Danielle talks about moving up the ranks at 95.9 The River out in the Chicago suburbs and some strange run-in's with listeners. Roses given, feet pics requested were all part of the gig that she didn't know she was signing up for!

JP and Danielle talk about the amazing comic, Saga by Brian K. Vaughan (writer), Fiona Staples (artist). Saga is set in a vast universe where two warring races—the technologically advanced Landfallians (with wings) and the magic-wielding Wreath (with horns) have turned their home worlds conflict into a galaxy-spanning war. Though Landfall and Wreath can't risk destroying each other directly, their war wages on countless other planets and moons, dragging in outsiders and mercenaries. You get to read the story as it unfolds while the main character Hazel (daughter of Alana and Marko) narrates as the crew is always on the run.

Comics.FM delves both into the comic but also the radio career of the guest. Danielle talks about getting into radio and how it can wear you down over the years, especially when you are a good solider and say yes to everything without complaints. In her longtime role at 95.9 The Riever, eventually, even the best team player can feel it's the right time to move onto a new adventure.

Danielle and JP talk about the "On" and "Off" switches that radio people have when meeting listeners or being out in public and how it could be vastly different experiences than what you hear over the airwaves. Tufano also gets into why there is an extra layer of uncomfortable than happens being a female personality on the radio and using her real name.

As a superhero, she would be Flygirl, but not the dancing kind, put possibly in a tracksuit regardless.

Danielle talks about interviewing Jeremy Renner, Gary Sinese, and Mark McGrath and why it's important to stick to the script. When the band Lit asks you to get alcohol - keep the change Plus she gets an offer she can't refuse, but did refuse from Gene Simmons!

It's like Hot Ones but instead of wings, it's comics, and instead of licking saucy fingers, Danielle gets into licking toes and elbows!

Joe Cicero, you know him from Star 105.5 in in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. And also his long history with Chicago pizza and Chicago radio joins JP Black to talk about the first issue of the IDW "Godzilla in America" series, the aptly titled Godzilla vs Chicago. This is Joe's first ever comic book!

Godzilla vs Chicago consists of 4 mini-stories. The first, from Mike Costa and Ryan Brown, is a must read for Chicago sports fans and Svengoolie fans. The second story with tales from the El train from Tim Seeley and Heather Breckel. The 3rd story from Ezra Daniels is a classic Chicago politics story with a twist. And the book wraps up with a Caroline Cash story that gives a giant sized middle finger to Indiana... which is every Chicagoan's dream of course. Plus Godzilla everywhere in Chicagoland!

So many great Chicago references in the comic, but there is one mistake that both Joe and J.P. each realized in this issue! Stay for the radio talk as they each share their stories about how not to fry an engineer inside a radio tower!

EXCLUSIVE JOE CICERO RADIO STORIES NOT HEARD ANYWHERE ELSE! Before becoming the main dude on suburban Chicago airwaves for 15 years, Joe had a journey in downtown Chicago radio. Find out about Joe's first gig on the air and what legendary radio personality he had to follow. Radio has so many twists and turns and you gotta make the most of every chance you get. With demo CD in hand, Joe made sure it got in the hands of someone who could give him another shot! Find out how Joe Cicero pissed off the iconic Kevin Matthews as the hotshot new overnight kid.

When Joe gets to Star 105.5 in Crystal Lake, the drama starts on Day 1 with his new boss not even knowing he was hired - yikes! He's a big deal as the morning host and even get a cell phone with a whole lotta MINUTES ready to use!

If Joe Cicero were a Superhero, who would he be? While he has dressed as Batman for Halloween and even got to drive the original Batmobile, his power of care and compassion would turn him into the Amazing Frenzo! (no relation to Wizzo from the Bozo Show.... we think)

Last but not least, Joe Cicero dishes the dirt on the several celebrities he interviewed that may or not be cool (or a jerk!) - Avril, Alanis, Foxworthy, Simon Cowell and more!

Another Comics.FM episode where JP talks radio and comics with one of his colleagues in the business.

Today Scorgie and JP Black talk about Ice Cream Man from Image Comics. Written by W. Maxwell Prince and Art by Chris O’Halloran and Martín Morazzo. While they reference the first issue, each comic is a one-off tale of weird plots and characters with a side of two scoops of ice cream. The Ice Cream Man is ready to serve with a snap of his fingers, lickety split!

Scorgie and JP talk about the influences that got them both into radio. Scorgie mentions the VH1 Show Free Radio with Lance Krall and Jimmy Fallon's "And We're Back" radio skits on SNL. JP talks about Steve Dahl and Johnny B, then Howard Stern, and movies like Airheads that made radio seem like the coolest job ever. They get into the "theater of the mind" element that radio always had and always will be.

JP discusses how radio gives that same illusion like pro wrestling or politics of what is real and what is not. Lesson to the kids - say yes! It just may pay off as JP talks about when he was asked to be an emcee for the Emma Crawford Coffin Races in Manitou Springs. Maybe you'll even get to meet a famous heavy metal drummer! Check our Scorgie on 98.1 KKFM Weekends and all around Southern Colorado at live events!
