Two fans started a podcast.

That’s the short version. The longer version is that we met in the service, spent years arguing about this stuff with each other, finally put a mic in front of it, and built everything you see here around those conversations.

The Come Up Podcast is a weekly show. Marvel, DC, anime, comics, fandom culture, and whatever we feel like getting into that week. Guests when the right ones show up. Real conversations, not a corporate playbook.

Around the show, long-form articles on the decisions, the deals, and the creative history behind the stories we all grew up on. We dig. We research. We write it up the way we’d want to read it. Some of it we already knew. A lot of it we learned while writing it.

Not critics. Not journalists. Not industry insiders. Just fans doing the homework.

The podcast is the heart. The articles go deeper than a podcast can. The website is where it all lives.

Come hang out.

Co-founder and co-host. Veteran. Strong writer. Sharp eye for the details nobody else notices. Calm voice when the room gets loud. The kind of fan who can quote the scene, name the director, and tell you who else was in the cast without looking it up.

Co-founder and co-host. Veteran. Grew up on cartoons. The MCU brought all of it back and pulled him into the comics side he never picked up as a kid. Curious by default. Passionate without needing to prove anything. Good at holding a conversation.
