I was listening to directly downloaded episodes from the site, and I noticed that the last 3-4 seconds are cut off the ends of the episodes.  That wouldn't be such a big deal if not for the fact that I put "hidden" bits at the end of many episodes.  Does anyone else notice this?  Does this happen from iTunes also?  Other podcatchers?  Let me know.

More June reads:
30. Countdown #46
31. Alias #1

Next episode will actually be episode #0!  Before I do the 60th episode feature on Transformers, I will be making a 0 episode.  Consider it a B-sides and rarities episode.  Nothing special, but anytime I have a non-traditional show or a show that compiles random and extraneous stuff, I will be going backward into negative numbers.  That side of the number line is sadly unappreciated...

Stay tuned for 2 new shows this week... Work and various responsibilities have kept me from the mic for longer than I like... 
I am updating my personal monthly reading commitment to 40 comics a month because 30 is just too easy.  So, for this month of June, I shall begin this updated goal.  Here's how it goes so far...
23. Countdown #49
24. Countdown #48
25. Countdown #47
26. Justice Society of America(current) #6
27. Captain America(current) #26 (I had planned to quit this one after #25, but morbid curiosity drove me to get it...)
28. Death, Jr. Halloween Special
29. Amazing Spider-man #268

a 52 connection?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I began reading the Crisis on Multiple Earths: The Team-ups trade, and in the very first DC multiverse crossover story, when the two Flashes meet, we see that Barry Allen visits Jay Garrick at his home address: 5252 78th Street!  We can even see the 5252 on the door.  I find it funny and too crazy of a coincidence that not only was Jay's address "52" but "5252" !!!! Make of it what you will.  Am I the only one to discover this?  Anyone else see this before now?
