Columbus day Podcasts!

 A few podcasts I did will be posting soon and I am doing another tonight (They want to talk about the awful DVDs and Blu Rays being released this Holiday season).   I did a podcast specifically for Halloween (over the Summer) and Mad Monster Party that should go up tonight.  My second appearance on the Totally Rad Christmas podcast should be up soon too!   I am doing another CARTOONERIFIC interview tonight with Brian Mitchell.  I am ready to schedule and do my Holiday radio interview coast to coast this year too!

July is starting off right!

I am doing a couple of podcasts on July 5th and to my surprise, have been in talks about another network television appearance (more info to come).

I am appearing at the Wheaton all-night flea market in August and then the Halloween all-night flea market in October!   Also doing the Southside Comic book show in September at Alan B. Shepard high school.  There will be some new releases of Rankin/Bass product that I will be discussing soon too!
 

Many fun things coming up in 2022! I have incoming on books tomorrow! Rankin/Bass' Mad Monster Party back in-stock!

 

Not sure if I will be doing any appearances in 2022...

 I really don't need to and the shows aren't much fun anymore, with all the various rules and restrictions.   Travel isn't fun (It never was)...so we will see.  The photo above is from my last appearance this past Halloween!   I was really busy there and Zurko Promotions is Excellent

I heard from Santa today! Getting closer to setting up a date at Santa's Village :) If I haven't gotten back to you, I will! Sales have been through the roof since September hit and I am doing my best to keep up! #Santasvillage #Rankinbassproductions #Rickgoldschmidt

May only do one or two more appearances this year...
