Comic Book Page Podcast
Summary: The Comic Book Page family of podcasts are hosted by John Mayo, a comic book fan who has been reading comics for decades. John buys and reads an average of three or four dozen new comics every week. Every Monday is the Weekly Comics Spotlight with reviews of a current comic by DC, a current comics by Marvel, and a current comic by some other publisher. Once a month are the two Mayo Report episodes. One covers the top 300 comic book sales through Diamond Comics Distribution and the other covers the top trades, hardcovers and other collected editions. Each month the Previews Spotlight goes over the hightlights of the Diamond Previews and Marvel Previews. On occasional, a Back Issue Spotlight will be released covering a comic book story arc from years past. Round Table Discussions on a comic book related topic or recent convention are done on a sporadic basis.

John Mayo and Bob Bretall discuss the contents of the February 2008 Previews catalog and play clips sent in from listeners spotlighting items they picked. Update (2008-02-13 5pm CT): There were some audio glitches in the original version MP3 file. I think I've gotten them fixed so I've uploaded a new version of the MP3 file. Update (JohnMayo @ 2008-02-16 1:25pm CT): Apparently the updated file also had problems. Just different problems in different places. I worked the MP3 file a few more times and this time I'm reasonably sure that the problems have been fixed. The core problems is that the program I had been using for editing the episodes (Audacity) seems to have some major bugs in the "Truncate Silence" function. So, when I ran the function to condense the episode down after silencing the parts that needed to be removed (the "ums", "ahs", "youknows" and other dead space like that), the episode got folded, spindled and mutalated. In this particular case, the episode went from an original length of 1:49:53 down to the current length of 1:26:09 once the dead space was removed. The bottom line is that I've uploaded a new and hopefully final version of the MP3 file. If you downloaded the file prior to 1:25pm CT on 2008-02-16 then you might want to grab the latest version of the file...
