tSionainnKiller interview with Kelly ThompsonExcellent interview with Kelly. I'm a huge fan and really enjoyed this. Love when you do these dedicated episodes. I want that Black Widow vs Scarlet story.
-
connor overbay from podOne of the best in the game!Shout out to badr and his team for putting out such an amazing podcast every week. You can really tell he does take his time to research the topics. You can also tell that he absolutely loves podcasting. Keep killing it every week, I can’t wait to listen to your next episode!

Icyhot RenAn amazing podcast for comic loversThe Short Box podcast happens to be from Jax, FL, which is awesome because I happen to be from there and not a lot of things I know of happen to be from Jax which is Amazing! But, It’s an amazing podcast for talk or information on many comic books, some events, and such topics. This includes interviews with people who inspired such pop culture topics or even some comic artists! Even this podcast is great for me! I’m a big fan of Batman, Spider-Man, Shazam and more and I would love to know more all the time so I really appreciate podcasts like this! It’s a great podcast and I especially love that it’s for those who are all sorts of fans, from new to comics and those who already know all of the lore! It’s dope! I’m someone who has a few Batman comics, a few deadpool things but it doesn’t mean at all that I don’t love them! I even cosplay the Joker! I’m definitely going to listen to the short box podcast way more often now!
-
Ancient City JeffStop. Subscribe. Listen!This is the best comic book pod on the airwaves. I started collecting comics in the 1970’s and have listened to many pods that haven’t stood the test of time. The Short Box is different. Badr is the most amazing host, the other guys and gal that hop in and out of the episodes are great as well. Their knowledge, passion and love for comics is evident and I look forward to this pod every week!
-
Nick"OldMan"WagnerA must for comicbook loversThis podcast has really hit its stride! Long story short, it’s the best comic culture podcast in the world! Badr, Cesar, Ed, and Ashley (and sometimes Drew and Walter) pretty much all aspects of comic culture are discussed at some point. Comics, movies, tv series, books, animated series, they hit it all! The champion season portion at the end of every show is particularly good because it's always turning me on to some nerd culture fare that I haven't found yet. They keep me in the know, and now YOU know.
-
howiseverynametak3nBest comic book podcastIt's pretty simple, this is the best comic book and pop culture podcast you'll find anywhere. I've been listening now for almost 4 years and been a patron member for the last year. Badr Is the hardest working man in the industry and leads a stellar crew starring Ashely, Cesar, and Ed. The camaraderie amongst the crew is always top tier. I highly recommend the artist spotlight episodes as they are the best of the best. Hasta la próxima.
-
Thedude1369Greatest Pod this side of the Galaxy.Great podcast. Show is entertaining and more than just comic books. I’ve definitely expanded my pop culture collection because of Badr and the whole shortbox crew. Give it a listen. If it's not your thing….. blame me.
-
PermagamerGreatness Inside A Short BoxBadr and the rest of the Short Box Crew are a BLAST to listen to. Incredible comic breakdowns with tons of humor, heart and phenomenal recommendations. A must listen for any comic fan
-
ckgeekmamaOne of the only podcasts I listen toI don’t listen to a lot of podcasts, but when I do, I listen to the Short Box. I enjoyed being on the show years ago, and they must be doing something right since they are still around. They cover a broad range of pop culture geeky goodness so I recommend checking them out if you like that sort of thing :)
-
Logan ZKeeps getting better!Badr and his rotating team of experts continue to impress and entertain me every show! You can tell they have done their research before each episode and bring a level of professionalism & expertise that is greatly appreciated. Some of my personal favorite ShortBox podcasts are the recent DIsney+ MCU episode breakdowns and Patreon-driven topics.
-
Kat Nerdy MomA New FavoriteInsightful and well organized, the team of the shortbox cover the latest news on comics and various fandom with commentary that is candid yet knowledgeable. It’s like hanging out with all your nerdy friends talking about what you love but they came with the facts! Working in the medical field, my life has been hectic and I definitely don’t have time to read or game like I want to but The Shortbox has fit into the few free moments of my life and has been a great way to keep me informed and connected to the things that brighten my day.

Boomtown ReviewerSimply the Best!This podcast is better than all the rest when it comes to comics and pop culture. You’ll never miss a beat when Badr, Cesar, Ed, and the mistress of Mirth Ashley chop it up on a regular basis. Excelsior!!!
-
ChicagodiabloReally fun to listen toExtremely knowledgeable and passionate folks. Enjoyed listening to the discussion, and will be back for more insights!
-
MCSamaVIIFan 4 LyfeBeen listening to SBX for at least 5 years now. Didn’t come in with any comic experience but stayed for the camaraderie of the cast. In this time they’ve greatly improved on weekly comic updates, hosted events of various sizes, dipped their legs into creator and character history, and have gotten insanely deep into interviewing respected comic creators. Their wide-spread content is an inspiration to be more open-minded about the medium. Their local events are a motivation to meet others in the same boat. ❤️
-
ODPH607Take a listen!Check this podcast out! The hosts keep you locked in with great takes & solid information. Always a fun listen each time out! #ODPH
-
Gudell S.Thank youA local podcast that highlights everything in pop culture and brings comic fans to the forefront. I can’t thank them enough for what they give to the universe, growing up I didn’t know much about comics outside of movies due to no exposure to them about 3 years ago I got introduced to this podcast and they’ve been a stepping stone in my life. Shortbox nation stand up!
-
HYDRABERGShortbox Rocks!These boys and girls know some comics. They bring a close friend vibe that most pop culture comic related casts can’t touch. The banter and jokes make me laugh every time. I love the segments and their artist spotlights as well as the special television show/movie episodes. They have constantly put me on to some great books. In a sea of comics it’s nice to have people with great recommendations. If you enjoy comics talk that’s not taken super serious, but is legit then this is your cast. Make mine a Shortbox!
-
BrotherBiscuitsAMERICA’S #1 Comicbook Podcast!I used to read comic books regularly until about high school and didn’t become interested again until the Marvel Movies launched. However, as good as they were, it wasn’t enough to fully get my butt in gear. The Shortbox Podcast has single handedly changed that! The whole crew is extremely witty, insightful, and just plain fun to listen to. Their chemistry is unmatched and their connection to comic scene and their local community is top tier. Just give them a listen! Promise within one episode you too, will also #makemineshortbox 🙂 — “Keep it Geeky!”
-
AbatmansymbolGOALSWhen I first started podcasting I had a lot of heat in my ear about these folks from Short Box and boy were they right. I have a lot to live up to and a lot to learn. These guys (and gal) are funny, intelligent, and all around just a great time to listen to. #DUUUUVVAAAAALLLLL
-
gamiapOdin Approved!I'm glad there's a comic book and pop culture podcast that represents Jacksonville. I enjoy listening to the show at five in the morning when I’m at work. I appreciate the fact that not only do you guys geek out to comic book culture but you also deep-dive into the content as well, from various themes and narrative to the art styles within the pages. Thanks to the early-access shows on Patreon there’s more content to listen to during the god-awful early morning hours. Keep up the good work!
-
Josh from St Aug300!Great show for many years! Stay geeky!
-
TStacey30EXCELSIOR!!This is the podcast you’re looking for!! The Short Box crew gets it done every time. Whether it’s discussing movies, tv, comic or gaming, the show is fun, witty and all-around entertaining. They dive deep into all things pop culture and you’ll be hard pressed to find another podcast that does it better!
-
Trey NamoShort Box NationThis podcast Is a great example of how amazing the nerd and pop culture scene in Jacksonville Florida is. They highlight everything from local artist to main stream media. Highly recommend giving them a listen#ShortBoxNation #KeepitGeeky🔥🔥
-
Jim MullisGreat local show!!I found the short box in a facebook group for Jacksonville podcasts. I have a podcast and am always interested in finding other local shows! I used to be into comics way more, but now These guys are giving me a resurgence of interest in the comic world! Thanks, Jim Kitchen table discussions
-
RominaRowKudos for the podcastI run into this podcast at TEDx FSCJ event and have to say kudos to you guys. Refreshing and awesome podcast. Glad I came across your show !
-
Erik SladerMake Mine Short Box!I've been listening to these guys (and Ashley) since the early days and they never dissapoint! My go to source for comic book and pop culture commentary. Between their live shows, amazing guests, movie reviews, champion season, and show recaps, this crew delivers!
-
DaveBondFLGreat Local PodcastBadr and the guys (and Ashley) are the most knowledgeable comic people I have heard on a podcast yet. And they’re local to Jax! If you can get past the constant overuse of the words “yo”, “like”, “word”, and “dope” then you will love these guys and their funny banter and depth of knowledge of all things comic related. Excellent work.
-
DeftStrokeBest of JacksonvilleThe only gripe I have with the crew of the Short Box is that they have ruined other podcasts for me. This was the first cast I ever listened to and I judge every podcast against it. I highly recommend listening on the way to work, on the treadmill, or at work during down time. The information is great in spotlight episodes and every time the crew gets together it reminds me of all the nerd conversations I’ve had with my friends in my own life. 5 stars on yelp. Would eat here again.

MasochismThe Bees KneesI am not a fan of podcasts. Not because I don't like them, just because I don't have time to track them down. This podcast is worth the effort. I have all episodes downloaded and listen to them while I paint in my studio. Thanks fam, for bringing up the street cred of Jacksonville and keeping a beat on all things nerdy. This is the podcast we need, not the podcast we deserve. Keep being awesome. Cheers.
-
Jojo_3663It's worth a listen and every starThis is by far the best podcast for all things nerdy and fanboys.
-
IngonzowetrustJacksonville's best podcastThis is a must listen to podcast if you are a fan of comic books, movies, games and music. So just sit back and relax and get ready to laugh and get your nerd on. "The struggle is real!"
-
B@ssF@natickFunniest geek speak everI'm subscribed to a bunch of geek related podcasts but this ones by far the most entertaining. Love the cast!
-
jadelefantPerfect even for novices!My first time hearing the show I was lucky enough to sit in and listen to it live. I've never been big on comics so I honestly thought I would only hear them out for at least 15 mins--but an hour and then some later I was still glued to my seat! The show's energy, undeniable humor, and ability to reach out to such a wide variety of audiences is nothing short of admirable. Check em out, you won't regret it!
-
cartoonistaaronAs fun to listen to as it is to be a guest!I can't believe I never wrote up a review for the podcast, and I'm a regular listener! I had a ton of fun being on the show to talk up my indie comic (and I really enjoyed the Hawkman action figure that was bestowed upon me). But more than that, the show is a ton of fun to listen to! I have it on while I'm drawing and it's always a great listen!
-
Ricky KentRating says it allFull disclosure: I was a guest on the show, so there might be a level of bias in this. I was thoroughly surprised at how much I enjoyed being a part of the podcast. Badr actually knows what he's doing behind the soundboard, and all the guys actually read comics. I know that sounds like an obvious compliment, but you'd be surprised at how many people talk about comics and only keep themselves inside the box of DC or Marvel. While yes, that stuff is great, comics are expanding in such different creative directions that's important for people to highlight a variety of books when they talk about them. And that's exactly what these guys do.
-
alanni1Nerdy, comical awesomnessI love this podcast. I listen to it while I work from home. The hosts and guests always have a great rhythm and mesh together well. And it's funny. Has anyone mentioned it's funny yet? It's really funny.
-
EdeatworldGreat show!Keep up the good work guys!
