Podcast Alert! Meltcast & The Beat Bee Sessions, 2 Podcast You Should Bee Listening To
If there were 2 podcast you should be listening to they should be Meltcast with Meltdown staffers Chris and Caleb & The Beat Bee Sessions with good Meltdown friends Jim Mahfood and Jane Dope. Put your headphones on and LISTEN NOW!
The Meltcast is a comics podcast. It’s the brainchild of Chris Rosa, recorded every Wednesday at the renowned Meltdown Comics on Sunset Blvd in LA. Aaron Brewer handles the technical stuff on the recording side, and Francisco handles the technical stuff on the web side. And Caleb Monroe co-hosts. Basically, a small collection of comics raconteurs and ne’er-do-wells given microphones and free rein.
We have a wide-ranging perspective because, between our three hosts, we have 1 professional comics writer, 2 comics retailers and 3 life-long comics fans.
We have big plans for the Meltcast. Big plans. We may be a little garage, a little DIY, a little punk, a little rough around the edges right now, but we put it up for you to listen to anyway. Every week. We’re the big podcast that could.
The Beat Bee Sessions:
The Beat Bee, mysterious cosmic funkanaut of the the intergalactic spaceways, delivers his magic Mixtapes throughout the universe to spread the love and joy of real music! He has chosen Food One and Jane Dope (ANGEL CITY DERBY GIRLS, & EAT YOUR ART OUT) to broadcast his funky signals on planet Earth…an all-new, weekly podcast guaranteed to clean the cobwebs out ‘yo mind.
