Hosted by Shawn Pryor and co-hosts Jon Carroll and Donny Salvo
The PKD Black Box is a four-time Parsec Nominated podcast that has pop-culture media reviews, round table discussions & interviews with creators from all types of mediums (comic books, film, animation, etc). Tangents & comedy sometimes ensue as well.
The PKD Black Box is also home to the topical Carroll Chronicles, hosted by Jon Carroll, and the comedic Tales from the Attic where host Donny Salvo leaps into his massive long-boxes of comics and tells you about a comic book in his own special way. Imagine it as MST3K meets Comic Books.

On this weeks show I talk about artist Mike Norton’s upcoming comic “The Curse,” and then Donny Salvo of the Reality Wasted Podcast returns as we discuss what comics we’ve been reading. Donny tells you why Classic G.I. Joe (Vol. 6) is the best TPB ever, I somehow find a way to compare comics to the incredible MC Lyte, and we lightly debate on how an artist can kill a book you love in an instance.
Enjoy. -Shawn aka Stan Leeroy.
