It's already three months into the new year and we haven't given you all a new show! What's wrong with us? Well, a lot actually.

We're getting close to the end of the year, and the conventions are winding down. As a result, both Josh and Francis didn't really get to experience a lot of conventions the last month. Luckily, Josh got to experience his new Con life as part of the Rocky Mountain Comic Con, where he got to moderate panels, run some booths, and just get an intimate behind the scenes look at running a convention.

Welcome to CON-ventional Wisdom! This podcast is all about the coverage that the Points Of Interest Podcast Network does for Pop-Culture and Comic Book Conventions.
We’re back to talk conventions on an all new CON-ventional Wisdom. Josh Hawkes, and Francis, aka The Other Guy get busy discussing the convention experience itself, as they are on a bit of a dry spell the past month when it comes to conventions, but we hope to have some fun guests for you soon.
From there it’s all about FanimeCON in San Jose, where Francis will be joining No Ordinary Nerd for a panel all about Using Nerd Culture to Escape. So if you happen to be at this convention, look out for that panel on Monday at 1pm at Panels 4.
We tease about Denver Comic Con and Motor City Comic Con, where we had some of the POI crew there to represent the network at that show.
So conventions all around, but we need to get back into the game, on this episode of ConWiz.

Huge podcast this time around with guest Savanna from Speak G33k 2 Me in the third chair. She gives us her take of Star Wars Celebration, from the panels, the lines, and the cosplay. What was amazing about the show? Everything! What could she do without? Lines!
Then Josh Hawkes & Francis aka The Other Guy talk about their own conventions. Francis attended Wondercon and met up with Points of Interest Podcast’s new show, No Ordinary Nerd.
Josh & Francis got to attend the Great Philadelphia Comic Con, where POI took over. From moderating to interviews to show prep and set up, the crew found themselves involved behind the scenes and in front of the mics. It was an experience that would be in their hearts for a long time.
Josh took time to go to Starfest in Colorado, where he had a good time mingling with the people in the industry. From acknowledgement of our growing podcast network to moderating an artist panel, Josh makes the most of his time at one of the more popular cons in the Rocky Mountain State.
And as always we cover the latest in what’s going on in the pop culture, comic book, and anime convention world, with a look at the calendar for the month of May.
