Wait, What? Ep. 67.2: Claus

Although I usually wait until our podcasts hit iTunes before I create the SavCrit entries, I think this site is going to have Ep. 67 before iTunes does, for maybe as much as a day. So we invite you to curl up around a nice fire and listen to us wax both naughty and nice (oh man that imagery but it's too late now just keep forging ahead with me) right before Xmenmas.

Oh, and in case you're interested in what our gift list pics were and don't want to listen to our nattering voices, I've included the rough version of the list after the jump. Feel free to check it out and let us know what we've missed!

Sometimes I think Graeme and I would do well to learn something like moderation. We took a week off -- a week off during which we saw each other and hung out, mind you -- and then when we got back together we talked for something like THREE HOURS, almost all about comic books.

Yeah, but so then. Here's part 1 of Wait, What? Ep. 48, wherein Graeme and I talk roommates (briefly), the Marvel Architects (perplexedly), Tom Brevoort (awe-struckedly), and, of course, Fear Itself #4 and Flashpoint #3. I'm trying to be a bit better about the context thing so that link for Mr. TB takes you right to the article quoted in our episode my G.McM.

You should've been able to find this sucker on iTunes by now, but if not (or should you prefer to listen to it directly on your web browser), you can certainly do so here:

Wait, What? Ep. 48.1: Talk Itself

Future installments be coming along in the next day or so. And, as always, we hope you enjoy! Thanks for listening.
