The Lucha Central Podcast Network continues to grow and this week we are proud to have landed on three major podcast ratings charts – iTunes, Backtracks and Podbay – with the #1 lucha libre themed show on all 3 charts and #1 Spanish show in ALL of wrestling and MMA on all 3 charts. Additionally, the network’s “Business of the Business” charted on Backtracks’ and Podbay’s Top Marketing Podcasts charts.
Groundbreaking Executive Producer Skip Chaisson Returns To Masks, Mats & Mayhem along with fellow Lucha Underground EP Eric Van Wagenen, La Mesa de Los Márgaros hits #1 and more this week on the Lucha Central Podcast Network.
While this Monday on the Lucha Central Podcast Network did not feature a new series drop, listeners were still discovering last Monday’s debut of the Business of the Business podcast enabling the show to enter the Top Marketing Podcasts charts on both Podbay and Backtracks. The initial release of the series featured both parts of a two-part interview with graphic designer and illustrator Jeffrey Everett debuted this past Monday. Among topics covered are art school, fine art vs. graphic design, music gig posters, creating officially licensed works for the WWE of Chris Jericho, Seth Rollins, Bobby Heenan, why his Mick Foley poster was rejected, creating logos and a birthday card for the Pope (not the wrestler!), working “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and “Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibase tributes into posters for the band Idles and more!
This coming Monday, the Lucha Libre Figures & Facts podcast returns with a look at the career at Konnan and one of his WCW-era action figures.
While last Tuesday the Masks, Mats and Mayhem show featured part one of a must-listen to interview with Lucha Underground TV series Executive Producer and El Rey Chief Creative Officer Skip Chaisson, this week, Skip is back for even more in-depth discussion on how the look and feel of the series came together. PLUS, series EP and showrunner Eric Van Wagenen stops by for a rare in-depth interview full of never-before-publicly-heard stories from behind the scenes.
