Happy Podcasting Day palookas, palookettes, and non-binary palookos alike! Itās Golden Age Comic Week! A whole week full of hardboiled detectives and hard-sockinā soldiers, selfish dames, heroic white men, and evil every other race.
For this weekās 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 itās like be named Thor when everybody else is named stupid shit like Jeff.
Weāre not just talkinā any Golden Age Comics, weāre talking comics that only existed in the Golden Age — weāre 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 ātrue,ā 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. Itās 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 weāre the catās pajamas!

Also donāt be racist, donāt be sexist, and probably donāt buy a knit mask and a gun and prowl the streets as The Kestrel or some shit. But that oneās less my business.
