Interview: Rich Barrett or Nathan Edmondson

This year has been a roller coaster of events and interviews.  This show is no different.  Here we have 2 great interviews from completely separent events with 2 unrelated (as far as we know) people.  Why smash them together into one show?  What is it they have in common you ask?  Well, besides the occurance of the name Nathan and the fact that they were both recorded in 2010… together they were under 30 minutes long.  Enjoy Rich Barrett at the Charlotte Mini-Con and Nathan Edmondson on Free Comic Book Day at Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find.
