Comic Geek Speak is one of the big names in american comic podcasts. I have been a fan and supporter of the show since my first iPod and discovering podcasts.
They normally devote a whole episode to reviewing a new comic book movie.
Recently I have been a bit bemused by the attitude of the hosts, the people on the boards, and the moderator to suggestions that they should do an episode review of Dredd.
Some forum members suggested that we were always trying to shove 2000AD "down their throats" (their phrase not mine).
I started a thread asking our American friends to get some word of mouth going for Dredd 3D. The commonest response was that they would wait for the DVD. Fair enough, America doesn't really get 2000AD and Dredd as the box office figures show.
One of the show hosts was Mike Gallagher, a guy who was interested in films, indy comics and a 2000AD fan. He guested on the most recent ECBT2000AD podcast.
Now I hear that he has been kicked off the show for undisclosed reasons. Does anyone know what went on there? Message me if it's best not aired in public.
Happy for this thread to be binned if Rich thinks I'm a bit far off topic.

Ahhhh.... Comic Geek Speak. There's a blast from the past.
Know Flint still listens and I first "met" him via their forums which I also used to post on as Bluemeanie. Got the feeling Mike Gallagher may be on for doing more ECBT's but sure him or Flint will tell you more.
Never quite knew how to take the CGS lot to be honest. Some seemed, to me at least, to take themselves a little too seriously

Some seemed, to me at least, to take themselves a little too seriously I'll put it less diplomatically I gave up on it (and the forums) cos lets face it they were up their own arses (IMO). Being a geek to me is all about liking what you like and not giving a feck. Taking being a geek too seriously in whats geek 'cool' or whatever just makes you a pretentious arsehole. /rantoff

Blimey... bit harsh. But then it's been about 3 years since I was last on the forum and havent listened since toys were thrown out of prams over Civil War.
Regardless I know LOTS of people listen to them and I also know lots of people who have made friends etc as a direct result of at least starting off on their forums, so credit where it's due and all that...

There are enough hints on the CGS forums for me to work it out now. So this thread could probably go. If Mike is to be a regular guest on the podcast you might suggest to him that he gets the name of the 'cast right.
