    Self-Publishing with Evan Dahm

    A lot of this podcast is about the publishing industry: breaking into it, working within it, and our frustrations with it. But some writers and artists strike out on their own. Joining us in this episode is Evan Dahm, writer and artist of 3rd Voice, Rice Boy, and other online serialized fantasy-adventure comics.

    i Pony: Blueprint for a New America

    Based & Rhino Pilled

    Howdy, Matt here! As you may remember from last month’s episode, Rite Gud is taking this month off. We’ve taken out one of our book club episodes from behind the paywall to share with you all. We’re looking at the Ionesco’s Rhinoceros with Simon McNeil, recorded in August of last year. If you like this and want more, the Book Club is available for $3 patrons..

    This week, Kittysneezes is also proud to present the Infinite Danger podcast by KasmKave. Infinite Danger is a podcast chronicling the wildly successful Canadian action TV classic, Danger Bay. All 40-plus seasons of it. Join your host Will, as he breaks down each episode of the adventures of aquarium policeman Grant Roberts and his children Nicole and Jonah in the trillion-dollar franchise which continues to define the city of Vancouver culturally, economically, religiously, and geopolitically. You don’t need to be familiar with the series, Danger Bay, to enjoy the podcast.

    Infinite Danger is available, much like Rite Gud, wherever you get your podcasts, and to whet your appetite, we’ve included the first 10 or so minutes of the first episode, “The Sea Pup: Should I Be Worried” at the end of this one.

    Check it totally out!

    Shock Value, or, Don’t Cut Yourself On That Edge

    Shock Value, or, Don’t Cut Yourself On That Edge

    In this podcast, we talk a lot about transgressive art and pushing the envelope. We rail against censors and prudes. And for that reason, we’ve gotten a little bit of a reputation as shock jocks and edgelords. And we have definitely attracted some shock jocks and edgelords. But, in this episode, we’re going to talk about the limits of shock value. Joining us is the world’s greatest writer, June Martin.

It’s good guys

I’m also a fan of Raquel’s Everyone is Beautiful piece for Blood Knife but found the podcast through people yelling at her for being right.

It’s particularly worth your time if you find yourself worn down by commercialized geek culture and the genre (and/or) publishing scenes; I definitely am, but if you collect Funko pops you might feel affronted. Sorry. No punches are pulled here. Content-wise, the guests are great and the insight into process is valuable. Discussion does tend to circle the same two or three topics a lot, so you might get worn out trying to binge it unless you’re personally angry at the Marvel nerds or Cassandra Clares of the world (which is fair). Personally, I’m pacing it out a bit.

Writing this review to hopefully even out the one-star bomb. This is a good podcast made by people who care a lot about craft. If that also describes you, give it a try.

The key is “want to do better”

This podcast is more about being a better artist. One who has compassion, passion, and wants to present their unique vision. This podcast examines trends in genre art and discusses how the artist makes a difference and can improve the world.

I have a love/hate relationship w/ this podcast but that’s why I give it 5 stars

This podcast always makes me think even if I don’t always agree. My biggest gripe is I wish they would talk as deeply about the things they love as the do the things they hate.
