For episode 69, I got a chance to chat with someone that I'm a huge fan of. He has also been on the podcast previously all the way back on episode 8 (along with his wife and Jupiter Jet co-creator, Ashley Victoria Robinson), Jason Inman!
Both Jason and Ashley are also hosts of not only one of my favorite geek and pop culture podcasts...but one of my favorite podcasts overall, Geek History Lesson!
Jason recently wrote his first non-fiction book, Super Soldiers: A Salute to the Comic Book Heroes and Villains Who Fought for Their Country and like Geek History Lesson, not only was I fully entertained, but I learned something too! He covered sixteen soldiers, some that I knew about like Captain America, some that I didn’t, like Gravedigger and some I was surprised to find, like Beetle Bailey.
While I Ioved learning about each character’s military perspective and the reflection of society in each of their respective times in history, perhaps what I loved even more are Jason’s personal anecdotes of his own U.S. Army experiences in the Iraq. There are some very heartfelt moments in this book!
Super Soldiers is available now for purchase (there is a Kindle and paperback version) on Amazon and if you will be in the Los Angeles, CA area on Saturday, June 22, 2019 from 11am to 12:30pm, he will be doing a book signing at Earth 2 Comics in Sherman Oaks.
I hope you enjoy my conversation with Jason Inman!
