We're back with the first proper Alpha Pod Flight for a while! We talk about one of my favourite issues, the 1986 Annual, where there's some ghost stuff (very on brand for me) Diablo is written as a coward and incredibly Shaman doesn't Do A Shaman! Please forgive me for the cover art, I've not got Photoshop at the moment so I did my best using the Snipping Tool.

Alpha Pod Flight - An Alpha Flight Podcast

44 Alpha Pod Flight Alpha Flight Annual Number 1 Anthony Kuchar

Here's an Alpha Not Flight where I let Bill talk about his favourite ever comic, Dungeon Fun! If you're interested in buying the comic (which you should be, it's great) I think the best place to get it might be BHP Comics, who've put the first four issues out in a very handsome trade paperback: https://bhpcomics.squarespace.com/buy-books/dungeon-fun

Dungeon Pod Fun with Bill Hopkins

aka The Immortal Alpha Pod Hulk Flight Matt and me sat down to the little lake thing at the Barbican and occasionally remembered to talk about Alpha Flight, and the Immortal Hulk which alpha Flight have been turning up in, but mostly this is an exercise in tangents, which if you've already heard me talk about alpha Flight a lot is probably some kind of relief.

I'm rejoined my Claire Napier, who helps me make some sense of my conflicted feelings about Alpha Flight #42, which I have to do without a copy of the comic in front of me becasue I'm either the worst podcaster or the absolute BEST podcaster.

Here's the original recorded interview that the text from 'The Exploding Mess' was based on, minus a 10-second clip called 'Fall Damage' which was made by my son. The only person that comes out well in the recording is my daughter, I think, but that's normal.

The Exploding Mess

Rejoined by Douglas Noble and we talk about all sorts of stuff, including the fact that Douglas can only tell the Alpha Flight team apart if they're wearing different clothes to each other, which in this they're mostly not.

Ken Reynolds is back for the NO EDITING PODCAST SPECIAL except there was editing because the connectino kept cutting out. We talk about Alpha Flight Number 2, discuss whether it was rushed because Byrne was busy, whether Puck is Alpha Flight's mascot (of course he's not, FFS Ken) and if Jim Hudson is more of an Iron Man or more of a Captain America.

In a surprise move, I've actually got another podcast ready, and this time it's me and the boss of Facebook Alpha Flight fans, Justin Mohareb, talking about the last ever issue of Cryster, The Crystal Warrior which for some reason has three members of Alpha Flight in (but not the same three as there are on the comic'c cover).

Everything goes black and white a bit this episode, where Steve Thompson joins me to talk about the time Alpha Flight went hunting for Walter Langkowski's soul in the Land Of The Great Beasts. Snowbird does some ethically questionable stuff, Shaman does some minor Shamans and there's some fights. It's all good stuff.

35 Alpha Pod Flight Issue 24 Steve Thompson

Me and Martha talk about How The Grinch Stole Christmas, first the book and then the movie. FWIW I wasn't *that* keen on the movie, but so as not to spoil it for Martha I kept most of my stupid opinions to myself.
