Welcome to The Mutant Season! Gil, your host, is a comic book, zombie, alien, scary movie loving nine year old who interviews adults with cool jobs and talks about stuff that he likes!
For the premiere episode of The Mutant Season, Gil invites DC comic book writer Scott Lobdell on the show to talk about comic books. And some other stuff.
This is amazing. I’ve been a nerdist fan for a while now and have started checking out the other podcasts here and this is now one of my favorites.
Action Comics number 1 came out in June 1938. At the start Superboy was a clone of Superman and the director of Cadmus. They changed it to Lex Luthor for no real reason. Other than that this was good.
holy crap, Gil is so adorable!!! and so well spoken for a 9 year old. this is going to be an awesome podcast! Go Gil!!
Scott Lobdell is my favorite comic book writer of all time!
This rocked! Can’t wait for the next one. Nice work Gil.
Gil loves math, sciences and kid. He’s so awesome. I want my kid to listen to this how. Kudos to Nerdist for making something like this that is for kids. Nerd stuff starts with the fun of being a kid, the fun NPR style makes this perfect. Scott Lobdell, so jealous and happy for him to meet Scott.
Bravo!
You fans are awesome and your going to love the next episode. Thanks for listening.

This kid is adorable, and a great comics fan. It’s really impressive that he can handle hosting a podcast. Great freakin’ job! 🙂
Gil is the man.
This gave me diabetes.
THANKS NERDIST!
Gil, great great job! I loved it!!
Great job, kiddo. If it was another older person white male comicbook podcast, I would have quit early on. Fresh perspective letting everything come out of a child (no offense on young Gil).
ps: Adults: stop messing with the kid XD. I feel bad for laughing. Great job Moe (Mo?), Katie and guest Scott.
Wow. Talking comics with pros would have been my 9-year-old self’s dream job!!! This is oddly not as weird as I thought it would be…
So fun. How often will there be new episodes coming out? My children listened with us and want a play date with Gil. Congrats on this find NERDIST.
Amanda said it best in the first comment: freaking adorable.
Gil! You’re a natural. Do you think Mia will get her own podcast soon??? XOXXOOXXOXOXOO
HA-DO-KEN!!!!!!
Great job Gil! Keep it up
This kid is awesome!
Hopefully an iTunes link can show up soon?
Okay, so who’s idea was it to give a 9 year old a freakin’ podcast? ‘Cause whoever it was deserves a big smooch on the cheek. I’d be willing to do it, even if it was a dude, but I’m on the opposite side of the continent in another country. But if they ever visit Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada I’d do it. GO GIL!!
Hey, DC Comics, listen up. This is the market you keep talking about wanting with all your “T” rated 52 reboot comics.
Nice job, Gil. 🙂
Ahhh, finally a podcast that lets me vent both my pedophilia and zombiephilia.
I jest, but this was a pleasant surprise, huge props to you Gil!
Holy crap this is awesome.
Freaking adorable. That is all.
