BOBBY JOINS THIS WEEK'S EARTH STATION ONE PODCAST TO TALK ALL THINGS ROY THOMAS!

I joined my pals on the Earth Station One podcast this week for a look at the work and career of legendary comic book writer Roy Thomas. You can listen to the full episode HERE.

With Mike Faber, Michael Gordon, and Mark Holmes. Oh, and we may have given a big about out to that award-winning Mark Maddox guy too. Maybe. :)

Thanks again, guys. It's always a treat to visit the station.

G.I. JOE IS THERE!

Bobby shares his Joy of Joe!

The Joy of Joe has arrived. Good looking book. Great stories and essays from Paul Kupperberg, Jerry Ordway, Alan J. Porter, Dave West, Fabian Nicieza, James Palmer, Mark Maddox, and more. Oh, and me. Big Thanks to Jim Beard for inviting me to be part of it.

If you would like a copy of your very own (and why wouldn't you?), check out The Joy of Joe: Memories of America's Movable Fighting Man from Today's Grown-Up Kids at Amazon. Available in paperback and Kindle ebook.

Now you know.

Bobby

THE JOY OF JOE RELEASED. NOW YOU KNOW.

YO, JOE! The Joy of Joe: Memories of America's Movable Fighting Man from Today's Grown-Up Kids is now the #1 book in its genre on Amazon. The Joy of Joe is available in paperback and Kindle.

I may have talked a lot about
these guys as part of my essay.

PURE JOY FOR A TOY For well over fifty years the joy that kids feel for G.I. Joe, Hasbro’s toy phenomenon, stands as nothing short of amazing. Few other creations can boast of such an enduring love from fans of all ages across the globe. Fall in with thirty such fans as they tell tales of childhoods marching alongside Joe through action and adventure, creating memories that have lasted lifetimes. THE JOY OF JOE will amuse you and touch your heart!

Now you know.

And knowing is half the battle.

Bobby

And while I'm thinking of G.I. Joe, enjoy this clip. It is still my favorite piece of animation.

And here are the various G.I. Joe animated intros.

A little about Earth Station One. ESO is a podcast and also a network of podcasts (20 or so shows on the ESO Network at present, I believe). For 3 years or so, I was one of the co-hosts of the Earth Station One podcast (the mothership, as some of the hosts of the other shows on the network call it). It was a fun show and I had a great time co-hosting with ESO Director Mike Faber and “Howdy” Mike Gordon each week. Unfortunately, real life got in the way, as it does and I had to give up something and my options were podcasting or writing so I stepped away as an official co-host in September of 2015 to concentrate on my writing career. I have popped on the show a few times as a guest since then and I talk to Mike and Mike on a fairly regular basis.

The Earth Station One: Tales of The Station anthology was conceived as a fundraising effort to help bring in a few dollars to help upgrade the network servers, buy new microphones, etc. All stories are written by ESO Broadcast Network hosts or personalities, including some award-winners. I was still a co-host when I wrote my story. Here’s the official synopsis:

EARTH STATION ONE: TALES OF THE STATION
A Sci-Fi Anthology

New Legend Productions is proud to publish Earth Station One: Tales of the Station, an anthology featuring stories about the crew of the ESO Network podcast by Dr. Scott Viguie, Bobby Nash, Van Allen Plexico, Joe Crowe, and Michael Gordon. Introduction by Director Mike Faber. Cover art by Mark Maddox.

If you would like to read more, EARTH STATION ONE: TALES OF THE STATION is available from Amazon in paperback here-- https://www.amazon.com/Earth-Station-One-Tales/dp/1517017807.

You can also find the book in the ESO amazon Store here-- esopodcast.com
At this time, there is not an ebook version available.
