indian comics

Every phan has an opinion so we have opened the podcast microphone and allowed several phans to voice their opinions on several key modern day topics. This podcast is the recorded conversation between Jermayn Parker and five other phans from around Australia and India. 

If you missed the open mic invite and are now kicking yourself for missing out and want to participate next time, keep an eye out on our website or social media platforms, you can also email us ahead of time to express your interest in our next open mic invitation. 

If your one of the phans who can only listen to some parts of the podcast, below is a timeline of what we discussed.

• Should we be moving to colour or are you happy with a mix of black and white and colour? 7 Minutes 30 Seconds
• If Frew needed to raise the price of the comic to keep up with costs would phans be ok with say 30c, 50c or even a $1 price jump? 18 Minutes
• Do you have any ideas for a Frew 75th Special? 21 Minutes
• Are you excited about the new Phantom video game? 29 Minutes
• What are your strategies for reaching a new audience of Phantom phans? 48 Minutes
