Gordcast
Now in it's XXth? year, Gordie Adams' Gordcast covers music, comic books, movies, television, memories, nostalgia, current events and whatever else comes up in conversations with friends and sometimes in an informal interview with someone Gordie wants to know more about. Fellow aficionado Paul Bertolino joined as co-host of the Gordcast for the majority of episodes and along the way, Gordie welcomed a roster of special guests. After a hiatus he is back and invites you to hang out with the Gordcast for entertaining conversation and good company. Join us and have fun! Bonus episodes of The Gordcast Shuffle (wherein Gordie and Paul each gave three random spins to their vast music collections and talk in wonderful detail about the songs that show-up) are included in the same feed.
Gordcast Episode 23 - Bursting The Santa Bubble! Gordie and Paul rap about Christmas memories and traditions over the years. Gordie receives a Papercut in the mail and enjoys The Boys, while sick in bed.  Paul finds twenty bucks and has his KISS sleeping-bag defiled at a sleep over. The two of them discuss the Tauntaun sleeping bag, a Millenium Falcon bed and being sick around Christmas. Gordie's mom plays The Lord's Prayer backwards and we end up off topic with Metal.

Gordcast Episode 7 - Tom Beland, Swear To God! This one is for the comic book fans. (...but not exclusively) 
Tom Beland finally joins me to talk about comics, comics, comics.
Gordie admits that he isn't exactly sure where Puerto Rico is on a map. Tom tells of sharing Gwen Stacy's death at the dinner table, how Alan Moore intimidates him and that he couldn't write a Kang story if you paid him. This is a longer than usual episode and we get very silly and rambly, so have fun!

(At 1:21 I missed an edit and am too lazy to go back and fix it right now, so skip to 1:23 or enjoy the song.)
