Comic News Insider Episode 1613 - 20th Anniversary Show w/ Michael Emerson/Greg Pak/Cynthia Von Buhler!

Comic News Insider: Episode 1613 is now available for free download! Click on the link or follow on Spotify/subscribe on iTunes!

Jimmy and Producer Joe celebrate their 20th anniversary with a special live recording with guests Michael Emerson, Greg Pak and Cynthia Von Buhler. While a bit last minute due to schedules & other glitches, it all came together nicely! As usual, Jimmy wrote some silly parody songs and sang them along with the CNI Chorus consisting of Sara Garfinkel, Kami Graves and Amy Wolk. Always funnier since we didn't really rehearse it much. We also get a very special news segment with Sara and Kami though make sure you check their sources. Thanks to the friends who came and even brought friends! It was a different set up as well because Producer Joe had to stay in the tech booth for most of the show. But it all turned out to be the usual fun times had by all!
