The Goadkicker Podcast is a place where I take a topic from pop culture (Comics, Movies, Music, TV, Books, and more) and try to look at it from a new light; exploring what that topic says to or about us as human beings. At the end of the show I then try to find an inspirational message in that topics. Think of it as a devotional, with no affiliation to any particular belief system.

Episode 7 of the Goadkicker Podcast
This episode I make obligatory remarks about the BvS movie. During which we shame people for thrashing creative content and ask for a shred of tone policing. This should make me very popular. I also talk about how we get attached to fictional characters as if they are beloved friends/family. I am a Christian, I know something about this phenomena. Lastly, we attend Nerd Church services where I talk about how friendship can doom us to forever miss the point if we aren't cautious.
Somewhere in all that I talk about the classic 8-bit NES game "Baseball Stars" and discuss Faith by Valiant (yes, again) and how the announcement of her new ongoing series has once again attracted fat shaming.
Thanks as always to Dischord Records for letting me use Nation of Ulysses as both my intro and outro music. Righteous.
