About this listen

Danielle talks about moving up the ranks at 95.9 The River out in the Chicago suburbs and some strange run-in's with listeners. Roses given, feet pics requested were all part of the gig that she didn't know she was signing up for!

JP and Danielle talk about the amazing comic, Saga by Brian K. Vaughan (writer), Fiona Staples (artist). Saga is set in a vast universe where two warring races—the technologically advanced Landfallians (with wings) and the magic-wielding Wreath (with horns) have turned their home worlds conflict into a galaxy-spanning war. Though Landfall and Wreath can't risk destroying each other directly, their war wages on countless other planets and moons, dragging in outsiders and mercenaries. You get to read the story as it unfolds while the main character Hazel (daughter of Alana and Marko) narrates as the crew is always on the run.

Comics.FM delves both into the comic but also the radio career of the guest. Danielle talks about getting into radio and how it can wear you down over the years, especially when you are a good solider and say yes to everything without complaints. In her longtime role at 95.9 The Riever, eventually, even the best team player can feel it's the right time to move onto a new adventure.

Danielle and JP talk about the "On" and "Off" switches that radio people have when meeting listeners or being out in public and how it could be vastly different experiences than what you hear over the airwaves. Tufano also gets into why there is an extra layer of uncomfortable than happens being a female personality on the radio and using her real name.

As a superhero, she would be Flygirl, but not the dancing kind, put possibly in a tracksuit regardless.

Danielle talks about interviewing Jeremy Renner, Gary Sinese, and Mark McGrath and why it's important to stick to the script. When the band Lit asks you to get alcohol - keep the change Plus she gets an offer she can't refuse, but did refuse from Gene Simmons!

It's like Hot Ones but instead of wings, it's comics, and instead of licking saucy fingers, Danielle gets into licking toes and elbows!
