It's a special episode of Punks in Pubs!

On the back of the last episode with Matthew Medney, a comic book writer and the former CEO of the Heavy Metal franchise, Liam revisits his 2015 BBC radio documentary, "White Men In Capes." Originally pitched with a more provocative title!

The documentary explores the diversity, or lack thereof, within the comic book industry. Narrated by the renowned DJ Semtex, known for his work with Radio 1 and Radio 1 Xtra and his passion for comics, the documentary uniquely attempts to emulate the feel of a comic book through its storytelling.

Enjoy this unique blend of comic book culture and radio documentary as Punks in Pubs brings "White Men In Capes" to a new audience.

We're back from our Mexico trip and delving into the realms of comics and sci-fi in our latest episode featuring Matthew Medney, former CEO of the iconic Heavy Metal franchise!

We discuss his tenure at the helm of this legendary brand, as well as his current endeavour, "Mutant Cats," with Gungnir. Our conversation delves into his enthusiasm for creativity, music, and the intriguing crossroads of comics and culture. Additionally, Matthew shares anecdotes from his collaborations with electronic music luminaries such as Kayzo and Knife Party.

We even touch on the punk ethos that influenced his father to leave his job and venture into selling kids' bath toys to KFC!
