China is a nation of many rivers and following mass industrialization efforts in the mid-20th century, China also became a nation of dams. One of those important dams was the Banqiao on the River Ru. The Chinese government boasted that the Banqiao Dam was built to withstand a once-in-a-thousand-year rainstorm. There was only one small problem: in August of 1975, eastern China was about to be hit by a once-in-a-two-thousand year rainstorm. The combination of a typhoon colliding with a cold front caused more than 40 inches of rain to fall in one day with 7.5 inches falling in just one hour. During the storm more than 62 dams would fail and more than 200,000 people were reported killed.

Jimmy attended the press luncheon for AMC's new reality show COMIC BOOK MEN which debuts this Sunday, February 12th at 10pm EST on AMCTV. He got the first 40 minutes of the press conference for your listening pleasure! Apologies for not the best of sound so turn that volume up! Creator of the series, Kevin Smith himself, led the discussion with questions from the press. Jimmy got a couple of good ones in himself! They even broached the subject that caused a bit of a kerfluffle in the comics community regarding the lack of women in the show. Kevin Smith invited Jimmy out to the set of the show the next day and Jimmy gives you his report. Make sure you listen to last episode 383 with interviews with Kevin Smith, Walt Flanagan and Bryan Johnson. Thanks to all involved especially Kayla at Ferencomm and Kevin's assistant Meghan. Leave your iTunes comments! 5 stars and nothing but love!
