Flashback: Shortbox Showcase #1, from 2013

In celebration of our network's 10th anniversary, we are proudly (mostly) re-presenting Alan and Em's first-ever podcast team-up, on Shortbox Showcase #1, originally airing July 20, 2013.

Forgive the very shaky audio quality, and forgive some of the very shaky opinions, as well.

In this, Alan and Em talk about the various "ages" in comic history. Put yourself back in history ten years, and enjoy this retro-flashback episode!
