How Comic Book Couples Counseling Built One of Comics’ Best Podcasts

Описание: Today I’m joined by Brad and Lisa from Comic Book Couples Counseling, one of the most respected voices in comic book podcasting. We talk about how their show evolved, what it’s like creating content together as a couple, the hidden work behind running a podcast, and how they launched The Stacks, their awesome creator focused YouTube series inspired by the Criterion Closet.

We also get into comic book YouTube, audience growth, creator interviews, staying positive online, and a whole lot of comic talk including Batman, All-Star Superman, Bone, Hellboy, Silver Surfer, and more.

If you love comics, creator conversations, and hearing smart people geek out without sounding like homework, this one’s for you.
