Amazing Spider-Talk: A Spider-Man Podcast

Over the past decade, the Amazing Spider-Talk podcast has been fortunate to feature writer Gerry Conway as a guest at least a dozen times. Those conversations bled into the real world, and Gerry became a friend to Dan and Mark.

Following news of his passing on April 26th, 2026, Dan and Mark recorded a conversation about their friendship with Gerry, their memories of his appearances on the show, and his legacy.

RIP, Gerry Conway.
