Episode 2 of ComicPop Visits with Six60’s Chris Mac

 

Welcome to Episode 2 of ComicPop Visits.  In this episode we visit with Chris Mac the Bass/Synth player of the New Zealand based band Six60.  The visit was done through Skype and with us being in Kansas and Chris in New Zealand we had a few fades, but I believe everyone will be able to understand what was said.  Six60 will be touring the North American region starting October 2.  To get a schedule of their tour dates you can see them below or go to their site www.six60.co.nz, to purchase tickets.  If you can’t get to one of their shows be sure to visit their “Shop” link or iTunes to purchase their self titled debut album.  It was great visiting with Chris so set back and enjoy our visit.

Podcast Editing Slowed Due to Vacation

The 20th episode is edited, but is in the sound editing stage.  I was hoping to get this uploaded due to my vacation, but I wasn’t able to get it done.  I will still be able to post to the blog and Episode 20 will be out during the week of July 23.  I apologize for the delay and thank you for your understanding.  Don’t forget that you can always e-mail us at admin@comicpoplibrary.com make a comment on our Facebook page and it will be read on a future podcast.  Interaction is always part of the fun.  Everyone enjoy their week – Richard
