Gifts of SiDEBARs Past | SIDEBAR FOREVER

This week on the pod, we’re taking a stroll down memory lane to revisit the early days of the show. We reflect on some of the greatest gifts we've received as hosts—ranging from original artwork and swag, to unforgettable moments on the mic and memorable experiences with guests and listeners. Dwight remembers meeting and interviewing the late, great Bernie Wrightson, Adrian recalls gifts he received from comic artist Ho Che Anderson, and Swain reminisces about a conversation with one of his artistic heroes, Neal Adams, at the end of a long convention weekend. As our first episode of the year and in the twilight of the holidays, it feels like the perfect time to reflect on all the meaningful moments we’ve had. We hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful holiday season, and we’re excited for what’s to come in the new year! And hey, you can find all 339 episodes from our previous incarnation (SiDEBAR - The Art and Comics Podcast) available at archive.org. They have been graciously curated by our friend Christopher Hatfield. (Our eternal thanks, Chris!) And as always, thanks for listening.
