SDConCast - The Official Podcast of the San Diego Comic-Con Unofficial Blog

The SDCCBlog Team - SDCC 2013

Sadly, San Diego Comic-Con 2013 is over, but the team re-lives the most memorable moments from this year's convention. Hear our biggest surprises, regrets, disappointments, and our top ten moments from SDCC 2013.

This is also our last SDConCast for 2013. We'll be back again in Spring 2014 with all the news, insight and analysis on San Diego Comic-Con. In the meantime, we'll be posting news on the pre-registration for 2014, as well as some other goodies in store to get us through the Fall and Winter months, so make sure you keep reading and following us!

Lastly, thanks to all of our readers, listeners and watchers for a banner year. We're already looking to one-up ourselves in 2014, to give you the most comprehensive coverage of San Diego Comic-Con 2014, anywhere.

We'll embed the live feed in this post just prior to broadcast at 9:30PM ET/6:30PM PT. We'll also post the link on Twitter and Facebook. You can leave comments for us live on the broadcast's YouTube page. See you then!

Today we bring you a very special episode - our interview with David Glanzer, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Comic-Con International. You know, the organization that is responsible for all the awesomeness that is San Diego Comic-Con? We ask him our readers' most pressing questions: Why the badge giveaway? When will the programming schedule be released? Why do shows like Castle not make the cut? And more.

David doesn't only just work for CCI, he's a fan just like the rest of us. So rest assured that he's looking out for all of us in making this year's convention the best ever.

After listening to this interview, we're sure you'll agree. We thank David and the CCI staff for making this interview possible.
