Comics Radar

Comics Radar began as the Geek4×4 Comics & Entertainment Podcast. Geek4×4 began in May of 2005 as basically a place for me to talk about whatever, frequently comics and my favorite bands. Eventually, I decided I wanted to refocus because at the time there were not as many podcasts about comics and there was still a large abscence of coverage on a large number of books, so Comics Radar was started to be the voice of the large number of comics that aren’t covered anywhere else. Luckily, now there is a larger number of podcasts that cover all areas of comics. But Comics Radar still has the goal of bringing you info on the latest and greatest comics you may be overlooking.

HOST: JM Campbell
What can be said about John (JM when he’s trying to be professional) Campbell? The guy is a freaking Rock Star. He’s an English Major at FAU. He substitute teaches in the Fall and Spring and also works as a radio producer and board operator.
That’s actually how he got into podcasting. He was introduced to podcasting via Warren Ellis‘ Bad Signal email list at the same time as he was starting an Intership at Real Radio 94.3 in West Palm Beach, FL, an open format talk radio station.
At the time, JM was a rather shy, reserved guy, so he thought starting a podcast would give him a chance to talk about something he was already passionate about, and give him experience talking into a microphone with the knowledge that people are actually going to hear him. And it did.
He still works in West Palm Beach, FL with Clearchannel, although not with Real Radio as much as he would like.
John’s family recently grew due to his wife, Raven, giving birth to a beautiful baby girl, Serenity Jeanne Campbell, who takes him away from the mic as much as she possibly can.
