Summary: Kurt has been podcasting since 2008 and his topic of interest and expertise is Web Comics He has interviewed people like David Reddick who created the Legend of Bill and Star Trek comics Phil Foglio and many other comic artists. This version of the podcast is the short version concentrating on the video end of things. There is another podcast that is quite a bit longer in which Kurt talks more about the worlrd of comics. The reason that Kurt is being featured on the Video20Q podcast is because he told me some of hos plans to extend his podcast with video and is going to do the lone gun video interviews at a comic convention taking place in Chicago. Well not quite lone gun as he will have a friend helping him out with the video. He has an inexpensive JVC camera and will be interviewing artists at the show. Kurt likes the manga and anime influence on comics is a manga fan, comics such as Dragon Ball but grew up with the Marvel style also We also talk a bit about comic influenced movies such as, Sin City - Frank Miller Watchmen - which I have not seen yet but Kurt reckons is too long, dry and painful to watch. Kick ass Movie - story based on comics Moving from tape to a hard drive camera bought a JVC for 600 dollar with a 80 gb HD He is working with a friend called mike to record the interviews at the comic conventions Carrie Fisher of Star Wars fame will be at the event also. Kurt is an Audacity user for the editing of audio, he tells me that he loves the Mac and may think of getting one for when he needs to do the video editing. Kurt has been known to make really long podcasts - up to 3 or 4 hours, he was using Talkshoe for the podcsasting but the quality was bad - still uses it for the hosting of the audio podcasts. He was or is a World of Warcraft player and that got him into podcasting since 2008 has done 97 episodes, starting with WebComicPlanet.com Here are a few links for those amongst you interested in the world of comics.

About 1977 in Chicago loosely based on his life. Danielle Corsetto, wonderful person and very active in the community Penny Arcade These two are pretty much the godfathers of Webcomics.
