nerdy, and geeky have been embraced like it is today," said Tony Kim,
Crazy 4 Comic Con host. "While the pop culture universe expands, our
con culture comes closer together. Thanks to this new initiative by
Wizard World called CON Radio. We will be like the Avengers of radio!…

our voices. Check us out, the world is depending on you!"
