August 17, 2020 Episode 22 - Beautiful Watercolour Chaos in Comics (w/ Jennie Gyllblad)
We are BACK, apologies for the hiatus. After a few months of silence, we have an inspiring new episode with a spectacular energetic guest, Swedish indie comic creator Jennie Gyllblad. We dive into Jennie's experiences of becoming an indie comic creator in the UK after finishing her illustration degree in Bristol. We discuss our first tries at networking in a creative industry and how maybe the environment can be broadened. We discuss Jennie's new kickstarter, 'Man & Angels' - A Sci-Fi Fairytale Comic, and how she has brought some of her existing audience and finding new ones through Twitch art streams. As well as a look at the beginnings of the 'Association of Comic Creators' (AoCC) which is dedicated to fostering a comics culture that supports and uplifts creators. All this and much more on this epic episode!

March 16, 2020 Episode 21 - The 2020 Comics Lineup
UPDATE:
This episode was recorded a couple of weeks ago before the world went all Mad Max. The conventions mentioned in the episode have since been cancelled, but you can support us by pre-ordering RAZE by Claire and/or visiting our online shop. With so many cons around the world cancelled at the moment, it's never been more important to support indie creators!
Claire and Bry are back in classic Wine & Zine fashion - wine glass in one hand and comics in the other. Today the girls talk about the W&Z lineup of comics for this year, including Claire's new book RAZE with Good Comics and W&Z Anthology Volume 2! If you enjoy slightly tipsy tangents, you'll get a lot out of this one.

October 01, 2019 Episode 19 - New Comics from Zara and Bry!
Hey folks! Did you miss us? This month Gemma joins Zara and Bry to ask them about their exciting new comics currently in the works!
Zara introduces her first longer-form comic for her original characters Rei and Roy (you might recognise them from their debut in Roy & Rei get Ice-cream in our anthology and also a mini zine Roy & Rei and the Rage Demon!), this time you can expect plenty of fairground shenanigans with Roy & Rei at the Fair!
Bry tells us more about her origin fantasy story featuring a young girl Yfa who is growing into her magic summoning horns, but with one problem; no magic! Look out for her working title, The Silent Horns!
You can expect both of these comics to debut at the Thoughtbubble Comic Art Festival in Harrogate this 9-10th November! Look out for Wine and Zine's table there and we'll happily talk to you about our new wares!

August 05, 2019 Episode 18 - Marvel Bants w/ Stacey Taylor
This month Bry is joined by Stacey Taylor from 'Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour' to discuss the Marvel studios takeover of Hollywood. With 'Phase 3' over, how much longer is their formula for success going to stretch before we all suffer from an epic case of superhero fatigue? We look at what paved the road for Marvel-madness, which started with a humble movie about a man in an iron suit, to become the purveyors of the most movies with a connected narrative ever made. Is there an end in sight, or has Marvel changed the face of modern popular cinema forever?

July 01, 2019 Episode 17 - From Students to Pro's (at Annecy Animation Festival)
Join Bry and Gem this month in a lighthearted episode comparing their pilgrimages over the years to the animator's holy land that is Annecy, home to the mother of all international animation festivals.
From fresh-faced students to work-weathered professionals, the girls explore how their networking skills have evolved over the years, and Gem reflects on how it felt to watch the premiere of a feature film that she worked on at the same festival that she attended as a wide-eyed student less than a decade ago.

June 01, 2019 Episode 16 - Ageism in Animation
Gemma and Jess join the much-needed conversation on ageism in the animation industry. Let’s get talking!
It’s been several years since we started working in animation in 2012, we’re no longer juniors and are looking ahead to our futures, what happens to people who want to start a family? How do we stay up to date on our skills? Is unpaid overtime bad for seniors as well as millennials? Can we negotiate a fair salary based on experience? And how do we keep going when so many (women in particular) start to leave the industry due to burnout?
We want to look at ways to improve our roles in this beloved medium and keep diverse voices in this industry, please join our conversation on Twitter and let us know your thoughts and experiences! Tweet us @wineandzine
And you can find Bryony’s poll asking if you’ve worked with women in animation over their 30’s here: bit.ly/2QC4E7k

May 01, 2019 Episode 15 - Creating Diverse Characters (w/ Sarah Millman)
Get ready to go on a real intense journey with us this week as Claire and Bry sit down with the indie comic legend Sarah Millman to discuss how to go about creating diverse characters.
Yeh, we know we're all super white girls, but that's actually the point - how do we, as the privileged majority, depict realistic fictional people of colour, LGBTQ+ or neurodiverse characters when we don't have those experiences ourselves, and where do we draw the line between stories that are ours to tell and stories that aren't? Together we scratch the surface of this HUGE topic, give you some tips on ways to research and things to avoid, and drop plenty of examples of the good versus the not so good (we're lookin' at you JK!)
Oh and click here to check out Sarah's Kickstarter for NPC Tea Issue 6!

April 01, 2019 Episode 14 - Jack Of All Creative Trades (w/ Luke Hyde)
Hold tight to your seats, folks, 'cause Wine & Zine are changing the face of podcasting with this groundbreaking new concept - guests!
In today's episode, Bry talks to Luke Hyde, a prolific artist with his fingers in a whole bunch of creative careers. They cover the gamut from pitching animated TV shows, to creating a Twitter poll based comic, to designing your own video game as a new parent. Oh, and if that wasn't enough deliciously dense creative talk for you, just wait 'til after the credits to hear another of Luke's seemingly endless talents.

March 01, 2019 Episode 13 - Arts Education
Gemma and Zara reflect on their experiences in early education and how they found their creative voices in school, with perspectives from home education and mainstream school. The girls relive their mutual childhood dream jobs of being a vet or a farmer's wife (yes, not the farmer), their love for arty things and how it led them both to Newport University (and Yale College, Wrexham), where the WaZ collective was obviously destined to meet.

Pyong Yang: a Journey in North Korea by Guy Delisle
Zara's original 'featured favourite' experienced some audio issues so we're just gonna squeeze it right up in here!
"So I am recommending “Pyong Yang: a Journey in North Korea by Guy Delisle”. When I am not reading BL/MLM comics I am a sucker for biogeographical comics. Guy Delisle is an animator who has created a series of comics based on his experience as an animator for various studios around the world. The series is an interesting insight into different cultures and animation jobs he comes across."
