This week we introduce another member of the crew into the line-up. She has years of radio experience, and is a well-known nerd journalist who has written for Publisher’s Weekly, Topless Robot, MTV Splashpage, and many more. You may know her from her column here at Newsarama, “Hey, That’s My Cape!” It’s The Nerdy Bird herself, Jill Pantozzi!

Newsarama Radio Episode 2: THE WALKING DEAD

Click to listen, Right-Click to Download. Now in mp3 by fan request!

This week’s episode tackles Young Justice, the Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark preview opening, Mark Millar’s KAPOW! Comic convention, and new editorial promotions at DC Comics (and what that might mean to you).

In the break, you’ll hear Kirby Krackle‘s “Ring Capacity.” The nerd rock band covers lots of comic book characters, and with Green Lantern on everyone’s minds with the trailer and all, we thought this was a perfect fit. Thanks, guys!

The main topic this week is THE WALKING DEAD. We talk the TV show, we talk the comic, we talk the rumored firings, we talk racism and controversy, and we go off on two monster tangents about Call of Duty and the Birds of Prey TV show. Why? Because we can, dagnabit.

Speaking of video games, as I did 12 words ago, we also have inside the show an Xbox LIVE Download code courtesy of Microsoft for the Halo: Reach Noble Map Pack, the first DLC for the biggest Xbox 360 exclusive of the year. That one is first come, only serve- Only the first person will get it, so tune in, and see if you’re the fastest to find it!

Newsarama Radio expresses the opinions of the individual hosts, and does not convey the opinion of the site as a whole. However, we’re right 98% of the time, and the other 3% we’re REALLY close.

Intro/Outro music: “Geeked Out” by MC Lars used with permission.

In the first episode of Newsarama Radio, we take a look at some hot news topics, from the Hulk TV show to the Green Lantern Trailer, and the strange case of the Deadpool cancellation process.

After a kick-ass song from our homey MC Lars: “Geeked Out” (which is also serving as our temporary theme song. Thanks, Lars!) we launch into our big topic for the week: The Ultimate Universe.

Hear an idea be born when we talk about the history of the Ultimate Universe, how viable it is (or isn’t?) in today’s market, and postulate a theory on what the upcoming “Death of Spider-Man” storyline could actually mean.

So listen in, and tell us what you think, what YOU want out of a Newsarama Radio show below, and then… wait a couple weeks! Of course we started this thing off right before the holiday, so our next episode won’t be recorded until next week. Have no fear, that just means it’ll be twice the awesome (but not twice the length, that would be ridiculous).
