I’m back! Three bouts of laryngitis and one new job later and I am finally back with a new podcast! This week’s guest is Greg Anderson of FuseFX. Greg is the visual effects supervisor for several Marvel properties including Luke Cage (remember that punch scene in s1?), The Punisher (remember that kill Frank made from a mile away in the first episode?) Spiderman and The Black List. Currently, Greg is the highest-ranking African-American visual effects supervisor in North America. (You read that right.)

So if you’ve always wanted to know how they created all those cool superhero effects, this is the podcast for you. And keep an eye out, there will be a youtube version of this interview dropping soon so you can really see what Greg’s team does every day! Don’t forget to comment and subscribe!

I am really excited I was able to get Tatiana King Jones of the FanBros Show to come on the podcast. Not only do I consider her a friend, but so many times I hear her drop gems that I feel just about every black woman in tech or geekdom needs to hear and I just want to capture them. Well this time I got the chance. We talk about everything from anime and tech to gaming and some of her favorite guests, including Orlando Jones. (You’ll just have to listen to hear why). Normally, I drop a video at the same time as the podcast, but folks are going to have to wait just a little bit longer for the video because of a few technical issues. Don’t forget to comment and subscribe! The podcast is currently available on iTunes, Stitcher, Soundcloud and soon Google Play).

Many of you already know Eric Dean Seaton as the creator of the successful indie comic book series, Legend of the Mantamaji. What you may not realize, is that he is also an accomplished Hollywood TV director. Eric has directed a bunch of shows like Living Single, That’s so Raven, The Thundermans, Mech X-4 and just started shooting the Raven reboot series Raven’s Home. In this interview I talk to him about his Hollywood career, what it’s like to create and publish a successful indie comic book (he sells over 100 copies a month through Amazon alone), and which is tougher. We also talk about some of the unknown positions behind-the-scenes that people can get involved in the television production process. Check it out! And don’t forget to comment and subscribe!

Ever wonder if the science and tech that you see in comic book movies could actually happen in real life? Could someone really create a new element in their living room like Tony Stark did in Iron Man 2? What real-life poisonous plant, might have actually killed King Joffrey in Game of Thrones? What polymer might Hulk’s pants be made out of? Could Spider Man’s webs be replicated in a real lab?  Must me walk around with two decaying corpses to ward off a horde of zombies? Well, these are some of the questions I got to ask analytical chemist Dr. Raychelle Burks in my interview with her. This interview was so much fun! There was lot’s of giggling mixed in with a load of science. Dr. Burk is not to be missed! You can also check her out on the Science Channel’s awesome show Outrageous Acts of Science.
