Fan Expo 2018 Highlights
Fan Expo is an annual event held at the end of every summer in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is so much more than a comic book convention.

Cayoz hails from Oceanside, California and is not be confused with the Canadian emcee K-os, although both rappers pronounce their name “Chaos.” If you are a regular listener of this show, you will have heard this man before.

Sankdafied and Traffimatics (Live on Word is Bond)
I’ve gotten a little bit behind on the podcasting of the radio show, and for that I apologize. I liked the idea of podcasting the show as quickly as possible after the live show. I had been trying to get the new shows posted by Wednesday of each week but that hasn’t been working so…

Kevin Couldn’t Save Television
Kevin Probably Saves the World is the kind of television show that we really need more of. It’s a unique hour-long drama that is fully of charm and humour. It has elements of fantasy and spirituality in every episode that could be a little off-putting to some people. Maybe that is the reason we won’t…
