This is Comic Geeks Speak, episode 1198, the comic book podcast companion interview.

All right, in this episode, we dig into the CGS Vault to give you this previously unaired recording.

This is the interview we did with Eric Houston for his book, the comic book podcast companion, from Tomorrow's Publishing.

This interview was conducted in April of 2008, and by that time, the CGS podcast had been going on for a little over three years.

The book actually came out a little over a year later in June of 2009, and it is still available at thetomorrows.com. Most of this

interview was used in the book, but there was a segment that was cut out entirely.

So if you're following along in the book, when you get to it, you'll know that that's what was cut out.

If you've come across our podcast by our recent visit to the London Super Comic Convention,

we want to welcome me to our show.

I hope you enjoy it.

Also, because we're not in studio this week, because we're recovering from the London Convention.

I'm recording this right now on just the microphone in the laptop and not our studio mics.

So there may be a little jarring when you go to the interview after this segment.

It does get a little louder, so please be prepared.

So, here you go.

All right.

Thank you guys so much for agreeing to do this, first off.

Oh, it's our pleasure.

Yes.

And I know I talk to Brian and Peter, but it's, again, this is just for a two-mile-hour book we're putting together as a companion for a comic book podcast, like the Blue Beetle companion, the Krypton companion.

So, you know, that's pretty much what we're going to be talking about as your show.

We can talk about that, I think.
