22: Jason Brubaker & Nate Simpson pt.2 (Classic #3) – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
Quite an amazing month of May for the Gutter Talk podcasts, huh? Well, what do you say we put a fancy bow on it and take a trip back to when Jason Brubaker was running the roost?
If you don’t know (and quasi-shame on you if you don’t), we have been re-releasing the podcasts Jason recorded back in the day. The last Friday of every month we step in Calvin’s time machine and revisit these talks. I know, I know. He and Hobbes ended up in the Mesozoic Era so how can you trust it? Remember, if that happens here, don’t move. The t-rex reacts to motion (thanks, Jurassic Park!).
I’m sorry, where were we? Oh, right. The podcast. So this re-release is Part 2, the continuation of a fantastic conversation between Jason Brubaker, his co-host Daniel Lieske, and their guest, Nate Simpson.
Oh, by the way, if you missed Part 1, click here to listen.

21: Pitching Your Project (Round Table) – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
Everyone knows what it’s like to have to present something in school, having to stand up in front of a group of peers and present something or give a speech. Everyone also knows the sweaty palms, the white knuckles, the quasi out of body experience while speaking. If you can even get the words out, that is.
Well, don’t look now but if you’re an artist with a project, your speech giving days aren’t over. And in fact, this one’s for your livelihood: You have to pitch your project, your baby, to an individual who receives pitches from others and their babies all day, every day. Feel free to have a seat, if you need to. We understand.
But fear not, dear artist. Our esteemed CEO and panel host Patrick Yurick, along with some of the great minds in the industry today, are here to help. Even if it involves stalking. While we here at Making Comics don’t condone it, there just may be a benefit in there somewhere. Take a listen to this week’s Get a Grasp! MOOC panel podcast and find out how.

20: Project Management For Comics (Round Table) – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
One million points to you if you’ve heard this one before: “If ya got time to lean, ya got time to clean.” No? Well, if you’ve ever worked in the food industry, it’s a popular one. Good thing we don’t hear it much making comics. Still, the heart of that message may not be as icy as it sounds. How are we, as artists, scheduling our time? What are we doing to make sure we remain productive artists without burying ourselves by taking on too much work? And should we even say no to opportunities? These were just a few of the questions answered and broken down by the incredible group of artistic minds we had for Week 3 of the Get A Grasp! MOOC panel.

18: How To Start Making Comics (Round Table) – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
We recently wrapped up a four week long Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) called “Get A Grasp!” that covered everything from ideation to pitching your idea to networking. Each week we also had a live online panel with amazing artists and professionals in the industry. What you’re about to listen to is the Week 1 panel, which came out with all cylinders firing. The topics, the guests, the conversation, all of it was well worth the price of admission. Which, oh by the way, was free. Just like this podcast. All in the name of art and comic creation. Alright, bring it in. Group hug!

15: Jim Zub – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
The next time you think to yourself, “I am just way too busy,” please consider this podcast you’re about to listen to. How writer, artist, teacher, and literal jack of all trades Jim Zub even found the time to sit down for an hour with us is as mysterious as what the writers were thinking with the last season of LOST. At times it is a bit harrowing listening to Jim describe his day. Then you look at his amazing work, the result of stacking those seemingly endless days of creative output, and end up scooting your chair back in, grabbing a pencil, and sketching out your next idea or writing that last page or chapter. Join Adam and Mark as they steal an hour from Jim Zub’s time to talk about… well, Jim Zub’s time.

14: Jules Rivera – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast

That’s the feeling you get when talking to Jules Rivera, creator of the successful ventures of Misfortune High and Valkyrie Squadron. Adam, Patrick, and Jules cannonball into the ocean of webcomics and crowdfunding, sharks be damned, and discuss what it’s like to swim with both the whales and the bottom feeders.

13: Jason Brubaker & Daniel Lieske (Classic #1) – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
Before there was Gutter Talk, and as crazy as it sounds there was life before Gutter Talk, Jason Brubaker released numerous podcasts of his own and published them on Making Comics (dotCom) 1.0. When the baton was passed to Patrick Yurick and the gang, there was some concern Jason’s podcasts would end up lost, never to be heard from again, like that one sock that gets eaten by the drier. Or something. Well, the intent to re-release these amazing conversations with even more amazing artists was there from the beginning of Making Comics (dotCom) 2.0. We just needed to grow into our ears a little bit and figure out how to walk. Now that we no longer seem to be having gravity issues, it just seemed like the right time to re-release Jason’s podcasts.
This is the first re-issue of many to come with Jason Brubaker. In this episode, Jason’s guest and sometimes co-host Daniel Lieske.
