Hypothetical Island Podcast
Comics artists Reilly Brown (Deadpool, Outrage) and George O'Connor (Olympians) spin silly and sinister suppositional scenarios while stranded at sea. Hypothetically speaking, it's a great time. Also, as comics creators, they talk geek stuff with their geeky guests, who are also pretty much all comics creators too. Comics!
