PODCAST: TCJ Talkies - Julia Wertz on CAN’T WE TALK ABOUT SOMETHING MORE PLEASANT? and SPENT
🕑 Added 2023-09-21 19:18:14 +0000 UTCWith the news of Joe Matt's death, I was reminded of an old episode of the podcast I used to host at The Comics Journal, TCJ Talkies, where Julia Wertz and I discussed two autobiographical graphic novels, Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant? by Roz Chast and Joe Matt's final book, SPENT.
I went to listen to the episode on The Comics Journal website and realized that none of my old podcasts are available anywhere online anymore. I've been kind of mulling bringing a podcast element to this Patreon, so thought maybe it would be cool to post the audio of this conversation, to try out this feature for the first time.
This podcast was recorded all the way back in 2014. The format was me talking to other cartoonists about other cartoonist's work. I think this probably holds up fairly well.

I had no idea Joe Matt died! Sad to hear that. When I saw this post title I thought that TCJ Talkies was being revived! Bummer. Definitely get the archives up, Mike!

I remember this one too. I agree with John -- you should share more of your TCJ Talkies episodes.

there was one where I talked with Bill Kartalopoulos and Austin English about an old issue of Superboy of all things, which I recall being an extremely satisfying conversation

Mike, I remember this one - and the others. You need to post them, they were great!
