ABOUT US

The No Load Time podcast was an idea that originated from Obed Velez and Joel Young in the summer of 2017. Prior to the launch of the podcast, Obed and Joel had connected when they first met each other as colleagues while working for their employer in central Florida. During lunch breaks, we would often find ourselves discussing video games, comic book movies, Star Wars, etc. These would end up being the talking points for the conversational podcast that would later be launched. They thought to themselves “why not start a podcast around these very topics we discuss regularly?” and from there the idea grew to a weekly show on Thursday nights where Obed and Joel would jump on a Zoom call and record the show.

Since that time, we have experienced quite a bit of growth. We now broadcast our episode recordings on Twitch, YouTube and Facebook Live in addition to publishing the audio version on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music, etc. The show has been fortunate to receive shout outs from influential voices in the fandom space such as Ashley Eckstein (voice actress for Star Wars: The Clone Wars) and Todd McFarlane (comic book artist and creator). In addition, we have been featured in several news outlets (IGN, ComicBook.com, Screen Rant, etc.) for our coverage and insightful question to Justice League actor “Ray Fisher” at MegaCon Orlando 2021.

No Load Time has been to various conventions and gaming tournaments such as Star Wars Celebration, San Diego Comic-Con, New York Comic Con, Mega Con, and CEOtaku. The No Load Time podcast now has over 200 episodes and we are excited about where the future leads!
