Podcast Theme Week

Comic Related will be tracking every podcast within this muti-show event!

Podcast theme week is a week in which a group of interrelated podcasts focus on a single topic approaching it from each shows own unique perspective.

This premiere Podcast Theme Week takes a look at the ins/outs and trials/tribulations for all things related to Diamond Distribution and the American Comics distribution landscape. This audio event will look at several aspects of the industry with the goal of understanding how it IS working and what is NOT working.

The point of the shows will be to focus a strong, all encompassing audio/media injection into the industry and serve up an understanding of the many perspectives of comic distribution.
