Segment Three - Glenn Hauman Interview (53:20)
When he was in junior high school, Glenn took art lessons from John Buscema, the legendary (and quite tall) Marvel Comics artist. "I knew I could never draw like that that," he says. Instead, he found other ways to make comics his career, starting with working in a local comic shop in high school, and then the production department at DC Comics. He has fifteen years of experience in publishing, including work for Random House, Simon & Schuster, DC Comics and Apple Comics. Mr. Hauman has worked as a graphic designer, editor, photo retoucher, CD-ROM producer, story consultant for films, and radio show co-host of "Destinies - The Voice of Science Fiction" on WUSB 90.1 FM at SUNY/Stony Brook. His latest Star Trek e-book, Creative Couplings, has been getting press coverage for its portrayal of the first Klingon-Jewish wedding. In addition to Star Trek, he's written other licensed tie-in works for X-Men and Farscape, and urban fantasy for Baen Books. "My career is the definition of varied, and the one constant is that I find myself doing something new that still draws on past experiences," Hauman said. "I can't imagine something that draws on all the things I've done and all the things I want to do more than ComicMix."

Mon, 8 September 2008
Way back in 2008, John thought it would be a good idea to get together with his friends on a more regular basis and talk about those things they loved most. He likened it to their experience twenty years earlier on the public access show, The Chronic Rift. It only seemed natural to record the experience and make it a podcast. This is the first episode from September 2008 and it basically sets up what the gang hoped to accomplish with the podcast. This episode features both a Roundtable and an In Review segment and was originally only supposed to be released once a month. The size proved too much and it was agreed that the two portions would become episodes of their own. From there, the Spotlight episodes were then created.
