Welcome to week two of the 2024 season of SDConCast, the official podcast of the San Diego Comic-Con Unofficial Blog. This week we’re joined by returning guest Gary Sassaman, former Director of multiple departments at Comic-Con International, including Director of Programming (2000-2007), Director of Print and Publications (2007-2012), and Director of Print and Digital Media (2012-2021), to talk about his time at SDCC. We’ll talk what’s new with him over the last year, his Tales From My Spinner Rack panel series at both SDCC and WonderCon, as well as look back at Gary’s time at Comic-Con. We’ll discuss all of that and more, as well as the latest SDCC news and exclusives. You can find Gary’s My Life in Comics series on his blog, Innocent Bystander, which covers his time at Comic-Con International, his career as a small press comics creator and publisher, and more. It’s a great read, with an in-depth look at the world of Comic-Con behind the curtain. Join us for a fun and informative show!
