Ben Acker

First podcast with Jonah on the road! We were full of piss and vinegar and then Neil took an nap and slept through the beginning of the show. But no matter as we had a great guest in the form of writer/producer Ben Acker. Ben wrote and produced the long running Thrilling Adventure Hour, several comics from your favorite major and minor presses and his newly launched webcomic Kid Midnight.

Ben brings some examples of his songwriting with his buddy Kate Micucci, some covers done by close friends of his and some originals from people we know well enough not to have them sue us.

We talk Ben and his time at a naming company, Skiffle music, Neils trip to interview David Byrne and more. All on this weeks Jonah-less Raydio.
