iFanboy is a weekly audio podcast which focuses on comic books, comic book publishing, and comic book creators. It stars Josh Flanagan, Ron Richards, and Conor Kilpatrick. The first episode of the audio podcast was released on November 2, 2005, and the first episode of the video podcast on January 17, 2007. They were bought by the Boulder-based Graphic.ly in 2010 to add the ready-built community of iFanboy to their digital comics platform. In early 2013, iFanboy amicably split from Graphic.ly and once again became an independently run website by the iFanboys. Shortly thereafter, Ron Richards - a founder of the site and podcast - stepped down as one of the hosts of the show for a position at Image Comics. On September 1, 2013, Flanagan and Kilpatrick issued a joint statement announcing a scale back of day-to-day operations on the iFanboy website. New content - such as reviews, feature articles, previews and the new comic pull list - would no longer be created. Despite scaling back written content, they plan to continue the weekly podcast and infrequent Book- and Talksplodes, with Paul Montgomery. In 2014, Montgomery left iFanboy for the website Panels. In 2015, Ron Richards who had left Image comics returned to iFanboy. The original iFanboys continue on the podcast. Audio podcast The Audio Podcast, also known as the iFanboy.com Pick of the Week Podcast, is where the iFanboys tell you the best books that they have read that week and answer listener e-mail and voicemail. It usually begins with an iFanboy informing you that you are listening to the iFanboy.com Pick of the Week podcast and then the episode number. This is followed by a music selection and a brief introduction of what iFanboy is. Each week one of the iFanboys picks a comic book and then they talk about that book and other books that came out that week. After the "Pick of the Week" section, they answer e-mail and voicemail and wrap up the show. Exceptions to this format are Special Edition Episodes, which include Creator Interview, Movie Review, or Year End Wrap-Ups. On September 4, 2008, iFanboy officially released the first episode of Talksplode, an audio podcast devoted to interviews with comic creators. As of December 2014, 464 regular episodes have been produced. In a post on their website, it was announced that founding member Ron Richards will be resigning from his editorial and
