Friends Of The Show

Kevin Stahlecker - Founder & Guest Host (Former Cohost)

Kevin Stahlecker is a lifelong Texan, growing up and currently residing in the Houston area.

He discovered his love for comics and superheroes during his elementary years at the county library, reading a collected edition of Superman strips from the '40s and '50s during summer break. After that, you could find him on the playground swapping Wolverine trading cards and discussing the latest episode of X-Men: The Animated Series. He spent much of adolescence reading comics of all kinds and drawing superheroes in his spare time, and this greatly influenced his personality as he grew to adulthood.

He has spent the last 14 years as a public educator and uses his passion for pop culture and the visual arts in his roles as an Instructional Technology Coach and Principles of A/V Technology instruction. As a teacher, he is also a vocal advocate for the inclusion of comics and graphic novels in juvenile literacy programs.

Outside of school, he still collects comics, action figures, and trading cards, as well as draws in his spare time. He is also a huge fan of sci-fi, fantasy, and superhero movies/tv shows. He has been married to his amazing wife Catherine for 15 years, and they have 2 children, Madden and Caroline. Together, they love to plan regular trips to Walt Disney World or cosplaying at comic conventions.

We have our podcast because we enjoy it and we don't do it to make money. But running a podcast isn't easy or cheap, either. There are financial costs that we incur to make the podcast going (hosting the podcast itself, running a website, software to record and edit, etc.).
