Guest Hosts: Elaine Ramshaw & Sara Santiago Honk! Start rubbing goose eggs on your head, it's another episode, covering this strange story, one of Barks' few adventure comics that passes the Bechdel Test! It's got everything, Magica DeSpell, Ratface, the Beagle Boys, and a character that's a clear stand-in for Little Bo-Peep (?!).…

Guest Host: Morten Guldberg | Listeners, all's fair in love and archaeology! Listen as my guest and I discuss the true, National Geographic-derived Mayan culture behind this treasure hunting story, discuss who is the story's biggest heel, and make some cool discoveries, befitting a story of an archaeological expedition!…

Guest Host: Markku Mujunen | Get ready to revisit another appearance of Magica DeSpell! I contend this may be the MOST Magica of all her appearances. Join us, as we discuss the story that may have the greatest Magica sequence of all time!

Guest Host: Geoff Moses {aka GeoX, of Duck Comics Revue} Grab an ice cream soda, and join us, listeners, as we discuss this zany, Beagle-focused Barks story! This early 60s mystery is slight, but still great fun.

Guest Host: Bucket Think Tank | Listeners, if you are looking for a podcast that can also act as a status symbol, well...that would be pretty weird. But this is a great episode, where we get to talk about the concept of status, compare this story to its Ducktales adaptation and more!

Guests: Bill Wormstedt & Tom Wormstedt | Listener, can we interest you in the personal jewels of the goddess Athena? How about a episode of the podcast covering another ridiculous Magica De Spell scheme? Journey with us to the Mediterranean, as the ducks follow in the footsteps of Odysseus, only to encounter a modern-day Circe!…

Guest host: Suzanne Snow Severino | Happy Valentines Day! Let's spend it talking about Barks' "slinky sorceress" Magica De Spell in only the second story (and first ten-pager) she is featured in! "Ten-Cent Valentine" is a light story, but a great show case of the sorceress and an amazing time capsule of the early 1960s!…

Guest Host: Nils Lid Hjort | Brew a nice cup of nutmeg tea, listeners, and join us as we discuss Carl Barks' Amazonian-set adventure, "a Spicy Tale." This story let Barks poke some gentle fun at the U.S. Peace Corps, and adds a bit of flavor to Scrooge's character, in the form of a weakness (addiction?) to Nutmeg Tea!…

Guest Host: Elaine Ramshaw | YEEEEEEK! Magic DeSpell is back, and so are the Beagles, in this classic and farcical Scrooge adventure! Join us as we talk about breaking glass, the brief existence of Tanganyika, Dr. Seussian character design and much more!

For Canon Sake has officially returned

Guest Host: Thad Komorowski | Merry Christmas from Barks Remarks and...Your Firestone Dealers and Stores?? This Christmas themed episode takes a look at the five 8-pagers holiday stories that Barks did that were released as giveaways through Firestone tire stores! These are fun bits of ephemera, including "Best Christmas," "Santa's Stormy Visit," T…

Guest: Alberto Becattini | Listeners, we are finally at the episode where we get to discuss Barks' last great character creation, the fan favorite Italian sorceress Magica De Spell! My guest Alberto is Italian himself, and the author of a book on Disney comics! In addition to discussing Magica and the story herself, we also take some time to discus…

Guest Host: Mikkel Hagen Listeners, join us as we go back to the Klondike (again!), but with Gladstone Gander in tow this time! During this special episode I let Mikkel take the reins for a story I know very little about going in. Listen as we discuss the sourdough competition, Scrooge's (not-so?) tall tales, and more!…

Guest: Nils Lid Hjort Welcome to a very special episode! We are discussing one of Barks' Gyro Gearloose stories, one that the Duck Man abandoned in roughly 1958 or 1959, after penciling just 3 pages. The editors later assigned Don Rosa to provide his take on a complete story, published in 1990. Dutch comics legend Daan Jippes would also take on the…

Guest Host: Orion Trunk | Happy Halloween! For our episode this year, we are cover two spooky "mini-adventures." "Hound" is a 7 page take on Scottish heritage and modern art, while "Bongo" focuses on the challenges of running Scrooge's far-flung businesses, with an eerie mystery in Central Africa, involving a tribe with a disconcerting name and mis…

Guest Host: Harry Fluks | Hold on to the ground, listeners! Lest ye be blown away to Valhalla! Not the mythic afterlife, but the weird planet the ducks encounter in this deeply strange early 60s Barks adventure! My guest Harry Fluks helps me discuss the story, its weird mash-up of different mythologies, and somewhat jarring excision of some of Bark…

Guest Host: Ruben Olsrud Listeners, join us down the ant hole as we pursue Scrooge's shrunken bin AND dime, in this simultaneously goofy and eerie sci-fi story! We'll make some time to talk about "THE" fan letter that dragged Barks out of obscurity, other pop culture instances of shrinking, and much more!…

Guest Host: Veikko Suvanto | Listeners, we've got a couple of Barks' most educational stories here! First, a story centering Huey, Dewey, & Louie that is basically a textbook "Train A & Train B" math problem turned into an exciting narrative! Then, the story my guest and I are most excited about, Barks' story that is really an excuse to explore the…

Guest Host: Morten Guldberg | Fancy dredging a swamp and building a city, listeners? Uncle Scrooge does, in this Florida-set adventure, told in flashback form to none other than Grandma Duck! Even though Barks isn't interested in writing an existential piece of pseudo-horror; my guest and I have a good time discussing the disturbing ramifications o…

Guest Host: Warren Harmon | Well, crack it on, on a big skiute, to me hoodah! Whatever that means, listeners, it's time to get your sea shanty on, with Scrooge, the ducks, and the Beagle Boys, "All at Sea!" My guest and I have a great conversation about trading rats, newly independent countries, and the difficulty of hiring a good worrier!…

Guest Host: Elaine Ramshaw | Hello, big operators! We've got a Sahara desert set story to feature today, and a woefully underappreciated Barks adventure that focuses on business development, honor, and what it really means to be a Big Operator!

Guest Host: Geoffrey Moses aka GeoX Hello listeners! We've got a great, sci-fi themed episode, with weirdly futuristic version of Duckburg! Join us as we talk about Duckburgian technology, the ducks' accidental near-genocide, and what it's like to have paradise just out of reach!

Guest Host: Alban Leloup | Happy Christmas in July, listeners! Join us as we discuss what is probably Barks' least-great Christmas "adventure," albeit still an enjoyable one. Technically this one is Barks' art-only, with Bob Gregory turning in the story. We'll discuss greeting cards, the origin of the Cha Cha, and much more!…

Guest Hosts: Mikkel Hagen & Ruben Olsrud | Listeners, this story is Barks' third "hiding money in nature" story (along with Only a Poor Old Man & the Money Well) and it may not be the best of the three, but it is highly entertaining, with a great hook in the machine itself! My guests and I discuss the machine, the various Paul Bunyan legends from a…

Guest Hosts: Dan Cunningham & Ted Johansson | Listeners, don't betray your old mothers' fondest hopes: give this episode a listen, as we discuss the return of iconic Barks villain Flintheart Glomgold! Or is it Goldflint Heartglom? At any rate, join us as we discuss this second of Scrooge's money-measuring competitions, the real-life Jivaro Indian t…

Guest Host: Patrick Block | Bing! You're Hypnotized! Listener, you are now a devoted podcast listener! And what better than checking out this episode of the Ten-Page Podcast, in which a credulous Donald is hypnotized by a child's toy! Give the episode a listen to hear us talk about whether the hypno-gun is *really* a toy, the great name "Rockjaw Bu…

Guest Hosts: Austin Kelly & Bucket Think Tank | Listeners, this is a pretty unusual episode. First, we're covering a story that I consider to be Barks' absolute weakest adventure-length story, Jungle Hi-Jinks. However, Barks himself didn't do the writing: officially the writer is unknown, but my suspicion is that Western Publishing regular Vic Lock…

Guest Hosts: Austin Kelly & Bucket Think Tank The Prize of Pizarro is a classic Scrooge & the ducks treasure hunt, set in the Andes (again!) with an unusual structure: the ducks are never aware of the antagonists of the story, the isolated Incas that have guarded the mines of the Incas for hundreds of years! Join us as we talk about this unusual st…

Guest Hosts: Patrick Block & Morten Guldberg Ahoy, listeners! Barks is back to the high seas, in this iconic, late 1950s Scrooge adventure! This story involves the ducks' inadvertent search for the legendary ship, the Fliegende Hollander, known in English as the Flying Dutchman! We talk about this uniquely meandering story, which sees the ducks in …

Guest Host: Alban Leloup Listeners, this episode is quite packed and fascinating, despite being one of Barks' less-remembered Christmas stories (and in fact, being written not by Barks, but by Bob Gregory). My guest and I talk about the contributions of Barks' wife Gare', the great one-off character Ollie Eiderduck, cross-linguistic puns and the di…

Guest Host: Geoff Moses Listeners, grab your welding torches, gold paint, and don't forget your box of dirt! We're getting set to blast off into space, in a race to be the first to the Twenty-Four Carat Moon! Join us as we talk about Barks' roster of tycoon competitors, parallels to the actual space race, and the weird and poignant conclusion that …

Guest Host: Dan Cunningham Welcome to the space age, listeners! In this special episode we subvert things a bit, as Dan takes the lead in this pseudo-live experiment. Somehow "the Forbidium Money Bin" is one of just two Barks (adventure) stories I've never read before, so you can hear me experience it for the first time! And what a weird story this…

Guest Host: Orion Trunk Avast, listeners! This episode features one of Barks' several nautical themed stories, set again in the Pacific Northwest! My guest and I discuss the industrious Beagle Boys, variable comic book coloring, and learn a bit along the way about the history of Chanel perfume, plastic gloves, and more!…

Guest Host: Geoff Moses (aka GeoX) Listeners, it's time to earn a new merit badge, and hopefully become promoted to N.E.R.D.B.U.T.T.S*! We've got a great Junior Woodchucks-themed episode, covering Barks' first two Woodchuck ten-pagers. And our first story is arguably the most notable appearance of the Duck family's pet St. Bernard, Bolivar (here ca…

Guest Hosts: Mikkel Hagen & Tom Wormstedt Join us, listeners, at the Billionaires' Picnic -- and don't forget the salt and pepper! Beware, however, of the Titanic Ants, the peril facing Donald and Scrooge in this brisk and weird and perhaps not-so-fondly remembered Barks story? My guests and I enjoyed it well enough, but it ranks extremely low base…

Guest Host: Morten Guldberg What ho, listeners! Why aren't you searching for the podcast at the end of the rainbow! This week's Ten-Page Podcast covers an all-time great, Barks' "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow" story! This is an unusually sentimental story, with an atypical message about the power of belief! It's also a great showcase for mu…

Guest Hosts: Warren Harmon & David Wolpaw Happy April Fool's Day! This episode covers a couple of Barks' "trickiest" stories, in recognition of the mischievous holiday. Both stories are from Barks' prime year of 1951, in fact, they ran in back-to-back issues of Walt Disney's Comics & Stories! The stories feature some great character art (especially…

Guest Host: Mikkel Hagen Don't let the summer money expansion get you down! Join us as we discuss this unusual and highly moralistic Scrooge tale. We'll discuss Scrooge's extreme thrift, the old fable the story is based on and more as we cover "the Golden River."

Guest Hosts: Dan Cunningham & Mikkel Hagen Prepare for a high stakes float down the Tulebug River, listeners, as we explore one of Carl Barks' greatest Uncle Scrooge adventures, "the Money Well!" My guests and I talk about this Duckburg set adventure, one of the stories where Scrooge is going to efforts to keep his money away from the Beagle Boys! …

Guest Hosts: Ryan Bailey & Becky Barnes Peeeel that banana! Sift that sand! Calling all Shoeless Pashley fans, it's time for the podcast to cover "City of Golden Roofs," the Duck Man's retread of his earlier adventure, "Land of the Totem Poles." This time Donald and Scrooge are in a salesman competition in the ducks' first visit to Southeast Asia! …

Guest Host: John Lustig No need to flip a coin to decide whether to listen to this episode! We're covering the story commonly called "Flipism," a fan-favorite ten-pager! We discuss whether Flipism actually works and the many crazy contours of this fan favorite ten-pager!
