Englishman In San Diego

This is the audio version of the Talkin' Con: A Cup O' Tea with An Englishman In San Diego podcast - I am your Englishman In San Diego, Leonard Sultana, confusingly based in the UK but hosting this international on a weekly basis, where we gather every Sunday and celebrate the events at which we embrace the fandoms we love! This is Season 6 Episode 2 and this week is an episode of firsts - we get to talk to CNET's Erin Carson, someone who attended San Diego Comic-Con for the first time in July 2018 and we chat about what its actually like to go to this monster of a show, fresh out of the gate, against all of the expectation and hype, as well as balancing covering the show as a busy press person and as an enthusiastic newbie attendee. And then we speak to Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, the creator of the comics critique and analysis monthly, Panel X Panel, an online magazine that was nominated for an Eisner Award for the first time this July, discussing what it means to have that honour bestowed upon you in 2018.
