Mother F**ker in a Cape - Mutiny Comics Podcast

I had a fun conversation with Charisma Carpenter (Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel), for a few moments at this year's Wizard World Comic Con in Des Moines, IA. We talked about what motivates her as an artist, what kind of roles she finds fulfilling, and the charities she supports.

We also discussed what lessons she learned for her own life during the years she played Cordelia on Buffy, and why she avoids hugs from strangers.

I sit down with Supernatural's Lisa Berry, to discuss everything from natural hair to Shakespeare, to what it means if you're black and haven't watched Black Panther yet.

Recorded at Wizard World Comic Con Des Moines, through a collaboration with Nerd Team 30, this conversation with Lisa felt like I was chatting with an old friend, and her generous enthusiasm shined through. Check it out! Additional help on this episode was provided by Maia Parish of Parish Media, and a special thanks to Jerry Milani at Wizard World!

Renowned comics writer Brian Azzarello (100 Bullets, Wonder Woman, Batman) joins me in a bar, at Phoenix Comic Fest, for a conversation about everything from asshole vegans, to political extremism, to how important it is to be able to write characters who have viewpoints you don't agree with.

We hear a bit about some of his upcoming work with DC Comics, and the advice that he gives younger writers there. Plus, we learn what questions NOT to ask him, because he hears them ALL THE TIME. So check it out!

Prolific writer Pat Shand (Van Helsing, Avengers & Guardians of The Galaxy novels) talks with me via phone.

We discuss Afterglow, his new comic book with artist K. Lynn Smith (which has a Kickstarter campaign happening right now! Make sure to go support it!). We discuss how he broke into comics, how not to be an asshole to comics creators, and we also talk about some hip-hop shit! Check it out!

I sit down again with the founders of the Arise Music Festival, Paul Bassis and Tierro Lee, to discuss how a music festival can be full of art, meaning and activism. Paul and Tierro talk about some of their plans for this year's festival, some of the social justice components that'll be involved, and what they want people to get out of attending Arise.

I'll be hosting the Main Stage at Arise this year again, over my birthday weekend, so come celebrate with me! Check it all out at www.arisefestival.com

In episode 3 of this special 3 part series examining sexual harassment, I speak with three men about times that they've harassed women, and what it took for them to realize that what they did was wrong. Two of these men didn't realize what they were doing at the time, but the third man talks about being raised to believe that harassing women was his right. We also learn how he came to change his views on this topic. Don't for forget to check out parts 1 & 2 of this series, where we talk with an anti-harassment expert, and women who've endured harassment.

In episode 2 of this special 3 part series examining sexual harassment, two women share their experiences with sexual harassment, and their perspectives on what motivates it. Their stories are very different, which provides an interesting range of experiences with this topic. Don't miss part 3 of this series, where I interview men who've harassed women, and learn what the hell they were thinking!

In episode 1 of this special 3 part series examining sexual harassment, anti-harassment trainer Sarah J. Berg talks with us about the legal definition of harassment. She also discusses strategies for fighting it, both as an individual and a community. (Also, her favorite comic character turns 40 this year.) Don't miss parts 2 & 3 of this series, coming each week! I learned some important things, and I imagine you will too.

Thea J. Hunt, who was on our "Ideas Ain't Shit" episode, has finally finished her comic book, "Amelia"! I take a few minutes to talk with her about finishing, and what it feels like for her to be premiering her comic book at DINK Comics and Art Expo!

Comics creators Thea Hunt and Dailen Ogden discuss the struggles that all artists face to move their projects from ideas to completion, and what they're doing to overcome those struggles.
