Luke Bugg, The Geek of Steel, hosts a special season finale of the Portsmouth Comic Con Podcast, recorded live from Portsmouth Guildhall during the weekend.
Across two unforgettable days, he captures the true spirit of the eventāfrom taking to the stage on a panel to speaking with guests, attendees, and vendors. Itās a celebration of individuality, community, inclusivity, and creativity, while shining a spotlight on the incredible team who make it all happen.
