The Vintage Rebellion Episode 74 Launched

What's better than 4 podcast hosts? No, silly... it's not free cheesy Wotsits for life, its of course having 5 hosts for this month. And because of that we've gone over 4 hours of scrumptious warbling for your earlugs. Who said you weren't lucky to have us.

The podcast celebrates 100k downloads thanks to an email from Podbean which is about a year out of date as we are currently over 115k downloads.

We pay tribute to James Martin as he sadly passed away in July after many years of fighting off cancer. A knowledgeable collector who we can proudly say was a good friend. R.I.P James.

Phil Bangert is our interviewee this month, and Richard catches up with him for a chat about his Star Wars collecting and a little chat about his love of all things football, despite being an American. Maybe Richard 'Arsenal' Hutchinson can learn a thing or two.

Jason's list of newest acquisitions is longer this month, so we've cut that down to just the first 1000 items. Andy Preston and Andy Spoons share their love of Marvel Weekly UK with Peter in the licensee section and you don't want to miss some of the clowning in the correspondence pages.

Rebel briefings has Richard getting righteously indignant about the latest repro drama, wondering how many small towns in Newcastle he can buy with the proceeds of a Rocket Firing Fett purchase and looks forward to more words in books from J.W.Rinzler.

James's family are doing a fundraiser for men's cancer in his memory if you would like to make a contribution. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/victoria-barrett11?fbclid=IwAR2AzkSRujOI40NKj4HFihxOVhoOIlx6M91wD5tQdLdm8ZK0lcb-0UnXKBY

Thanks again men.

I loved the comics discussion. I'll never forget the morning in 1986 when I picked up my waffer-thin comic, only to read that it was the last issue. No countdown, no fanfare, just a notice that Star Wars will continue to run in another comic but below Zoids on the bill. Zoids. :shock:

Guys, just caught up on the last couple of episodes and man you are all still doing a great job in these uncertain times! Lots being covered and keeping the vintage itch scratched!

Really enjoyed hearing Stu and fellow Sigma aficionado back on the last episode talking about what he's been up to, and the quizzes have been great fun to listen to as well.

This month's Comic focus was good fun to listen to and I never knew about the 4 additional 1977 comics that were re-covered American issues (something else for me add to find)!
