Following our mini-break over the Christmas period (also the reason why I haven’t posted in a couple of weeks – I’ve been out of the country), we’re back with another instalment of the podcast. This time round, we’re looking at Earth One, the Marvel Adventures cancellation, DC’s plans for co-features and the X-Men First Class movie. We’re also reviewing Daytripper<\/em>, X-Factor<\/em> and The Tick<\/em>, and we’ve got a special festive edition of the Official Handbook of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe.<\/p>\n

The big news for us is that we have a professional-level microphone now, instead of just having to bellow incoherently in the direction of the Macbook. What this should mean is that it’s a less echoing affair, that most background noise is cut out and that the podcast should be slightly quieter (so you may have to play it at a higher volume level than you’d usually play it at). Podomatic has also decided to start offering the ability to put chapters into a podcast, so I’ve done that too. Not sure whether it will make any practical difference, but it’s fun to play with the toys. The upshot of this, though, appears to be that the file is being distributed by Podomatic as an .m4a file rather than .mp3, so if that causes any problems (or at least ones that can’t be fixed by renaming the file extension) let us know.<\/p>\n

The podcast is here<\/a> – let us know what you think, either in the comments thread, on Twitter, by email or by yodelling at us off the side of an Alp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
