Published on: 16th October, 2023

With New York City Comic Con wrapping up, a ton of new announcements and trailers have hit the internet and geeks like us couldn't be more excited. The biggest story to come our of the convention was not an announcement of something new or exciting but of human excrement finding it's way to the floor. Okay, it wasn't the most exciting thing, but it did make a few headlines. From Scott Pilgrim to Godzilla and into multiverses a plenty, there was so much to talk about and so little time. So we crammed what we could into this episode.

About your host

Chris Parsons

My name is Chris Parsons, and about 5 years ago, I started a podcast with an old computer and a microphone that I found on eBay. The title of that show was Entertain the Geeky. More than anything, ETG served as a means of filling a void, which my sales job had left in my life. I was no longer part of the nerdy industry that I loved; I had sold out. It couldn't end like that! So, I got in touch with a friend who worked at a comic book shop, with me, and asked if he would be interested in hanging out on Sundays and recording this goofy show with me. He was on board and we were off to the races. More than anything, we over-promised and under-delivered. We started designing tabletop games, we onboarded sponsors, and we started a second title. With plans for a third show and a bright future ahead of us, we pressed on! Life had a different plan... I left my sales job and moved. Recording slowed drastically and ETG started to die. I started an online business, and went to work part time for a gaming store, with another friend from the comic shop that I used to work at. He like me, loves to talk and we decided to,(you guessed it) start a podcast.
We started the show Who Wears the Pants, and have had a blast pushing through the almost therapeutic recording sessions. My co-host started a new business and it reminded me of the birth of my first show. I was able to look back and see some of what I had done wrong , with podcasting in particular. I had arrived at the conclusion that I had only began to scratch the surface of my potential within this domain. The growth and potential of ETG and the fulfillment of WWTP existed somewhere in a new show. Here we are now. With a new show that focuses on the extraordinary that exists within the seemingly normal. We are only slightly average.
