The Earth Station One Podcast

In 1917, an artist named Jacob Kurtzburg was born and for the next three quarters of a century, he popped and krackled his way to creating fantastic, bombastic, amazing, astonishing, strange, romantic, suspenseful, thrilling adventures unlike anyone had seen before. Mike, Mike, the award-winning author Bobby Nash and fellow award-winners Mark Maddox and James R. Tuck travel to the Fourth World and back to find the words to express Jack Kirby's influence. We also find just a bit of time to fulfill James' dark fantasy about being strapped to The Geek Seat. Plus, the usual Rants, Raves, Khan Report, and Shout Outs!
