We’ve got a big menu of topics on this weekend’s GeekWire radio show and podcast, starting with a discussion of the latest changes at Facebook and Netflix, and what they’ll mean for users of those two services.
From there, we debate Microsoft’s decision to make an example of one of its (now former) employees over a series of tweets about an upcoming Windows Phone from Nokia.
Then we bring in two guests for a discussion of the comic book landscape: Matthew Southworth, the Seattle-based artist who illustrates the Stumptown comic books and William Katt, who played the The Greatest American Hero in the popular TV series in the 1980s, in addition to roles in Carrie and many other productions. (Both are appearing at today’s Jet City Comic Show in Seattle.)
In our final segment, we give the answer to last week’s Name that Tech Tune Challenge and serve up a new one, with a chance to win a hardcover copy of Stumptown Vol. 1, signed by both of our guests.
