When you think about cartoonist journalists, the first (and probably only) name that comes to mind is almost always Joe Sacco. And for good reason, because the man has been using his cartoonist skills in the service of in-depth reporting for over 20 years.

This week, Mike & Greg take a look at Journalism” a collection of his shorter reports over a 10-year period from such assignments as Iraq, The Hague, Gaza, India, Malta, and the Caucasus. It’s a 200-page hardcover that provokes more thought and questions in that page count than most OGNs at twice the size. The lads try and come at them from a few different angles, ranging from Sacco’s cartooning chops, how objective a reporter like Sacco can (or should) be, what advantages cartooning has over more naturalistic means of capturing information, why color should or shouldn’t be used in Sacco’s work, who influenced him, and much much more on this week’s episode

Robots From Tomorrow is a weekly comics podcast recorded deep beneath the Earth’s surface. You can subscribe to it via iTunes or through the RSS feed at RobotsFromTomorrow.com. You can also follow Mike and Greg on Twitter. Stay safe and enjoy your funny books.

We're back Creamies for the 2020 Pride48 Weekend...maybe we'll stick around.

This week, Isaac and Demetria investigate the case that grabbed headlines across 1920s America. We'll talk about the intersection of xenophobia, violent anarchism, and the American legal system, and how all of them manifested in a bungled case that remains divisive to this day. 

Sacco and Vanzetti's letters from prison are available here.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.  Some people go out to dinner, some people go to the movies and some people drink a bottle of champagne, eat a whole pizza and watch a movie where everyone dies.  To each their own.

Also…

 - Should Brian Williams get the axe?
 - Should Wendy’s tenant get the axe?
 - Movie Review of Selma
 - The confusing tragedy of Bobbi Kristina.

…and so much more!

Cocktails and Cream Puffs has hit a milestone and the ENTIRE Cream Puff Gang has come together to celebrate!

Happy Pride Creamland!  Gay Pride month has officially started and we of course kick off the season with Buffalo's Gay Pride, this year themed "Out Loud".  Get into it!

Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” is indisputable the hottest song this summer.  However, if you listen closely to the song you’ll notice that some lyric are incomplete.  “You wanna hug me.  What rhymes with hug me?” Well, we have some options.

 Also in this episode we shoehorn in everything from packing for Las Vegas to militant actions against haters to Syria…..and Gary gets a gift!

This episode is all Aussie all the time!  We have Wendy’s stunningly attractive and charming nephew, Tim in studio as he makes a pit stop in Buffalo on his around the country tour.  Tim shares with us how this vacation of a lifetime is possible and his opinion of America. 

Season 8 is here and we decided to do something we have never done before…a LIVE broadcast from the garden.  Cream Puff changes, fabulous weeks and a challenge to help get Gary to Vegas.  Think of it as our very own kick starter.  If we don’t hit our goal all your money comes back.  How badly do you want Gary at the underwear party?

Be sure to check out www.pride48.com for all up to date info about the Las Vegas 5^th Anniversary Weekend.

The heat wave continues in the Cream City.  Be considerate in the meantime and get a pair of new scented underwear.  You're co-workers will thank you. 

Asian names were incorrectly reported after the Asiana plane crash.  Good joke, bad timing or just plain racism?  Russia outlaws all gay activities.  Will the Winter Olympics be safe for the Gay Olympians or should Team USA pull out?  Finally, we say goodbye to a young actor who left his mark on a generation.  RIP Corey Monteith.

We're #2 and proud of it!  Cocktails and Cream Puffs was rank #2 Gay Comedy Podcast by Rukkle.com.  We thank you for your recognition.

This week we discuss everything from Big Brother to the historical rulings from the US Supreme Court and everything in between. 

As we approach episode 200 we want to thank everyone for their constant support over the years.  When this show was born none of us could have dreamed the world of equality and acceptance we are living in now.  THANK YOU!

This past weekend was jam packed with fabulousity but exhausting as you will hear in our voices.  Not only was it Pride 48 Weekend but also the Ride for Roswell and the Buffalo 48 Hour Film Project.  I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

The 5th Anniversary Pride 48 LGBT Podcasting Marathon was an enormous success.  Thank you to everyone who participated, listened and joined in the chat room.

This episode is from the opening night of the marathon, June 21-23.

A very special Cocktails and Cream Puffs therapy session as Wendy and Gary take you on a roller coaster of emotions and a recap of Buffalo Pride.

Music from this episode includes "Please Don't Ask Me Your Name" from the album Roadsigns for Astronauts by The Fountains featuring Gary Andrews.  For the full song or album visit iTunes.

This is not a good hand of cards nor is it a 90's TV show from the TGIF line up.  Instead it's a really hot studio packed with all the Cream Puffs and special guests, Christina of Greetings from Nowhere and the #1 Creamie for 2013, Zombie Girl TJ.
