In pt. 7 of my Countdown to DINK, web comics creators Nick Seluk (The Awkward Yeti, Heart & Brain), Brian Gordon (Fowl Language Comics), and Shen T. (Shen Comics) talk with moderator Josh Weaver about how social media affects web comics.
This interview is from DINK 2018, so check it out, and join us for DINK 2019 April 13-14!
Sandra is so dedicated to higher education that she literally almost lost her life over it!
Here, shares her story with me, and we talk about the graphic novel she's been working on about her experiences, Apocademia. Check it out!
The 3rd interview that disappeared in 2020 - this was a wonderful conversation with a buddy of mine, Olivia Abtahi. We're talking about Olivia's 1st book here, and I took so long to post it, that Olivia's 2nd book should be coming out in a few months!
(Boo, Alan!)
Anyway, Olivia is dope, and y'all need to check her out. :)
Here's another interview that was lost to 2020, and my apologies to the prolific Mister V.
This dude keeps putting out comics, and no one can stop him! Learn about his path, his process, and his secret past as a comics shop owner!
It's been a long time... 2020 was a year of many lost things, including episodes of this podcast that I wasn't able to bring myself to edit, until I got help recently. My apologies to my wonderful guest, J. D. Mason, who was sincerely dope to talk to.
She's an author who WILL NOT BE STOPPED! Listen and learn. :)
I'm talking with Jeff Campbell, a dope emcee and a playwright, who I met when I first moved from Atlanta to Denver at the age of 27. This man has a dope story of how hip-hop inspired him early on, and how he grew and changed as an artist. He has a lot of good shit to say, so check it out!
Today’s guest is Danette Hollowell, a dope jazz singer, who I met on the dancefloor years ago. Since then, I’ve seen her rule the stage with beautiful renditions of classic jazz songs. She’s a dope presence, and it was sincerely a pleasure to chat with her.
See the video of this interview HERE. Free comic about Juneteenth HERE.
In this episode, recorded last year (a few months into the pandemic), I talk with the wonderful Nalo Hopkinson!
Nalo was one of the few authors who was hand-picked by Neil Gaiman to write new comic books in the world of Sandman, she’s a professor at UCR, and she’s written a gang of her own brilliant sci-fi novels, like Skin Folk, Midnight Robber, and Brown Girl In The Ring, which inspired a film!

Because of my own pandemic struggles, it’s taken me a few months to upload this interview, but Nalo is charming, funny, and beautifully sincere. You’re gonna enjoy this one!
Oh, and I mentioned this last episode, but I gave a TEDTalk, called, "When the World Is Burning, Is Art A Waste of Time?", which is over 700,000 views currently!
Check this interview out!
"It's been a long time..."
Been distracted by a worldwide pandemic, but I'm back!
My guest is Francesca Sloane, a dope television writer, who worked on the most recent season of Fargo (w/Chris Rock), & the upcoming 3rd & 4th seasons of the TV show Atlanta!
Francesca also just signed an overall deal with Amazon Studios, so we should be seeing some exciting new shows from her!
Oh, and btw: I gave a TEDTalk, called, "When the World Is Burning, Is Art A Waste of Time?": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7rGQK3YopA
Anyway, check Francesca's story. It's dope and inspiring!
Jenny Parks, illustrator & creator of the famous and funny Star Trek Cats books, talks about how she got started in art, how she found her way into selling her art at conventions, and how she eventually got her work published by Marvel Comics, as well as illustrating books that are licensed and approved by Paramount!
Also, my graphic novel Kickstarter is still going on, and Jenny backed it! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/anguishgarden/anguish-garden-the-graphic-novel/description

In this episode, I briefly interview 3 people creating art for Anguish Garden: Carl Carrell, who’s composing the musical score for the book, Kevin Caron, who’s doing all of the layouts, & Dailen Ogden, who doing all the pencil/ink work.
Recorded at the Kickstarter Kickoff party for my new graphic novel, Anguish Garden, a post-apocalyptic Western that’s an allegory for leaving white supremacy!
We still need your help to get this book made!
