Today, Fanboy Comics (FBC) released the 200th episode of its flagship podcast, The Fanboy Scoop: Week in Review, and to mark the occasion, the FBC staff is excited to share that all-around incredible geek Claire Thorne will be joining the show as a co-host!
Now in its fifth season, The Fanboy Scoop: Week in Review podcast discusses the top geek news stories of the week from the daily e-newsletter, The Fanboy Scoop. Each episode features a special industry guest, with previous guests having included Camden Toy (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel), Heath Corson (Justice League: Throne of Atlantis, Batman: Assault on Arkham), Jody Houser (Orphan Black), Sandy King Carperter (John Carpenter’s Asylum), and Jon Armstrong (The Magic Castle, Smoke and Mirrors).
Thorne has made a name for herself in the geek community both in her time as a Fanboy Comics Contributor, reviewing countless comic books, films, and novels, as well as through her own company, An Unexpected Hobby. Launched in early 2015, An Unexpected Hobby is home to the many facets of Thorne’s geekery, including crafting, sewing, and embroidery. She creates all of her own stitching patterns (which are available for purchase) and also creates do-it-yourself crafting kits for a fair number of planets in the Geek Universe, including Star Trek, Zombies, Dark Tower, Time Lords, Space Cowboys, Hobbits, Evil Geniuses, Good Guys, Bad Guys, Girls of all Shapes, Sizes, and Cylon models. An Unexpected Hobby may be found on Etsy and on its official blog.
Starting on Monday, October 12, 2015, Claire Thorne will join podcast co-hosts Barbra Dillon (FBC Managing Editor), Bryant Dillon (FBC President), and Drew Siragusa (FBC Senior Contributor) as the Week in Review continues with its fifth season. All episodes of the podcast may be found on the Fanboy Comics website, as well as on iTunes.
“Claire is an incredible wealth of geeky knowledge, and her amazing wit, thoughtfulness, and energy will be a welcome addition to the show,” says FBC Managing Editor Barbra Dillon.
