Mark Racop interview -- THE BATMOBILE

Post by bat-rss »

New episode of To the Batpoles! An interview with Mark Racop, owner of Fiberglass Freaks -- the only authorized maker of replica Batmobiles! We discuss the original car and its history and capabilities, how Mark got into making Batmobiles, and why the car still means so much to so many.

That was a fun interview. It's always neat to be interviewed by people that actually get the TV show references!

Excellent interview with a lot of great info. I had a chance to see Mark's work at Awesome Con here in Indy last October- can't believe that was already a year ago!

Finally got around to listening to this episode in my podcast rotation whilst re-touching photos at home. Mark, I really enjoyed what you brought to this show. The level of detail and encyclopedic knowledge of the show is what I feel has been missing from this podcast's week to week episodes.

On the plus side, they provide a more academic, cultural, and thoughtful look at the show than other Bat-podcasts that are filled with trivia and minutiae you can easily find elsewhere. Its unique viewpoint has made it my favorite Bat-podcast, although I still like listening to old 'Steve and Andy' podcasts while I am working in the lab late at night.

Mr. Racop, you gave a wonderful interview. Your stories were quite interesting and funny!
He flies and fights-BATMAN!
Purity and virtue-BATMAN!
Cowards run away!
Batman saves the day!
Also, Boy Wonder Robin.
Batman and Robin-caped crusaders at night!
BIFF! POW! BAM! BATMAN!
