Sat, 17 November 2007  Dear listeners of the Phantom Power Comics Podcast: Hello Phantom Friends! We apologize for ppcp's long hiatus. The Phantom Power team has moved across the country (and then some) to pursue higher (and colder) education in America's last frontier! We've brought along all of the review copies we've received. Our suitcases are full of great comics and zines to talk about on the show. If you've recently mailed a review copy, it should still reach the team via Postal Service forwarding. If you need to contact us via snail mail, the new address is: Phantom Power Comics PodcastWe'll post a short audio update soon, with some proper episodes soon to follow! Already recorded interviews living in our old hard drive still need to make their way north before we'll be able to post them. If you have any suggestions or questions, please hit the forum or send us some email. Thanks to everyone for supporting the show!

Tue, 12 June 2007 Check out the original post for the full details. This looks like a great opportunity to get into comics podcasting, so if you like to talk about comics send them an audition! Four Color Heroines is currently looking for two other people to fill host positions. Four Color Heroines will be a four-person podcast (three regular hosts including myself and one guest) and primarily will focus is women in the sequential art medium, though other elements may at certain points be brought up.

Fri, 18 May 2007 Team Phantom Power will be attending WisCon 31: the world's leading feminist science fiction convention. The convention will take place May 25-28, 2007 in Madison, Wisconsin. And I'm going to be on some panels! Sarcasm and Superheroics: Feminism in the Mainstream Comics Industry. Saturday, 4:00-5:15 p.m. 2006 was declared the year of Women in Comics. Alison Bechdel's "Fun Home" was one of Time's 10 Best Books, best-selling authors Jodi Picoult and Tamora Pierce were signed up to write for DC and Marvel, and DC announced a new "Minx" line for girls. However, 2006 was also a year of increased feminist activism in mainstream comics. New websites "When Fangirls Attack" and "Girl-Wonder.org" collected and encouraged feminist debate on issues of diversity and sexism in comics, and there seemed to be plenty to talk about. Moreover, the Occasional Superheroine confessional memoir recounted a disturbing tale of abuse and misogyny within the superhero industry that was reflected on the pages of its comics. What has improved in the comics industry? What is yet to be done? What challenges are posed by the industry's peculiar institutional structure? How can women break into the comics mainstream? How can we critique it? And what comics can you buy for your kids? M: Karen Elizabeth Healey, Charlie Anders, Rachel Sharon Edidin, Catherine Lundoff, Jenni Moody The X-Women Sunday, 1:00-2:15 p.m. The X-Men comics are well-loved and have a disproportionately high number of female fans (and strong female characters). X-Men: The Final Stand was nonetheless widely interpreted as quite sexist (out of control sexual women must be destroyed for the good of the world, etc.). Did the problems originate in the adaptation to film, or the source material, i.e., the comics themselves? What attracts women to the X-Men story no matter what format it's told in? M: Rachel Sharon Edidin, Charlie Anders, Jennifer Dunne, Karen Elizabeth Healey, Jenni Moody Fun Home Sunday, 4:00-5:15 p.m.
If you're going to be at WisCon 31, please say hi! Category: convention -- posted at: 1:43 AM Comments[2] | ||||||||||||||||||||

Tue, 3 April 2007  Dear listeners of the Phantom Power Comics Podcast: As you know, Easter is this Sunday. And at Easter time many people suddenly love bunnies! While love of bunnies is wonderful, buying bunnies for children as part of their Easter baskets can end in sadness. Bunnies without super powers cannot feed themselves, find new homes, dodge automobiles or fend for themselves against predators. Many people who love bunnies may not have the time or money to care for them as pets. If you or a child you know would like to have a bunny in your home, try a stuffed bunny first and talk to someone who lives with a bunny companion to find out what it is like. If you don't know anyone who has adopted a bunny, here are some bunny resources: Fat Rabbit Farm The Bunny Bunch S.P.C.R.

The Phantom Power team had a great time attending Podcamp Atlanta 2007! We gave out tons of goodie bags filled with magnets, buttons, and candy, and attended many sessions about podcasting. The best part, though, was meeting the awesome people who listen to the show! It was great to meet and hang out with Dr. Ginger Campbell of the Brain Science podcast, Ron Nastie of the Final Taxi podcast, and Sam Chupp of the Bear's Grove & Dragonkin podcasts. Listen to podcasts of the sessions. View the Podcamp Atlanta 2007 Flickr photo pool.  Dr. Ginger Campbell of the Brain Science podcast and Phantom Bunny.

Mon, 4 December 2006  This March 16-18, I will be at the Atlanta PodCamp. The PodCamp is an unconference, which is very similar to a conference but without set guidelines of who can conduct a seminar. Anyone who has something to say can hold a seminar; you don't have to have 100 episodes posted or have won an award. I think it will be a great opportunity to learn and to meet other podcasters. If you don't live in the Southeast, you can find a PodCamp in your region. Episode 5 coming soon! Category: podcasts -- posted at: 2:02 PM Comments[5] | ||||||||||||||||||||
