It's ready, I'm excited and I couldn't have done it without all the kickstarter backers who supported this project. I was able to make something and importantly I was able to pay other people. We helped actors, musicians and audio technicians by paying them for their work and I think thats rad. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED THE STARWELL FOUNDATION, SEASON 1.

The Kickstarter is Almost Over! For The StarWell Foundation Season 1
March 06, 2023 20:52 - 10 minutes - 10.5 MBWe're almost at the end of the for The StarWell Foundation audio drama Season 1 so here's a bit of an update. We made the initial funding AND the first stretch goal of an additional special episode! There is still time to share and promote and possibly get the 2nd stretch goal so backers can see a map of Brava City! I connected with some other podcasts to promote the campaign, talk villains, podcasting, audio drama making and more! Updated! With new links! And since we're so close to ...
Kickstarter Launch for The StarWell Foundation Season 1 !!!
February 06, 2023 19:44 - 18 minutes - 23 MBThe campaign goes live on Tuesday February 7th! I'll be trying to raise $1,500 to produce a 6 episode season following the events of StarWell itself, it's brand new facilitator Mary Dare, her first Villain that agreed to visit children at a hospital Malvarmo along with new heroes, villains, places, challenges, threats and obstacles to overcome. Please consider backing so I can make this story a reality. If you can't help by backing you can always still help by sharing! Share the campaign p...

Late December 2022 Update
December 24, 2022 23:20 - 5 minutes - 5.26 MBHi everyone, It's time I checked in to make a few announcements and say sorry that I've been busy since March... But As of this update I'm combining the 2 episodes of the pilot season of The StarWell Foundation into one and will be re-uploading it for anyone who missed it the first time around and as a fresh start because Next month, January of 2023 I plan on launching a kickstarter for Season 1 of The StarWell Foundation. I'm very excited for that, I hope you stick around and I mention some ...
Episode 450: The End.
March 31, 2022 02:22 - 2 hours - 129 MBWell, here we are. I toyed with the idea of doing the minimalist "ok, that's it!" and leaving it at that but I feel like that would have been doing the episode a disservice seeing as this one snowballed into a little more than we expected. A few weeks back we released part 1 of the OMV All-Stars and the first half of this episode is going to feature part 2. Turns out we relied on a lot of All-Stars and despite all the planning, we ran out of episodes. Luckily, with Colin getting us all emotio...
Episode 449: Ten Years Later.
March 26, 2022 03:22 - 1 hour - 68.2 MBThe emotions are starting to hit. Even just creating the title card for this episode hit me with waves of happy, sad, nostalgia, and relief. There aren't many things I can say I've done consistently for 10 years straight. It turns out a decade is a long-ass time to do anything, especially something like a podcast. But here we are. Our super official, by-the-books anniversary was technically sometime last week but we still have one episode left to release before we close up shop and if the las...
Episode 448 with Colin: The Exit Interview.
March 19, 2022 00:58 - 1 hour - 75.6 MBThe closer we get to the end, the harder it gets to write these things. Not because I'm tired or just fed up with it, but because we're talking with so many amazing people and it's difficult to come up with ways of saying how much they mean to us without it becoming repetitive. Like, how many ways can you say "here's another one of our best friends, listen to us thank them for the next two hours."? I guess this week's episode is a little easier because while we were ready to do exactly that, ...
Episode 447 with Bob, Kt, Ryan, Jes, & Kyle: The OMV All-Stars Part 1.
March 11, 2022 18:21 - 2 hours - 89.7 MBThe march to episode 450 continues this week with a multitude of guests who have been featured countless times in the past. And while "countless" might be an exaggeration because you can literally count the number of times they've been on, it doesn't begin describe their impact and contributions to the show over the years. Doing these last few episodes has really shown Alex and me just how many people we've relied on and how they were always ready and willing to give us a hand whenever we ask...
Episode 446 with Brett Kelley: One Last Time.
February 26, 2022 02:25 - 1 hour - 52.4 MBIf you pull up any random episode of OMV, there's about a 1 in 10 chance you'll hear Brett Kelley's voice. Given that we're almost 450 episodes deep into this thing, that's a pretty insane statistic and goes to show how much of an asset he has been to Alex and me over the last 10 years. Whether it helping us come up with ideas for new stuff, covering a show as an official OMV correspondent, or just calling in to hang out and let us record him for an hour; Bret was, quite literally, always the...
Episode 445 With Brandon Chalmers, Jamie Noguchi, Marty Day, and Ross Nover: The Longest Episode.
February 19, 2022 01:38 - 3 hours - 134 MBI'm going to preface all of this by saying one thing: maybe bust out the headphones for this one if you haven't already cuz there's some language. You have been warned. With that said, we have an absolutely phenomenal episode for you this week featuring an all-star cast of guests. Over the last 8ish years we've had the of to some from the Baltimore area who are either currently a part of, or were former members of, a group by the name of Super Art Fight. They're no strangers to this show ...
Episode 444 With Eisner Nominated Artist Joe Eisma!
February 05, 2022 04:29 - 1 hour - 50.8 MBPosting this episode feels like a triumph. Like we conquered some sort of mythical beast....completed an epic quest. Not through any fault of our guest or anything....but because it felt like the world didn't want this episode to happen. Between technical difficulties and internet issues it genuinely felt like this episode was cursed for a minute. But here we are. And I'm mere minutes away from clicking "Publish" so ya'll can listen to a rad chat we had with Eisner nominated artist Joe Eisma ...
Episode 443 With Jason Ginsburg: The Future of @FakeThemePark. (With Special Guest Host: Will!)
January 29, 2022 04:57 - 1 hour - 57.2 MBThis is another one of those "goodbye" episodes. We had our first one with Joe a few weeks ago and now we're back with a double-whammy. You probably already read the title of the episode but this week is back so we can bend his ear for a bit about his experience talking about monsters when he was a tour guide for Universal. (We also had some help from our special guest-host Will who, with his expansive knowledge of monsters, was like a kid in a candy shop talking with Jason.) Talking monster...
Episode 442 with Amanda Putnam: Archery, Elf Ears, & The Art Of The Fantastical.
January 15, 2022 04:28 - 1 hour - 48.8 MBThis episode was a ton of fun to record for a couple reasons. The main one being we got to chat with a local artist who specializes in illustrating watercolor fantasy, dabbles in archery, and is a champion of expressing yourself and living your best life. She's also a friend and former co-worker of one of our best pals in the whole, wide world (unbeknownst to us, we had no idea until after we had reached out to her). Her name is and when she isn't educating today's youth in the ways of the a...
Episode 441 with Rob Guillory!
December 18, 2021 02:35 - 1 hour - 42.3 MBSo this one was pretty neat. We've been big fans of Rob Guillory for some time now beginning with his work on the critically acclaimed Image book CHEW and continuing to his latest project Farmhand (also from Image). You probably don't need us to tell you how good Rob is seeing as there's a couple of Eisners, a Harvey Award, and the 2013 "Jayare's End of the Year Award" for best artist to do the talking for us. (That last one is especially important.) He's arguably the most decorated guest we'...
Episode 440 with Joe: The Importance of Companionship.
November 30, 2021 23:49 - 1 hour - 52.5 MBIt would be virtually impossible to properly convey just how important Joe is both to the show and to Alex and me as a friend. He is one of the main people we leaned on the most when we first started out in 2012 and always made time to come on and chat with us whenever we hit him up. Over time, he turned into our unofficial gaming correspondent, providing brilliant write-ups and reviews in addition to vital coverage in the field at shows like PAX East. He gave us suggestions for potential gue...
Episode 439 with Rich Woodall: The Busiest Man In Comics?
November 20, 2021 16:15 - 1 hour - 42.2 MBYou'd be hard-pressed to find someone who has left a bigger impact on this show in a mere than Rich Woodall. I've said it before but it still holds true today: he's arguably the kindest and most humble creator we've had the pleasure of talking with. He's got talent for days and it seems like he couldn't stop making things even if he tried. In the past, we've talked at length with Rich about the comics he's made, the people he's worked with, and the projects he Kickstarted. Now, since we last...
Episode 438: Fear and Muppets.
October 30, 2021 00:57 - 1 hour - 66.6 MBI'm not sure what else to write here as the title of this episode contains everything you need to know. I guess I can elaborate a bit, though. This week it's just Alex and me and to top off this year's spooky-sodes we're talking about fear. The things that scare us. The things that make us uncomfortable, that make us squirm, that we've been avoiding for years whether we were aware of it or not. The real good stuff. Good, old-fashioned fear. We also talked about The Muppets. Kinda hard to go w...
Episode 437 With Brandon Boone and Nichole Goodnight: Music, Speedrunning, and "The No Sleep Podcast".
October 23, 2021 00:42 - 1 hour - 71.6 MBOk so it took us a little longer than normal to get to our usual spooky-filled episodes but we promise it was worth the wait because this episode is jam-packed with so many rad things. This week, we had the absolute pleasure of talking with not one, but TWO contributors of the insanely popular ""! For those unaware, "The No Sleep Podcast" is an award-winning anthology series of original horror stories. They've been making content and releasing episodes since 2011 and are set to begin their 17...
Episode 436 With Daniel Govar and Tony Moy: The Paint Bros.
September 30, 2021 15:19 - 1 hour - 55.8 MBOur guests this week are no strangers to the OMV universe and despite having multiple cumulative appearances under their belts, they've never come on the show at the same time. Until now. That's right. We're trying the whole "4 people in 4 separate locations desperately trying to not talk over each other" and this time we're joined by artists Daniel Govar and Tony Moy! Now, it would be fun to just hang and chat with them about what they've been up to over the last few years, but there is a re...
Episode 435 With Ryan Matta and D.W. Kann: Welcome To The Jungle.
September 11, 2021 15:37 - 1 hour - 47.2 MBWe got to talk about Tarzan for the better part of an hour with two guys who are about to Kickstart a Tarzan book next month. It was a pretty great Thursday, I'm not going to lie. Our old friend D.W. Kann is back with us and this time he brought one of his writing partners, Ryan Matta, to talk about the first volume up their upcoming comic Tarzan The Untamed. Rather than re-telling your typical origin story, D.W. and Ryan are adapting a different time in Tarzan's life: "Book one finds Tarzan ...
Episode 434: The Countdown Begins.
August 21, 2021 15:56 - 1 hour - 57.3 MBI was going to leave this super vague and cryptic because this episode contains a major announcement that we cover right off the bat. But I also feel obligated to tell you that afterwards, there's some tasty SPOILERS for The Suicide Squad. We did our best to point it out in the episode, but for those who might tend to skip around, I wanted to make sure it was known. So yeah. Spoilers ahead! Now, back to the vague and cryptic. Check out this week's episode where The Countdown....begins. -Jr.
Episode 433 With Lora Bird: Honestbird Tattoo and The Nest Art Collective.
July 31, 2021 02:53 - 57 minutes - 41 MBWe've talked about tattoos from time to time over the last 430+ episodes. In fact, the topic of tattoos can be found as early as episode 16 as part of that week's "The Big Question". For those trying to do the math, that was back in July of 2012 and as you probably could have guessed; Brett Kelley was the guest that week. Because of course he was. But this week is different. This week, for the first time ever (we're pretty sure), we had the chance to talk with not just a fan of tattoos but an...
Episode 432 With Stunt Performer Paul Drechsler-Martell: How To Look Like You're Getting Hurt For A Living.
July 24, 2021 04:18 - 1 hour - 52.5 MBThis week I learned "squib jackets" are a thing. Like, I always knew about jackets. And with Alex doing SFX makeup I'm aware of what squibs are. But combining the two was never a concept I had thought of until this week's guest, Paul Drechsler-Martell, casually mentioned wearing one on the set of Daredevil a few years back. You see, Paul is a stunt performer. He does the dangerous things you might see in a movie or television show that other people either physically or legally can't do. For e...
Episode 431 with Brett Kelley: The Return.
July 10, 2021 03:46 - 1 hour - 60.6 MBIf I'm reading our own website correctly, it has been over two years since the last full appearance of our dear, dear friend Brett Kelley. That fact will shock any longtime listener as Brett holds many records within the OMV universe and there was a time when he was making appearances on a weekly basis. Luckily, recording a podcast with Brett is just like riding the proverbial bike and despite the long hiatus we still managed to stay (mostly) on track and lay down a pretty sweet episode for y...
Episode 430 with Jim Calafiore: We Need To Talk About Ned.
June 11, 2021 15:21 - 1 hour - 43.2 MBJim Calafiore is back! It's been a while since we've seen him (or anyone) at a con, and even longer since we last got to chat on our show; but Jim is back with us this week and, as expected, we're talking comics. Specifically, we're talking Ned. Ned is your average guy. Like the rest of us, he's got his share of problems - relationship troubles, deceased family members, zombie roommates. His father is one of the Lords of Hell. You know, the usual stuff. We were first introduced to Ned and his...
Episode 429 with Tony Fabro: Three Panel Crimes.
May 29, 2021 02:37 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBI have a dumb brain. When it comes to symbolism, interpretation, and open-endedness, my brain just does not compute. If something doesn't have a clear meaning or ending, I'm pretty much immediately on Google trying to get other people to explain what I just saw and/or read. It's not for a lack of trying, I genuinely try to figure things out...but this big, dumb brain of mine doesn't like it. With that said, upon reading some of the Three Panel Crimes comics on Instagram, my dumb-brainness kic...
Ep. 428 with Artist Jamal Igle: An Inkpot Award Winner Takes Us To "The Wrong Earth"!
May 22, 2021 02:34 - 54 minutes - 39.4 MBIt appears Spring has officially sprung because my sinuses have been in a constant state of explosion for the last few weeks. It's been a rough allergy season but luckily they gave me a few hours of relief, long enough for us to chat with a comic pro in ! Jamal has been involved in the comics world in some way, shape, or form since the early 90s. He's worked on books for just about every major publisher whether it's DC, Marvel, Image, etc. You name it, he's probably done some work there. He's...
Episode 427 with Artist & Writer Ben Templesmith!
April 29, 2021 19:10 - 1 hour - 78.1 MBI got my 2nd Covid vaccine shot today and as of this writing I'm feeling great but, given all that I have read and seen on the internet, that's subject to change within the next few hours. So, I'm writing this the day before posting in the hopes that my planning ahead will work out for the best and all I have to do is click "publish" tomorrow afternoon. And yes, I usually write these posts that no one reads mere minutes before posting the episodes...what can I say? I'm a lifelong procrastinat...
Episode 426 with Michael Bracco and Mike Isenberg: The Monuments.
April 17, 2021 01:53 - 1 hour - 46.4 MBThis episode is all about old friends, new friends, and the rad things they make. In this case, it's a graphic novel called The Monuments and, as of this writing, it's currently crushing it over on . The aforementioned friends? Well longtime listeners of the show will be thrilled to hear that is making his long-awaited return and this time he's joined by one of his creative partners-in-crime, ! Michael and Mike along with Oliver Mertz have created an amazing new world and after years of pla...
Episde 425 with Jared Skolnick: We're Talking About The Snyder Cut.
March 31, 2021 19:19 - 1 hour - 65.9 MBSo The Snyder Cut happened. It's been a while since we did the whole "let's ramble about the latest blockbuster movie" so we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to do just that. With this being a discussion about movies, we also thought it would be fun to include our good friend Jared Skolnick in the conversation seeing as he writes, directs, and appreciates movies better than we could ever imagine. This is probably a good time to mention that Jared has a and a that you can check ...
Episode 424: The 9 Year Anniversary.
March 18, 2021 20:49 - 1 hour - 96.7 MBAnother year of casting pods has come and gone and this one, despite the odd circumstances and ongoing global pandemic, was a pretty solid banger. Of course, I'm biased. But after listening to the yearly montage that Alex put together featuring some of the best clips and snippets from the last year, you'll understand where I'm coming from. This recap is the longest one yet so I'm going to do my best to keep this short. With that said, we talked to some incredible people over the past 23 episo...
Episode 423 with Eric McCoy and Justus Meyer: Have You Heard About Doomlings?
February 27, 2021 15:05 - 57 minutes - 41.8 MBYou're going to want to set yourself a reminder for March 2nd. I realize that doesn't make any sense at the moment, but bear with me because this week we're talking about a rad little card game called "Doomlings". To put it simply, Doomlings is described as "A delightful card game for the end of the world" and it's coming to Kickstarter soon on, you guessed it, March 2nd! We're especially psyched about this one because while Doomlings is cute and easy to learn, it's also surprisingly strateg...
Episode 422 With Musician Christina Pepper: How A Pianist Keeps Busy During A Pandemic.
February 13, 2021 04:03 - 54 minutes - 38.4 MBWith the last episode being such a major departure from what we typically talk about here on OMV, it would probably be a good idea to get back to basics and start talking about comics, movies, and videogames again. But we didn't. We kinda did. But we mostly didn't. Have I completely lost you yet? I hope not because this week we got to talk with a super rad guest in musician and YouTuber Christina Pepper! Christina is a professional pianist who has been uploading pieces to YouTube for over a d...
Episode 421: Ok. Let's Talk About $GME.
January 30, 2021 18:25 - 1 hour - 47.7 MBSo, yeah. This one is a bit of a departure from our normal song-and-dance. Rather than discuss the latest happenings in the comics world, the next neat thing coming to Kickstarter, or bothering one of our friends to come on and talk about Star Wars or something....we took a dive into the world of diamond hands and rocket ships. Hedge funds and short squeezes. Folks. We're talking about the stock market. One could make the argument that "hey, it's GameStop! Videogames! OMV talks about videogam...
Episode 420 With The Founder Of LionWing Publishing: Bradly Halestorm!
January 16, 2021 16:49 - 57 minutes - 39.8 MBHappy New Year, ya'll! We're kicking 2021 off with a bang as this week we had the absolute pleasure of chatting with the founder of - Bradly Halestorm! I case you're not familiar, Bradly and his team at LionWing specialize in localizing Eastern tabletop games for gamers in the West. In other words: they specialize in one of the most challenging and meticulous jobs in the industry. One might think it's as simple as asking the Google to translate some words into English and calling it a day. A...
Episode 419 with Babs: Dungeons & Babbins.
December 26, 2020 15:44 - 59 minutes - 42.5 MBThis pandemic sucks. I think we're all aware of it and we can all agree the last 10 months have just straight up sucked. I could write about 5,000 words just off the top of my head listing off all the sucky things about pandemics but I'm not going to do that. What I'm going to do is hype up our friend Babs because unlike me, she has spent her pandemic time being productive.
