MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast

We here at Making Comics Worldwide hope you had a great 2014 and we look forward to you joining us as we rush headlong into 2015. However, we still have one more piece of business to attend to, and that’s the final Gutter Talk episode of the year. It seems fitting that this episode is a re-issue of the one that started this whole thing, Jason Brubaker, and the second part of his conversation with artists Jeremy Barlow and Travis Hanson. If you missed the first half, click here. But first, Adam and Michael talk about holiday plans and other shop talk.

See you all next year! Ok, yeah, we know it’s next week. Just roll with it.

Fresh off a battle with germs, Colleen AF Venable joins the final Gutter Talk interview podcast of 2014 with a proud declaration of “Snot free and full of tea.” Oh, the irony, when Adam falls ill the following week. Fortunately the conversation was had right in the sweet spot, perfectly timed between illnesses, when both voices were healthy. Listen in as Colleen and Adam talk popularity of made up holidays, the joy of working with others, and working with and for people who appreciate not just the art but the artists, too.

The Gutter Talk podcast hits the golden anniversary with its 50th episode and we’re extremely excited to have Meg Gandy, a fantastic artist and successful Kickstarter. Adam sits down with Meg to discuss high school manga club, her comic-book store owning husband, and how her webcomic was a boon to her Kickstarter success. However, before that conversation begins, Adam gets serious and opens up.

As we enter December, the last month of Year One of not just the Gutter Talk podcast but the site as a whole, we pause a little to reflect on just how much we’ve accomplished in that time. But not for too long. Not only are we still not done, we’ve just barely scratched the surface. That trend continues with the first podcast of December, yet another amazing artist we can add to our guest list, Eric Shanower. Join Adam and Eric as they meet at an amazing San Diego restaurant, Alchemy, to discuss mostly comics but even a little personal history similarities.

Another great re-issue this week with Jason Brubaker and his guests Jeremy Barlow and Travis Hanson. If you aren’t familiar with their work, on your next break from finishing that panel you’ve been avoiding, get familiar with it. Listen to this podcast, the first half of this conversation, while you’re researching and working.

Before the conversation begins, Adam is joined by co-host Michael Yakutis to discuss the NaNoWriMo challenge Adam is finishing up, a very cool Secret Santa event with Webcomic Underdogs, and some of the finer points of the podcast you’re about to listen to.
