FAN2FAN Podcast: Craig Zablo Talking Stallone Interview Part 2
Recently, the Fan To Fan (F2F) team spoke with me about Sly Stallone. We had so much fun talking that the discussion was split into two parts. Part I is here and part 2 is below. Talking to Bernie, Pete and Doug was a blast. It was truly fans hanging out. I hope you enjoy it half as much as I did.
FAN2FAN Podcast: Craig Zablo Talking Stallone Interview Part 1
The Fan To Fan (F2F) podcast with hosts Bernie Gonzalez, Peter Charbonneau and Doug Ziegler takes a simple idea and does it well. Each episode of F2F features a conversation between fans. The subject could be movies, comics, TV, video games, toys, cartoons, or anything pop culture! Bernie, Peter and Doug pick a fan with a love and/or knowledge of the episode’s topic and then do a deep dive.
Recently, the F2F team spoke with me about Sly Stallone. When I was approached to be a guest, I explained that there are Stallone fans with greater knowledge and bigger collections than mine. Still, they were interested in how I became a Stallone fan, the creation of StalloneZone and more. I was already a fan of Bernie’s Midnight Mystery, so I checked out F2F and became a fan of it as well.
Talking to Bernie, Pete and Doug was a blast. It was truly fans hanging out. Here’s part one of the conversation. I hope you enjoy it half as much as I did.
