Golden Age Comics: The Crime Comics Podcast! 🌭

Happy Podcasting Day palookas, palookettes, and non-binary palookos alike! It’s Golden Age Comic Week! A whole week full of hardboiled detectives and hard-sockin’ soldiers, selfish dames, heroic white men, and evil every other race. 

For this week’s podcast we welcomed K Thor Jensen, because his name is Thor — and we found out he knows a lot about comics, too! Follow his excellent Twitter for insight into comic books, writing, the world, and what it’s like be named Thor when everybody else is named stupid shit like Jeff. 

We’re not just talkin’ any Golden Age Comics, we’re talking comics that only existed in the Golden Age — we’re talking Crime Comics! Back when they wrote whole comic books about the general concept of crime. Not crime-fighters, just crime! Crime was the main character. Sometimes the stories were true, sometimes they were “true,” and mostly they were just total horse-hockey, because it was a simpler time when it was too hard to check on a lie so nobody ever did it. 

Seanbaby takes us through each of the evolving eras of crime comics, all the way up to their brutal murder. It’s gonna take all our detective prowess to crack that case — luckily Seanbaby bought a hat, Brockway already had whiskey, and K Thor Jensen is a Thor! 

What a superteam!

Remember to tune in to the Dogg Zzone 9000 same time next week, and tell your chums at the soda jerk we’re the cat’s pajamas! 

Subscribe to us and review the podcast. That’s what I’m saying. I’m cutely saying that but I still need you to actually do it. 

Also don’t be racist, don’t be sexist, and probably don’t buy a knit mask and a gun and prowl the streets as The Kestrel or some shit. But that one’s less my business.
