Before podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube, there was LIVE radio! Moondog's Pop Culture Radio Hour was a 1-hour radio show that debuted in September 1993 on WCBR 92.7 FM in Chicago. Hosted by Kim "Howard" Johnson, Larry Marder and Gary "Moondog" Colabuono, the MPCRH was dedicated to all things comic books and pop culture. Every show featured all-star guests like Stan Lee, Todd McFarlane, Frank Miller, Neil Gaiman, Jimmy Palmiotti, Joe Quesada and many, many more! But alas, MPCRH was a show ahead of its time and only lasted one year. Nearly 30 years later I'm dusting off the original recordings to share with the world again. Give them a listen...and enjoy! --Gary "Moondog" Colabuono

Episode 8 of the Moondog’s Pop Culture Radio Hour from October 30, 1993 is on the air!
This was a special show in that host Howard Johnson was in Las Vegas getting married to his lovely bride, Laurie Bradach. So it was just Larry Marder and me talking about what was happening behind the scenes in the comics industry.
In other words the first comic-book podcast ever recorded.
Besides being the creator of Tales of the Beanworld, Larry Marder was the "Nexus of All Comic Book Realities" in the 1990s. Larry was as much at home with mainstream publishers as he was with the independent creator community. People trusted Larry and everyone sought his advice. This led to his being named executive director of Image Comics then president of Todd McFarlane Toys.
You also get a big dose of the Moondog himself as he explains a lot of what was going on in comics nearly 30 years ago.
