[edit] Audio Podcast

The Audio Podcast, also known as the iFanboy.com Pick of the Week Podcast, is where the iFanboys tell you the best books that they have read that week and answer listener e-mail and voicemail. It usually begins with an iFanboy informing you that you are listening to the iFanboy.com Pick of the Week podcast and then the episode number. This is followed by a music selection and a brief introduction of what iFanboy is. Each week one of the iFanboys picks a comic book and then they talk about that book and other books that came out that week. After the "Pick of the Week" section, they answer e-mail and voicemail and wrap up the show. Exceptions to this format are Special Edition Episodes, which include Creator Interview, Movie Review, or Year End Wrap-Ups. As of May 11th, 2008, 132 Regular Episodes have been produced.[5]

[edit] Video Podcast

The iFanboy Video Podcast is totally different from the audio podcast. It is produced by Revision3 and stars the same 3 iFanboys, but also occasionally features Gordon "the Intern". In the video show, the iFanboys discuss whatever they want. They read viewer e-mail, have creator interviews, go to Comic Conventions, respond to voicemail, talk about a specific creator or line of books or series, etc.

[edit] iFanboy Mini

iFanboy Mini is a short video podcast released every weekday, in the style of Tekzilla Daily and Lil' Internet Superstar, in which the iFanboys answer questions, make recommendations, highlight the shipping lists, talk about the Pick of the Week, or anything else they can think of. It is only a few minutes long, like the other daily Revision3 shows.
