  • Comics on the Radio

    Your radio just got very, very cool. This week, the Boston Comics Roundtable was invited into the studios of WBUR to talk about the upcoming publication of Inbound 4. The interview, led by Radio Boston host Jane Clayson, wraps up a special episode with a “Literary Boston” theme.

    But there’s more…. the producers of WBUR helped us stage a live action radio drama based on Cathy Leamy‘s comic “The Old Howard,” one of the stories featured in Inbound #4. Voiced by members of the Boston Comics Roundtable, complete with music and sound effects, it’s really amazing.

    The radio drama and the interview will air live on 90.9 WBUR in the Boston area on Friday, October 23rd at 1pm, and again on Saturday, October 23rd at 1pm. It will also be available online Friday afternoon at Radio Boston’s website. You can watch a video version of Leamy’s story right now on Radio Boston.
