Eric Martin, died of a massive heart attack on November 18th during his sleep. He was aged only 36. Eric was a great supporter of Geek Syndicate back when the podcast first started and came on a few episodes and stayed in touch with hosts Barry Nugent and David Montieth.
Eric went on to start up a few podcasts of his own Comic Playground (A look at all ages comics) and DC Noise. He was a huge supporter of the Comic Podcasting community who loved comics and all things geek.
His brother Mike has now set up a donation fund for Eric’s eight year old daughter, Gracie.
