Pulp Culture Podcast

This week, we’re doing things a little differently. For Free Comic Book Day, we’re hitting the pavement to chat with comic fans about their favourite creators, the books they love, and what brought them out today. We also head upstairs at All Star Comics Melbourne to soak up the atmosphere and talk all things comics.

MJ & Nath are back and celebrating their 21st (episode) the only way they know how, with a whole lot of pop culture chat and absolutely zero maturity.
