Would you like to be in AMC's (The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Mad Men) reality TV show based around Kevin Smith's comic book shop Jay & Silent Bob's Secret Stash?

No doubt much of the hilarity will come from the staff in the store which includes sometimes Batman artist, co-host of Tell 'Em Steve-Dave and lifelong friend of Smith, Walt Flanagan.

Now, here we are,back again right where we started, new book, new creative team but same old Matt Murdock.

It's part 2 of Dan's evening with Barry Nugent of the mighty Geek Syndicate. So in Barry's own fair words this is what they got up to:

In this second part Barry is still joined by Dan Marshall from the Sidekickcast Podcast. In this last part they answer some listener questons before descending into a drunken homage to Airwolf.

You have been warned.

Apologies for the lack of an intro!

Couldn't go to Bristol Comic Expo? Well I feel bad for you because that means you will have missed a whole load of goodness but most importantly you missed out on Sidekickcast host Dan Marshall rocking the podcasters panel. Our very own Dan, Jimmy from Comic News Insider, Stacey from Small Press Big Mouth, Dave from Waiting for the Trade and Steve from Comic Book Outsiders get wrangled into talking all things comic podcasts by the awesome Emma Vieceli. Jimmy was kind enough to record the whole thing so get on over to the Comic News Insider site and listen to the panel here.
