Have you ever wondered what exactly is the Swamp Thing, or if humanity could actually survive a real alien/zombie invasion?
If you have, then you might be glad to know that those questions will finally be answered, thanks to the highly anticipated return of the much-beloved Issue Zero podcast.
For the first time, on Corus Entertainment’s very own Curiouscast network, the ultimate bi-weekly guide to all things geeky — hosted by popular radio personality, comic book creator and tattooed Jedi master extraordinaire Fearless Fred (Fred Kennedy) — is making a comeback.
From the longstanding history of comic books, to the myths and mysteries behind beloved Marvel and DC superheroes, to the deepest depths of the sci-fi genre, Fearless Fred is going to explore all of the things that may have once gotten you beaten up in school, but now put you on top of the food chain of popularity.
Debuting with two all-new episodes on Tuesday, Nov. 12, Issue Zero is going to kick things off with a deep dive into the background and lore behind Disney‘s upcoming live-action Star Wars series, The Mandalorian.

While Fearless Fred currently serves as an afternoon drive host for Toronto’s Rock Station, Q107, his heart lives inside fan culture.
In Issue Zero, the excitable host will prove his extensive passion and knowledge for all things geeky by taking his listeners on an insightful journey using a variety of anecdotes, as well as interviews with celebrities, creators and sci-fandom extraordinaires.
Throughout his career as a television host, rock radio enthusiast and memorabilia collecter, he has covered and thrived at the worldwide spectacle known as San Diego Comic-Con, Toronto’s highly attended Fan Expo — which he has attended almost every year since its launch — and a variety of other conventions.
The host had this to say on the Issue Zero podcast: “Seriously. It’s really good, you guys.”
“There is no simply no denying the power of superhero and sci-fi fan culture,” said Chris (Dunner) Duncombe, director of streaming and podcasting for Corus Entertainment.
“Issue Zero takes you inside the characters, movies and stories we all love from Star Wars, to the Avengers, to Lord of the Rings and back. We at Curiouscast are so excited for people to hear this new show.”
