scott Wilke to talk about his latest installment in the Periwinkle Saga— Frost . Scott reveals the dark holiday-themed universe he's building with gritty one-shots like Cupid and Frost , blending inspiration from John Wick, Pulp Fiction, and classic holiday lore. He also shares what’s coming next in the saga ( O’Hare ), explores the storytelling challenges of single-issue comics, and teases other upcoming Bad Bug projects including Junk World , Murder Mary , and Xeno Geist . This one’s a must-listen for indie comic fans and anyone who loves morally complex heroes. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Introduction and Scott’s return 00:29 The origin and tone of Frost 01:34 John Wick vibes and Arturo Meza’s vital role 02:16 Expansion plans for the Periwinkle universe 03:35 The mob power vacuum behind the Periwinkle stories 04:07 Why holiday mythology makes a great sandbox 05:13 Morally gray characters and relatability 06:52 The human side of Jack Frost and father-son dynamics 08:09 How Scott collaborates with artist Arturo 09:43 Trusting the artist to elevate the vision 12:09 Writing method and storyboarding for comics 13:35 Film influences in structure and tone 15:28 Why Periwinkle is still a must-read 16:07 Preview of upcoming titles: Junk World , Murder Mary , Xeno Geist 20:07 New artistic collaborations and creative challenges 22:04 Where to follow Scott online 23:10 Kickstarter's evolving role in indie comics 25:10 Passion over profit and creative freedom 25:47 If Scott could write for the Big Two: Superman or Punisher? 27:34 Final thoughts and where to start in the Periwinkle Saga Key Takeaways: Frost is a gritty, John Wick-style one-shot starring Jack Frost as a hitman in a mythological mob war. The Periwinkle Saga is building toward crossover stories, but each one-shot can be enjoyed on its own. Artist Arturo Meza plays a huge role in maintaining the cohesive tone and world-building. Scott uses film structure and storyboard planning to craft compact, character-driven narratives. New titles like Junk World and Murder Mary reflect Scott’s range—from space smuggling to fourth-wall-breaking mayhem. Kickstarter provides unmatched creative freedom and direct reader engagement for indie creators. Despite writing morally gray stories, Scott's dream characters to write include Superman and Punisher. Quotes: 🗯️ "Frost is my love letter to John Wick... He’s not just a killer—he’s trying to break free of his father’s shadow." 🗯️ "Each one-shot tells its own story, but for those following closely, the saga is building toward something much bigger." 🗯️ "Arturo learned English through Tarantino movies—so our comics were always going to be wild." 🗯️ "Kickstarter is where indie comics thrive. It’s not about profit—it’s about passion and storytelling." Call to Action: Love comics with a gritty twist and deep mythology?

In this episode of Geek Freaks Interviews, Frank is joined by Mark Domeier, a passionate middle school English teacher from Minnesota who uses comic books and pop culture to bring reading and writing to life for his students. With a collection of over 14,000 comics, Mark shares how he leverages his love for superheroes and stories like Star Wars , The Outsiders , and even The Mandalorian to make literature relevant and fun. We explore how comic books support reading comprehension, creativity, and engagement, and how fandom can help students find their voice in writing. Whether you're an educator, comic lover, or lifelong geek, this episode is full of inspiration. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 – Intro and welcome 00:22 – Mark’s comic collection and using comics in education 01:08 – Visual storytelling and reading comprehension 02:53 – Mark’s first comic subscription and lifelong love of Spider-Man 04:22 – From Marvel to DC: Expanding fandom 05:59 – What inspired Mark to become a teacher 07:07 – Encouraging reading through comics and creative assignments 08:01 – Teaching with Star Wars in the classroom 09:57 – Using essays to analyze Star Wars and develop critical thinking 11:29 – Comics in lessons: Drawing stories, analyzing narratives 13:17 – Creative final projects: Comic books, screenplays, and songs 16:08 – Fighting for creativity in the age of AI 18:23 – Middle school creativity vs. deeper literary structures 21:08 – MCU, Mandalorian, and how current media inspires students 23:37 – From the classroom to pop culture essays and fandom discussion 25:01 – Connecting WWII and Star Wars in teaching Anne Frank 26:32 – Fandoms showing students what makes a good person 29:07 – Using sports fandom in class to build engagement 30:55 – Funko Pops, Stephen King, and knowing your students 33:02 – Meeting students where they are and guiding them forward 35:40 – Advice for teachers using fandom in education 38:29 – Closing thoughts and gratitude Key Takeaways: Comics can help students visualize and understand stories, boosting comprehension and engagement. Students are more likely to connect with material when they see their interests and strengths reflected in it. Pop culture like Star Wars and the MCU can be tools for teaching analysis, persuasive writing, and historical parallels. Offering students options in how they express learning—whether through art, comics, or music—promotes creativity. Teachers must adapt to their students’ learning styles and passions, especially in a world increasingly impacted by AI. Fandom isn’t just entertainment—it’s a pathway to deeper learning and connection. Memorable Quotes: “If you read 20 or 25 comic books, that’s the same as reading a novel.” “Every student should read The Outsiders . I’ve taught it almost every year of my career.” “I’m just going to go out kicking and screaming, fighting to make kids be creative.” “I remember being a kid and wishing that I could be bitten by a radioactive spider.” Call to Action: If you loved this episode, subscribe to Geek Freaks Interviews on your favorite podcast app. Leave us a review, share the episode with your fellow educators and comic fans, and tag us with your thoughts using #GeekFreaksPod!

In this episode of Geek Freaks Interviews , Frank sits down with acclaimed author Barry Lyga to explore his multifaceted writing career spanning comics, YA thrillers, and prose adaptations of iconic superhero stories. Barry opens up about his journey from comics to novels, his work on the I Hunt Killers trilogy, how he crafted Thanos' backstory for Marvel Studios, and what it was like building an alternate DC Universe through The Flash book series. From creating Free Comic Book Day to writing some of the darkest scenes of his career, Barry brings insight, humor, and a deep love for the medium. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Intro and Barry Lyga’s career overview 00:32 From comics to novels: The origin of Fanboy and Goth Girl 02:07 Common theme: Writing from the outsider’s perspective 03:37 Writing Wolverine: Worst Day Ever and the young outsider angle 04:24 How comics shaped his prose style and genre-blending 06:27 Switching genres with I Hunt Killers 08:11 Making dark characters likable 09:15 Challenges writing from a new POV and writing Superman 11:15 Behind the scenes of The Flash tie-in novels 14:17 Using obscure DC characters like Ambush Bug 18:14 Capturing Barry Allen’s voice and injecting science 20:52 Writing Thanos: Titan Consumed for the MCU 23:00 The challenge of creating Thanos without key Marvel characters 27:17 Matching the tone of Infinity War without seeing it 28:43 Thanos’ logic and why doubling resources wouldn't work 29:32 The origin of Free Comic Book Day 33:11 Modern comic book accessibility and barriers 35:53 The limits of digital comics today 38:16 The release of Before the Hunt and going indie 40:31 Final thoughts and where to find Barry’s books Key Takeaways: Barry Lyga’s stories consistently center around outsiders, a reflection of his own childhood. His novel Wolverine: Worst Day Ever explores being an outsider among outsiders. Writing Thanos: Titan Consumed required building a full backstory that matched the MCU without relying on comic continuity. The Flash book series was set in an alternate timeline to allow more creative freedom while respecting CW’s canon. Free Comic Book Day began as a brainstorm to unite the comic book industry and increase visibility for local shops. Barry's newest release, Before the Hunt , is a self-published anthology of prequel stories to I Hunt Killers . Memorable Quotes: “I think outsiders typically have a really interesting perspective on what’s going on.” “Creation is harder than destruction—that’s why Thanos didn’t double resources.” “You don’t have to be one kind of writer. It’s all about the story.” “I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw Infinity War . I thought, that’s my Thanos.” “Stop recommending Watchmen to new readers.” Call to Action: Enjoyed this episode?

Tolkien’s influence runs deep, and Sparks shares personal connections and insights into the master’s creative legacy.

Mentorship shortens the learning curve and provides real-world insight that no classroom can replicate. In modern filmmaking, every creator needs to understand producing and marketing.

And you’re not going to spend the money without filmmakers.” 🎙️ “Mentorship can shave off years of learning. But I’m still being mentored myself—I just spent four hours learning TikTok.” 🎙️ “Story is what people care about. Not budget. Not logistics.

In this compelling episode of Geek Freaks, Frank sits down with writer Aubrey Sitterson to discuss Free Planet , a new sci-fi epic from Image Comics. Aubrey dives deep into the book’s core themes of freedom, discipline, and revolution, sharing the research and inspiration behind his sprawling geopolitical space opera. From unreliable narrators and anthropological influences to the vital contributions of collaborators like artist Jed Dougherty, letterer Taylor Esposito, and colorist Vittorio Astone, this conversation unpacks how Free Planet became one of the most ambitious and layered comics of the year. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 – Introduction and welcome to Aubrey Sitterson 00:19 – What is Free Planet ? A saga meets East of West 01:03 – The surprising popularity of Talon 02:08 – The origins of Free Planet and its political lens 04:30 – Revolutionary history and real-world inspirations 06:02 – Exploring what freedom really means 07:53 – Visual storytelling: spreads, charts, and page design 09:46 – Conflict, compromise, and food shortages 11:09 – The comic as literature and object 12:30 – Sci-fi inspirations: Ursula K. Le Guin, Dune, and more 14:17 – Research over aesthetics: grounding the story in truth 16:29 – The balance between interpersonal drama and grand politics 18:06 – How character dynamics reflect ideological tension 20:14 – Page-by-page scripting and Jed’s visual genius 22:34 – Weapon design, faction identity, and world-building layers 24:49 – Collaborative storytelling and artistic contributions 25:54 – Lettering innovations and layered voice design 28:01 – Dr. August Ferrucci and the historical narration 30:00 – On bias, narration, and the illusion of neutrality 31:01 – Bonus material and hand-painted covers 34:11 – Liefeld-inspired layouts and homage as design 36:15 – The difference between mimicry and foundational homage 39:07 – Talon and Basil’s contrasting voices in lettering 42:00 – Robert Kirkman’s blurb and industry recognition 43:01 – Print versus digital: Why Free Planet demands paper Key Takeaways: Free Planet explores the complexities of freedom, revolution, and post-war society through a sci-fi lens. Aubrey Sitterson researched real-world revolutions, anthropology, and political theory to shape the book’s nuanced world. The comic is intentionally designed as a print-first experience, leveraging double-page spreads, infographics, and layered visual storytelling. Artist Jed Dougherty's page compositions elevate the script, and his designs actively shape the story's evolution. The lettering by Taylor Esposito adds character distinction and thematic nuance, including subtle cues like font shifts and balloon changes. Dr. August Ferrucci’s backmatter essays expand the story’s lore, offering unreliable but informative narration akin to historical texts. Free Planet is “actively hostile” to digital—intended for readers who want to sit, think, and truly absorb a comic. Quotes: “It’s not just about what freedom is—but what we’re willing to sacrifice for it.” – Aubrey Sitterson “There’s not another comic on the rack like this.” – Frank “Talon was so popular early on that I rewrote the outline to give him more of the spotlight.” – Aubrey “We wanted Free Planet to be both art and literature.” – Aubrey “The narration is factual—but even neutrality is a choice.” – Aubrey Call to Action: If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe to Geek Freaks on your favorite podcast app, leave a review, and share it with fellow comic fans using #GeekFreaksPodcast.

In this episode of Geek Freaks, Frank sits down with acclaimed horror comic writer Rich Davis to explore his newest dark fantasy project Angel Hunter . From its origins as a joke to a full-fledged manga-inspired saga, Rich opens up about the creative process, his love for horror, and the deep personal influences behind his storytelling. The conversation covers everything from kaiju and fallen angels to the future of comic publishing—and even includes a heartfelt tangent about rescued dogs.

Rich’s storytelling is deeply influenced by personal experiences, including vivid childhood nightmares and a strong religious upbringing. He writes from a place of emotional truth, grounding fantasy in human emotion like fear, love, and loss. Floppies are no longer sustainable in indie comics— Angel Hunter will launch as full-volume trades to better serve readers. Rich and artist Les form a creative duo with a shared vision and dedication that drives their projects. Kickstarter is the primary launchpad for Angel Hunter , with volume one targeting an affordable price point despite high production quality. Memorable Quotes: “Everything that I write comes from a nightmare… Once you name the monster, the monster’s not scary anymore.” – Rich Davis “I treat the Bible, the Talmud, and the Quran like mythology—because I’m not preaching, I’m storytelling.” – Rich Davis “Floppies are dead. But give someone a $9.99 Image trade, and they’ll grab three.” – Rich Davis “Shiri Mojo… she's an amazing character—and also, yes, she's a hot blonde anime chick. We’re not going to pretend that’s not a draw.” – Rich Davis “Write what you know. I used to hate that phrase. Now I understand it’s how you put heart into your fantasy.” – Rich Davis Call to Action: Love discovering new worlds? Support Angel Hunter on Kickstarter and be part of a bold new vision in comics.

In a world where pop culture shapes and defines our identities, Holly Swinyard stands out as a beacon, illuminating the profound impact of fandom on society. With their latest book, "A History of Fans and Fandom," Holly delves into the intricate world of fan culture, unraveling its history, psychology, and social significance. A Multifaceted Exploration During a recent interview with Geek Freaks, Holly shared insights about their book, which transcends mere historical recounting. “It’s part history, part social commentary, part a deep dive into the psyche of fans,” Holly explained. Their goal was to create an unbiased narrative that encompasses the joys and challenges of being a fan. They aimed to bridge the gap between avid fans and those who view fandom from the outside, offering a comprehensive understanding of why people are drawn to various subcultures. Connecting Through Fandom One of the standout aspects of Holly's book is the exploration of personal connections formed through fandom. Holly emphasized that many people discover their passion for a particular fandom through loved ones. "Almost everybody I spoke to said that the fandom most important to them was introduced by someone they loved," Holly noted. This idea resonates deeply with Holly, whose own love for "The Lord of the Rings" was nurtured by their father. These connections highlight the universal human need for storytelling and shared experiences. Historical Roots and Modern Implications Holly's research uncovered fascinating historical parallels, such as Shakespearean clubs in the 1700s, which laid the groundwork for modern fan conventions. These early fan gatherings featured discussions, performances, and even merchandise, mirroring contemporary events like Comic-Con. Holly's book traces the evolution of fandom from these early instances to present-day phenomena, providing readers with a rich tapestry of fan culture's development. The Influence of Social Media In discussing the impact of technology on fandom, Holly acknowledged the double-edged sword that social media presents. While platforms like Twitter and TikTok have made fandom more accessible, they have also homogenized fan experiences. Holly pointed out that algorithms often lump diverse fan interests together, creating friction among fans with differing preferences. Despite these challenges, Holly remains optimistic about the potential for online communities to foster meaningful connections and discussions. Personal Reflections and Catharsis Writing "A History of Fans and Fandom" was a deeply personal journey for Holly. They admitted to being surprised by how much of themselves they poured into the book. “I ended up putting so much more of myself into this book than I ever thought I would,” Holly shared. This introspective approach adds a layer of authenticity to their work, allowing readers to relate to the emotional nuances of fandom. Leadership and Responsibility in Fandom Holly also touched on the emerging trend of fan influencers and community leaders who shape the discourse within their respective fandoms. They highlighted the importance of these figures in promoting positive values and addressing issues like toxicity and inclusivity. By acknowledging their platform and striving to foster a supportive environment, these leaders play a crucial role in the evolution of fan culture. Conclusion Holly Swinyard's "A History of Fans and Fandom" is more than just a book; it’s a celebration of the passion and creativity that define fan culture. Through meticulous research and personal anecdotes, Holly offers a unique perspective on what it means to be a fan. Whether you're a seasoned fan or new to the world of fandom, Holly’s work provides valuable insights into the power of stories and the communities that form around them.

Hey all! Allen Dunford is back to talk about Grandma Chainsaw! Imagine your car breaking down on a quiet road in the middle of a damp forest. You find a shabby house and possible respite. Inside, a tiny and frail-looking grandma. You shrug and smile politely as she offers you tea and points to her small dining table. As you sit in the scruffy but clean kitchen, you suddenly realize you are alone. You hear the shuffling of slippers and the slight rattle of a teacup as the old woman, named Hazel, approaches from behind. She smiles while you drink the bitter tea. You are nodding along to her stories and slyly checking your watch, hoping the tow truck arrives soon. Your focus lifts as you begin to feel lightheaded. Then dizzy. Darkness surrounds your vision and you are rendered unconscious. You slowly open your eyes. Then quickly. Your body is sore. You're on a tarp, on the floor. Completely tied up. You hear the shuffling slippers and a new metallic rattle. Hazel arrives, still smiling. Dragging a well-worn chainsaw. "Well good morning, deary."
