  • #208: C2, E2, 2A, Lot B
    Apr 6 2026

    From Paris to Chicago, it’s been a crazy week. I find myself at one of the largest cons in the Midwest on its busiest days! This episode takes you to the heart of Hall 2A at C2/E2, even though we started in parking lot B.


    Even with some jet lag and a more subdued schedule I still managed to run into some old friends and make a couple new ones. One the program:


    Returning guests:

    Victor from @Fandads

    Nicole Marhenke from @Peaceloveandfandoms

    Todd Hoffman from @bigtlilt & @wstrmedia


    And new to the program: 501st Star Garrison member

    James Clevenger @cl3v3ng3r.


    We wrap by talking about a newer con in Joliet that has its second show later this September, FAME. We speak with Angelos Storino who’s with the Digital Media Studio of Joliet public library

  • #207: Kings, Smugglers, & Leonardi - Oh my!
    Apr 1 2026

    News and notes with a little European flair! First we talk about the new Smugglers Outpost release, and what a better way to do it than talk with a Topps artist in the middle of Paris! Sketch artist Stephane Leonardi returns to the program to talk about his work on the set and coming back to Chicago later this year for the National.


    We also change gears, and multiple time zones, and invite back friend of the show Anthony King from Force Ghost Conversations to talk about the recent release of the full Maul Shadow Lord Trailer.

  • #206: The Chicago Sports Spectacular
    Mar 14 2026

    The Chicago Sports Spectacular is a show that takes place 2 times a year at the Donald E. Stephans Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. It typically features many sports and entertainment autograph opportunities plus fields a health vendor area for card and sports collectible seekers, plus of late, more places to submit cards and autos for authentication and grading. At the show I got to catch up with with some old friends and vendors to gauge the hobby and show: Andrew ‘Augie’ Augustine - A teacher who has been on the show before and sells an eclectic range of collectibles as a side gig. Sal Barry - Hockey card seller and one part of the Puck Junk podcast team and writes about the hockey card hobby.
