Virtual JoeCon powers onward with a new panel, led by Arune Singh, Vice President of Marketing for BOOM! Studios! Arune gets to the core of GI Joe fandom with Mike Irizarry, "The Honcho" Mark Weber, cosplayer extraordinaire Sara Detrick, and IDW G.I. Joe scribe Paul Allor, piecing together what makes their individual Skystrikers fly. It's a fun discussion with a lot of heart!
Virtual JoeCon is a fundraiser for World Central Kitchen! If you can, please visit our Virtual JoeCon fundraising page and spare a few dollars to help those who are helping feed the people most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic:

It's October, which means changing leaves, pumpkin spice, Halloween, and... WOJM Ladies Night! Joe and (Honorary Lady) Mike are joined once again by Sara Detrick and Kate McLeod for discussion, news, and one of the best "Losertown" segments of all time!
Since the holiday season is upon us, Joe leads the team through a brief discussion of GI Joe-themed vintage Halloween costumes and Hallmark Christmas ornaments, and Sara is scarred by Lady Jaye while taking a shine to Speedy. You can find pictures of the costumes at:

Also, Mike leads a mini-interview of Joe, as she recounts her long, eleven-year journey towards becoming an American citizen, which she completed September 11. Congratulations to Joe!

Sara Detrick brazenly campaigns for Joe Colton's chair on WOJM as Mike takes stock of the noon hour at COIL Con 10 in Dayton, Ohio.

Mike and Sara Detrick finally appear on the podcast at the same time, ending the rumor that they are, in fact, the same person.
Joe Colton and Sara Detrick take the reigns for this interview with Sunbow's irreplaceable Baroness, Morgan Lofting! Morgan takes her intrepid hosts through her passage through "The Biz" and beyond, touching on such widespread topics as fan conventions and ancient European history. It's an enlightening hour - wear a loose hat and let your mind expand!

Mike returns to Joe's booth, where they appease the food fetishists, take selfies while recording, and accost a show-goer into showing off his prize purchase, a chromed helicopter. Mike plugs Cook Out, a local eatery chain, and begrudgingly names Mary Mercenary his new Head of WOJM Merchandise, since WOJM fans don't buy t-shirts.

October is both Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Domestic Violence Awareness Month, so the team decided it was a good time to give the keys to Joe Colton and bring back our Ladies' Night tradition (Ladies Night III to be exact)! Joining Joe is Spider-Slayer and Tinkles (old friends of the show Sara Detrick and Kate McLeod), and together they'll explore the world of GI Joe from a feminine perspective - from cosplaying to collecting and may stops in between. You'll also learn the origins of their special code names (for the record, Joe's is "Sniffles") and have a laugh or twenty along the way. Pour yourself a favorite beverage - just like our hostesses with the mostesses - and enjoy!
PS, if you enjoyed this edition of Ladies Night, go back into our archives and listen to Ladies Night I and II. You won't be disappointed.
