This week I am joined by the artist and co-author of the forthcoming graphic novel Banned Book Club (due to be released May 6th from Iron Circus Comics), Ryan Estrada. Ryan and I talk about the fascinating story of Banned Book Club about his wife and co-author Kim Hyun Sook's experience in a banned book club during South Korea's Fifth Republic in the 1980s. We also talk about his experiences as a world traveler--experiences that include being thrown from a train--and the South Korean response to COVID-19 (as of the recording of this episode on March 11, 2020). An interesting talk with an interesting man. You can find out more about Ryan, his travels, and his work on his website. http://www.ryanestrada.com/

Be on the lookout for Banned Book Club By Kim Hyun Sook, Ryan Estrada, Hyung-Ju Ko (Illustrator) on May 6th.
