Raymond Duran is on the podcast this week to chat about his roles with IE Zine Quest, a zine fest celebrating the Inland Empire that also includes visitors from L.A. (like FAIR DIG and Daisy Noemi!), and the comic book store A Shop Called Quest. Ray and BFH discuss how Anthropologie and their sweet, sweet candles brought them together, being old men at underground shows, the potential of the DC Comics movie franchises, the joys of being a collector, and all the vendors you can expect to see on Saturday, November 2 at Augie's Coffeehouse in Redlands CA for IE Zine Quest!

MariNaomi is an author and illustrator, combining her talents as a writer and an artist to tell stories of "love, sex, failure [and] hope." She published the zine "Estrus Comics" for ten years, as well as produced work in others mediums, such as painting and collage. Her first book, "Kiss & Tell: A Romantic Resume, Ages 0 to 22" came out in 2011 as she began a tour with the feminist literary collective Sister Spit, and she is working on her second book, "Turning Japanese."

Mari joins BFH on the podcast to discuss the pivotal role Ron Paul played in her life (well, at least the very first part), growing up in the Bay Area and her struggles as an independent artist, and her more recent roles in academia and mentoring. They also chat about hostess bars, "Henry and Glenn Forever and Ever," hanging out with Armisted Maupin on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and tongue baths from animal friends (hear one live on the air!). 

Featuring the music of The The.

Katy Goodman is a singer and bassist for her own project, La Sera, as well as collaborating for the last several years with Vivian Girls, in addition to appearances with other bands. She joins Brodie and Libby in the new Shakeytown Studio, on a hill looking over Los Angeles' eastside, to discuss the deceptive difficulty of Misfits songs, college diplomas that may or may not exist, computer coding and other scientific pursuits, the influence of hardcore music and Riot Grrl on her work, and the evil genius of Kim Dotcom. The songs on this episode are from Katy's aforementioned bands, as well as her project with Greta Morgan (Hush Sound, Gold Motel) called The Books of Love.

Will Kistler is a character animator who has had his share of his own podcasts, both Japan!c TV and Secondhand Storytime, and collaborated with our own Libby on the short "A Slow Day In Comedy."

Bob sits in at Shakeytown Studio C with Libby as she asks Will about his early influences as a kid going to the movies, honing his craft on public access television as a teenager, working in 3D animation as an adult, and the career that is taking him out of the United States.

Libby and Bob also chat with Will about breaking into creationist museums, dealing with both fun and terrible directors, and gay rights and devil chickens.

The delightful and dreamy Daisy Noemi, an artist, illustrator, and photographer, is BFH's special guest cohost for an episode recorded from Freeways Collide's International Zine Month event at Space 15 Twenty. They chat with Dustin Garcia, Sara from Freeways Collide, and the folks from Sleep Talk Press, MC Sunflower Jones Productions, and Influentza. Bianca closes the show with guest Matt Walsh (Bugliens) and a bunch of dogs running around. There's complaints about heat and parking fees, positive stuff about DIY art and the zine community, celebrity lookalikes, cold beverages, talking trash about people we hated in high school who are now definitely or presumably dead, and Daisy transitions from princess to this decade's new action movie star.
