Love the show. Sometimes I listen in one burst and sometimes over a week while driving to and from work. In both cases, I have noticed something that I (maybe it is just me?) would find helpful..... repeating the name of the comic you are talking about in the conversation or after a few minutes of conversation before moving on to the next book. I like to write down then comic names and issue numbers of comics discussed on the show to check out later. When ya'll are discussing your books of the week and I am unfamiliar with the comic being covered rarely is the title or issue number brought up after it was first introduced. Then others jump in and the book sounds great but since I was not necessarily paying 100% attention when the topic started I have to jump back in the podcast, never when driving , to try and get the comic name. Once I get it then I try to jump back to the end of the conversation. Maybe it is just my bad memory, short attention span or trying to multitask while driving. Anyway, if you can slip the name of the comic in again in the conversation or after a longer conversation before moving to the next book I, and I am sure my fellow drivers, would appreciate it. thanks!

I agree. This would be helpful. It is important to the listeners for the hosts to repeat the names of the comics and/or creators throughout a single discussion. Especially for listeners to new comics, or returning to comics, who might not know who's who and what's what in the industry and market. Thank you for mentioning this, Shik.

I was thinking the same thing. I find myself rewinding the podcast a lot to catch the titles

I also agree. This week I was listening and they were talking about a superhero, well I pulled my headphones off to say Hi to a friend, and when I put them back in I had missed what they were talking about and couldn't figure it out at all.
A friendly "so if you guys wanna check it out, this is *blank* #30"
Or if you just say the name of the hero or character more often.

I'm with you. I'll hear the title of a book that I'm not into so I don't listen to the name and then the description sounds so cool that I want to pick it up then I have a hard time finding where the title was originally mentioned.
Is there a place (show notes) where the books of the week could be listed after the show?

Agreed, they should really just post a weekly discussion thread with the show notes in it. It wouldn't benefit those that aren't on the forum, but oh well.

Hey everyone,
The books that are discussed on the podcast can be found in the show notes - you can locate these by going to the podcast pages on the official site.
Hope that helps.

Additionally, this certainly something that we can work on.
