I was looking for a couple new comic book themed podcasts and came across this one with a search via instacast. I like the different themes as I don't need another comic podcast the gives more reviews. I like the focused nature of this one and really enjoyed the best of type lists as I am always...Read full review »

Been listening for about a year now. love the show. I like the single host aspect, its definitely rare with comic podcassts. welcome back, and keep it up

The production is flat which typically would not be an issue, but as there is no cohost, interstitial music, sound clips, and what-have-you the show easily recedes into the background as the host's delivery is quite monotone. Additionally, the emphasis is largely on Marvel and DC titles, not to...Read full review »

....... But the host's voice is so painfully monotone, it's just exhausting to listen to for more than 10 minutes.

I gave this podcast a real shot, listening to ten episodes, but James Harris hasn't been able to hold me as a listener, and his review of Man of Steel ended my listening run. it isn't just that I disagree with Harris' take on Man of Steel but that the episode highlights the drawbacks of the...Read full review »

Very professional and engaging comic book podcast. One of my favorite shows about comics!
George Khoury via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/05/12
James has an honest tone and vibe that most other comic podcasts don't quite get. He's knowledgable about comics and I always get what I come for: talk about comics, not 20 minutes of my podcast wasted with dudes laughing at their in-jokes. Sure, he could use more prep work sometimes, but 9...Read full review »

I listened to the two latest casts. One was dedicated to comic book ANIMATION. The second was dedicated to the Thor MOVIE. Hey James, do you actually talk about comic books themselves? You know, the little books that resemble magazines and have art, word bubbles, cheezy advertisements, etc. in...Read full review »

James is a fantastic host that you know truly cares about the topic he is covering. He is so laid back and just wants to share all the knowledge that he has. I look forward to it each and every week. Plus he has this new show The F Bomb Cast Man this has been called the Raunchiest and Vilest...Read full review »

Each episode of this podcast is improving. The earlier episodes of the show were done without editing and the host has adapted editing into the formats, which are getting very good. The host is very knowledgable about the comic book industry and does a good variety of DC, Independent, and Marvel...Read full review »
Rebecca_OH via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/07/08
This is a well made podcast. It is done in a very casual way, giving one the impression that they are just sitting around with a good friend, talking comics, movies and other pop culture. It focuses more on comics than anything else, though. James knows his comics and has opened my eyes to...Read full review »

I find the Comic Book Savant to be a great podcast. There is an honesty to the podcast. James is just one man and a mic giving his opinion on comics. He is not trying to be a professional radio personality. He is just being himself. This is the democracy of podcasting. You don't have to...Read full review »
Postma via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/23/08
I'm not sure how long I've listened to the Savant, but it's been a while now. Yes, James is monotone in his delivery and he says "um" a lot, but who doesn't? That doesn't take away from the fact that he consistently delivers thoughtful commentary on comic books. I may not always agree with his...Read full review »
Spectre 65 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/08
Where did he come from? How does he rate his stuff...I can tell you, that James is a dedicated comic book fan. He is consistant and shows a true passion for what he does. I value his thoughts and look forward to his reviews. James may not be a masked man, but he is superman when it comes to...Read full review »

This guys has his heart in the right place, but I'm 90% sure he's a ****ing robot. I've been listening for a while but I try to avoid it at work because his freakin monotone voice lulls me to sleep. Dude, maybe you should get a co-host or something. Again, I like the show. It feels like your...Read full review »

I've been listening to a few comic podcast, and I must say that this one is by far the best. I look forward to each and every episode, they are very informative and very easy to listen to.....kinda makes you feel like your sitting around with a bunch of friends. So what are you waiting for and...Read full review »
Captain Prophesy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/11/07
A fantastic show about comics that makes you feel like you are part of the Savant family. James encourages participation and provides valuable insight without spoiling the books. You cant ask for a better host or topics.
Mike Myers via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/07/07
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to get to know more about comics. Candid, well thought-out, and very knowledgeable discussion and reviews. I am learning a LOT from this podcast and have discovered some awesome comic titles as a result. 5 stars!
Juster. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/04/07
he does a nice job of giving you all of the reasons that he liked or dislike a comic, and brings up some nice points why the story was succesful or unsuccesful. Probably my favorite solo comics podcast. Very informative and entertaining.Read full review »
darthdad via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/26/07
I have listened to probably 15 of the podcasts and find James refreshing....in a podfield(is that a word) that seems to rely on comedy or casts of thousands talking or yelling over each other...the Comic Book Savant is a refreshing breath of air. It is not just the new comics that get...Read full review »
Reddjack via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/07
I enjoy how he has a very relaxed vocie and he's not yelling/shouting every few seconds.I also enjoy his monthly tradeback choices.He also very grateful toward his listeners and enjoys what he does.
Tig13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/07
I enjoy James' relaxed, conversational delivery of his opinions and feelings about a hobby he obviously loves. Listening to the Comic Book Savant is almost like chatting with a friend about your favorite comics.
Dan Z via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/06
This is a really different show from Around Comics or CGS, which I also listen to. Just one guy, shooting you straight about his opinion on various comics, with nobody cackling at their own jokes and pretending to be on the Howard Stern show. Other podcasts already have that covered, and this is...Read full review »
Black Umbrella via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/05/06
Unlike some podcasts out there, James doesn't seem like he's auditioning for a radio gig that will never happen. He doesn't try to be snarky or condescending. What he does is gives his honest opinion about comic books and the industry. He does so with a great level of enthusiasm and genuine...Read full review »
Derek Coward via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/06
I enjoy every episode of this show. The topics are often selected by the listeners and really give an insight into not only what the host thinks about current books and issues facing the industry, but what listeners are thinking as well. The first episode of "Trade Your Pick," a TPB-review show,...Read full review »
