About STRANGE WAVES: The Strange Ways Comics & More Podcast
Strange Ways Comics & More is more than just a comic book store. It's a space designed to be entirely about community and The Strange Waves Podcast reflects that! Join Ben, and whatever guest walks through the studio doors, each week to talk about comics, movies, and more!
Strange Ways Army member Brian Mcknight completed a monumental task this year by playing through EVERY Legend of Zelda game in anticipation of the release of Nintendo's OCARINA OF TIME remake!
There's nothing better than talking with someone about something they love deeply and this conversation with Brian was all that and a plate full of fried Zora!

"WHY ARE YOU HERE?" WITH MAX HILLEBRAND
Max Hillebrand and I go a long long ways back. If you've ever heard us ramble together in the store or read through one of the many insane conversations we've had on the SW Discord and left confused... hopefully this clears it up.
It has truly been a massive joy to have Max so involved with the store, he's one of the people that makes this feel like family!

TALKIN' TRASH WITH THOMAS COLE
Thomas and Zoe have been incredible supporters of Strange Ways since day one and have both gone above and beyond to assist with store events and even just the day-to-day slog. It's been an honor getting to know them both better, and it was great to sit down with Thomas to learn about his comics journey! We're stoked to have listener questions back!
Thomas sat down with me while Zoe was next door hanging out with our friends at Unfettered Books for their weekly Stitch and Bitch cross-stitching and knitting circle. It happens every Friday evening if you or someone you know are interested in such!
We hope to soon upgrade our podcasting equipment to keep all that background noise from taking over the recording and allow you to hear Ben and each week's guest more clearly!
