The unintended Sidekickcast world tour of podcasts continues as this week the Comic Book Outsiders were kind enough to open up their doors to little old me.

In this episode Scott is away so Steve is joined by Gavin Jones, one half of The Sidekick Cast, a fantastic UK comics podcast. Before they get into the news, there is a quick reminder about the book club and current selection which is Eastern Standard Tribe by Corey Doctorow. We'll be recording the next episode in two weeks and will be discussing the book, so there is still time to pick up a copy of the book for free from Corey's website in various document formats, or you can download it as an audio book, read by Corey Doctorow. Email your comments to Scott or Steve or post your feedback on the book on our forum. Also send us your suggestions for the next book club selection.
