Josh on a Roll
Josh as Apostle BGJosh Robert Thompson has surpassed both his initial $25,000 goal and a $30,000 stretch goal on his indiegogo.com page, raising money for his self-titled television variety show. There is still time to donate and get some great perks, as he aims for another stretch goal of $60,000. Meanwhile, Josh has issued a new episode of his Joshin’ Around podcast, to bring everyone up to date on what he’s been working on over the past several months. Blogger Mark Evanier also had nice things to say about Josh’s project.

Nerdy TalkCapaldi and Hardwick
Recently at the San Diego ComicCon, the @Nerdist Chris Hardwick interviewed the current Doctor from Doctor Who, Peter Capaldi. Promoting the show, they tweeted some audio of Peter and Craig performing in their band The Dreamboys. Later, the RSA’s @iknowjojo joined the conversation on Twitter, to let the @Nerdist folks know about her comic featuring Peter and Craig:

@NerdistDotCom @CraigyFerg @MattDelhauer You’ve all read the Ferguson/Capaldi Doctor Who comic, right? iknowjojo.com/craigcomicep1.… (Peter has).

They responded to say they really liked it:

@iknowjojo @CraigyFerg @MattDelhauer omgomgomg! LOVE.
