Valiant Effort Podcast
My friend and I have started a new Valiant Comics podcast called Valiant Effort and the first episode is available to be listened to at our website: http://vepodcast.wordpress.com/. We'll have it available on itunes and other platforms soon, we just wanted to get it out there. We have three episodes complete with tons more to come.
I know, I know, there are already a bunch of podcasts out there, but I hope you have room for one more.
Our mission statement:
1.) We review the Trades!
2.) We’re starting from the beginning, so over the course of the next few months (years?) we’ll have reviewed all the comics published by Valiant.
3.) We give you the perspective of a die hard Valiant fan (me!) and a guy who has never really read comics (not me).
4.) To have fun!
Also, you can follow us on twitter: @vepodcast
And you can email us: vepodcast@gmail.com
Thanks for listening!

Listening to it now. Just wanted to say that it's always nice to hear a fellow passionate Kenshin fan.
Good stuff guys, keep it coming!

Re: Valiant Effort Podcast
listened to the first episode. Good podcast! great audio quality. Nick not knowing anything about comics is a great premise for a valiant podcast. Makes me want to listen to more.

Re: Valiant Effort Podcast
itunes doesn't like me right now, but I'll get it figured out. In the meantime you can click the file menu on your itunes player, select Subscribe to podcast, and put in our RSS link: http://vepodcast.podbean.com/feed/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - That works for now.Dallow Spicer1 wrote:+1 Yeah I'll check it out when it goes onto iTunes!

Re: Valiant Effort Podcast
I think that's really cool you're doing that, and the other podcasters too. I haven't listened to any of them, but I probably should, as much as I love Valiant. I just think it's great folks like you are promoting Valiant! That rocks! 

For my Valiant: Kindle Worlds stories, check out my amazon author central page, http://www.amazon.com/Richmond-West/e/B ... 204&sr=8-1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Sort by price low to high, and the Valiant Kindle Worlds stories will pop to the top.

Re: Valiant Effort Podcast
Josh,
Loved your first installment! Thoroughly enjoyed the high energy you showed about the subject. Your love of Valiant certainly shows through
Look forward to hearing more trade reviews. As you know, Elery and I have been pushing Amazon trade reviews for a while now (and by the way YOU haven't done all twenty four yet
just as a reminder).
All in all, totally "Gold Book Worthy" so will be sending you one out tomorrow. Keep up the great work!

I guess I'm better at talking about books than writing about them.
