CHANGES TO THE 2020 SCRIBE AWARDS...

The International Association of Media Tie-In Writers president, Jonathan Maberry announced that The Scribe Awards will not be presented at San Diego Comic Con as in previous years due to Covid-19 Coronavirus concerns. The Scribe Awards will be announced via Facebook Live instead. The date will be revealed soon. I have two books that were eligible so I am understandably curious to see if they made the nomination list. I will share more information on The Scribe Awards as I get them. Read Jonathan's statement below.

And now a word about Coronavirus and the Scribes…

For years now we’ve been presenting the IAMTW’s annual Scribe Awards at the wonderful San Diego Comic Con. Because of the growing danger of contagion from Covid-19, we will not have a presence at SDCC. Our Scribe Award nominees and winners will be announced via a real-time video event on our Facebook Group.

We will announce the nominees as well as the winner of the Faust Award in a few weeks.

The date of the awards will be announced at the same time.

Stay tuned for updates as they become available.

EARTH STATION ONE EPISODE 225 – AN OLD FASHION COMIC BOOK TALK

NOTE: I’m still taking some time off from the podcast, but I stop by the station to handle the interview and join the Starship Farragut “Conspiracy of Innocence” world-wide premiere announcement.

San Diego Comic Con was last week and none of the ESO crew were in attendance. Instead, Mike Faber and Mike Gordon decided to stay at home and talk comics with our good friends Doctor Q and Greg Plunket. Writer/editor Kyle Strickland is our Geek Seat victim of the week and Friend of the Station Michael Day joins us to announce the online release of the new Starship Farragut episode (written by a certain award-winning author). Plus, Rants, Raves, Khan Report, and Shout Outs!

Join us for yet another episode of The Earth Station One Podcast we like to call: An Old Fashion Comic Book Talk at www.esopodcast.com
