It’s our first podcast of the new year! Huzzah! (“Huzzah” is something I’m going to be saying in 2012, just so you know.) What better time to look back at 2011, share a few memories, laugh, cry and roll our eyes at the year that was, then look ahead at all the geeky goodness coming our way in 2012. True, we could have done this at the end of December,…

In the third and final truly outrageous installment of our special Fanboys of the Universe series on Jem, we are delighted—no, ecstatic—to present our podcast interview with none other than Jem herself: actress, singer and pop culture icon Samatha Newark! We had a LOT to cover with Samantha, and Johnny M and I were as giddy as two gay geeks could be, chatting with…
Over the past year, I’ve been on what I call my “Rainbow Tour,” promoting the site, networking with professionals and trying to make Fanboys of the Universe a household name in gay geekdom. Since embarking on my tour, I’ve given up my usual con activities and have primarily positioned myself at a table or booth for the duration of whatever show I happened to be…
You know, I don’t type these letters very often, but I will make an exception just this once: OMG! That pretty much sums it up. BENT-CON was ridiculously fun! I had a blast, and not just because I was surrounded by FBOTMs all day. (Well, that did have a lot to do with the lack of blood reaching my brain for several hours.) But another reason this inaugural event celebrating…
Have I got a treat for you today! Not only do we have a brand new podcast episode, but it features my chat with Sean-Z, the creator of MYTH and our December Fanboy of the Month! You’ll get to see the first of Sean’s photos, read his bio and check out his behind-the-scenes video tomorrow. Today, you get to listen in and learn a little bit about the man himself.…
Hey! A new podcast! I’ve been having technical difficulties for, like, ever. I finally got the whole steampunk podcast equipment working again, though my new headset echoes in my ear for some reason. The main drawback to this is that I start listening to myself talk, which makes me talk really slow. So the usually 20-minute podcast is about 10 minutes longer because…
It’s time for the second installment in our FBOTU Spotlight series on Ed Luce, the creator of Wuvable Oaf.
This weekend (April 30-May 2), the center of the gay geek universe can be found in Atlanta, Georgia at OutlantaCon! Imagine, if you will, hundreds of LGBTQ fans of sci-fi, fantasy, horror and gaming meeting up in one of the greatest cities on Earth! As if that weren’t enough, Fanboys of the Universe will be there, too! In our latest podcast episode, I chat with Edward…
Greetings from the San Francisco airport! Sadly, it’s time to go and leave the wonders of WonderCon behind. I’m already making a few notes for next year, and March FBOTM Rafael has already offered to be an FBOTM Booth Babe! You won’t want to miss that! Before I fly away, I just want to thank everyone again for supporting Fanboys of the Universe and the…
Charlie Brown appreciation week continues on Fanboys of the Universe with a brand new podcast! In this episode, Johnny, Tommy and I take a fond look back on the perennial holiday classic about finding the true meaning of Christmas. So, how do warm memories of Charles Schulz‘s beloved characters devolve into a discussion of The Orphan, zombies and Dr. Manhattan‘s…
In our final Comics of the Universe feature exploring the diverse and complex world of Justin Hall, we get a glimpse at what Justin’s working on now.
This week you’re getting a double whammy of Justin Hall. First, in our podcast interview, Justin talks about the highs and lows of self-publishing, writing a good travel tale and how sex and sexuality influence his work.
Oh happy day! I’m pleased to announce the return of the FBOTU Podcast! It took a while to recover from the Wild Cherry Pepsi Laptop Disaster of 2009, but we’re back! The technical issues have been resolved, the software has been recovered, and the show will be posted again on a more regular basis. This episode also features the return of author (and friend…
What do you know? It’s a new podcast! In this episode, site member Tommy and I discuss our immediate reaction to Torchwood: Children of Earth, the 5-part miniseries that aired in the UK last week. It’s scheduled to air in the US starting July 20. If you haven’t seen it yet, beware! There are spoilers aplenty in this podcast! Highlights include: Way, Way…
I was at the amusement park the other day and somehow got zapped into a hellish realm of demons and monsters and tiny senile tour guides and thought, “We should do a podcast retrospective of 80s Saturday morning cartoon favorite Dungeons & Dragons!” And wouldn’t it be fun to get trapped in said hellish realm with site members Allen, Johnny M, Rhea…
