Big ups to Rivkah for pointing me in the direction of the Horcast, the podcast for Horhaus Studios (Karl Kerschl, Brenden Fletcher, Kalman Andrasofszky, and Matthew Forsythe). Although it's a surprising pain to get onto iTunes (see, it's allowing me to subscribe and you can individually download all the shows since #6 [a whole other disappointment, because the first five are just as good] but for some reason it's still coming up with the Exclamation Point Of Doom in my iTunes Podcast channel) it's hands down the best comics podcast I've ever heard. Sure there might be more radioey ones out there, but this one basically takes all the things I love about Diggnation or Major Nelson (a loose and conversational style plus an insider's perspective) and puts them into a Podcast about comics.
Just got finished with the first one and there's a point where Karl Kerschl is talking about his design for Superman and the conversation turns so in depth that they end up talking about one line that was used in Superman's Justice League Unlimited design that was later removed. Fascinating, awesome stuff. It's surprising to me that something that's so in depth and actually well produced isn't completely burning its way across the comics blogosphere. Maybe it is and I haven't noticed, but they've actually bothered to put up video posts as well. I mean, there should be a Fanboy Rampage story everytime a new episode airs. The shit is that tight.
Also, it doesn't hurt that Horhaus' work is so easy on the eyes.
