In this episode we got on Skype in order to talk to writer, editor and co-founder of YetiPress, RJ Casey, in Seattle, Washington. RJ gave us a little back story about how Yeti was started with Eric Roesner, the origin of the name (you have to listen to find out!), answered some listener questions, and talked mascots (yeah, like sports mascots). If you’re going to be at CAKE (Chicago Alternative Comics Expo) this weekend make sure you stop by the YetiPress table and say hi to RJ (mention that you heard him on this podcast and he’ll give you a free hug!).

A big warm thank you to Maxistentialism for sponsoring this episode, as well as to the Chicago Podcast Coop for their continued support.
