51: Colleen AF Venable – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
Fresh off a battle with germs, Colleen AF Venable joins the final Gutter Talk interview podcast of 2014 with a proud declaration of “Snot free and full of tea.” Oh, the irony, when Adam falls ill the following week. Fortunately the conversation was had right in the sweet spot, perfectly timed between illnesses, when both voices were healthy. Listen in as Colleen and Adam talk popularity of made up holidays, the joy of working with others, and working with and for people who appreciate not just the art but the artists, too.

49: Eric Shanower – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
As we enter December, the last month of Year One of not just the Gutter Talk podcast but the site as a whole, we pause a little to reflect on just how much we’ve accomplished in that time. But not for too long. Not only are we still not done, we’ve just barely scratched the surface. That trend continues with the first podcast of December, yet another amazing artist we can add to our guest list, Eric Shanower. Join Adam and Eric as they meet at an amazing San Diego restaurant, Alchemy, to discuss mostly comics but even a little personal history similarities.

47: Gavin Aung Than (Zen Pencils) – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
Each week our Gutter Talk podcasts open with a quote. Usually they are tied to the podcast somehow but other times we often wonder if Adam needs a white jacket with long sleeves and shiny buckles. However, nothing compares to what Gavin Aung Than does with quotes on his Zen Pencils comic, often going from playful to masterful in one panel. Adam sits down one on one with Gavin to discuss the drive behind Zen Pencils, and how hard work and a little luck have taken him a long way.

46: Gene Luen Yang – MakingComics.com Gutter Talk Podcast
We are nearing the end of our first year of Making Comics Worldwide and we are not slowing down as we round turn four, especially when it comes to the guests we have on the podcast. This episode’s guest, Gene Luen Yang, is an award winning artist and creator of works that have been and continue to be used in classrooms to educate students. This lies right at the feet of what we do at Making Comics Worldwide so having Gene on the show was almost vital. We were glad we made it happen.
Join Adam and Kevin as they head out on location to Gene’s hotel room in downtown San Diego to discuss using comics to educate, how software coding can be both similar and different from making comics, and also what it’s like to have your name spoken by Alex Trebek.
