Stop and Smell the Analog
Paul and Michael may not always be able to save the world, but occasionally make it a little bit better by stopping to smell the analog and sharing what brings joy to their lives! Sometimes they get a little bit deep and dive into real life problems, but they always strive to push towards the positive. Most of the time. Join them as they discuss comics, movies, music, sports, life, novels, Audible, and anything else that is in their arsenal to occasionally save the world. Smell the Analog is hosted by Paul Tesseneer and Michael Sparkman and produced by Michael Sparkman.
