    Free Magazines on Your Phone (from Libby)

    I used to love reading magazines. When I was a teenager, The Source Magazine was pretty much required reading. It was a great way to find out about rap music releases and artists. I even used the pictures to wallpaper my basement studio. It was great. Over the years I have enjoyed a number of…

  • Star Wars: Aftermath

    Star Wars: Aftermath by Chuck Wendig One thing I never understood about the Star Wars universe is how the good guys never seem to win.

  • Classic Hip-Hop Radio from 1996 – Mastermind Street Jam

    Part 2, the Tuesday night edition of Mastermind Street Jam was originally broadcast on April 9, 1996 on Energy 108 (107.9 fm) in Canada. I cut most of the talking out of this one.

  • Stargirl’s Comics Origin (Stars And S.T.R.I.P.E.)

    Stargirl is my all-time favourite superhero television show. Season One last year was absolutely incredible and if you haven’t seen it yet.
