VODKA O'CLOCK 1433 Rape culture, misogyny & con safety with Christine Rose TRIGGER WARNING This interview openly discusses rape culture. It was important to have Christine on the show because she is able to talk about her life as a survivor of multiple sexual assaults and how that affected her career as a professional writer and public figure plus she has a polyamorous marriage which is a lifestyle confusing to people in the media.

I'm thrilled to welcome back to the show, JENNIE WOOD, the author of the graphic novel series FLUTTER and the YA novel A BOY LIKE ME. One of the best things you'll find in Jennie as a guest speaker and writing mentor is that she will always discuss the positive impact of comics and literature before opening any controversies. She focuses on how comics like Ariel Schrag’s POTENTIAL changed her life. I opened the door to discuss #GamerGate and other misogynistic arguments that have hit pop culture recently.

STEVE BRYANT joins me today to talk about everything possible from pets to comics. His series ATHENA VOLTAIRE went through a big kickstarter campaign and ended up being close to 300 pages of content.

LAZARUS is Lark's labor of love today. In the past he's worked on GOTHAM CENTRAL and Ed Brubaker's SCENE OF THE CRIME. He sealed his noir cred with the graphic novel adaptation of Chandler's "LITTLE SISTER." We get into the nitty gritty details of character design and establishing environments plus team collaboration on creator-owned books.

The LGBTQ comics panel recorded at Boston Comic Con 2014 featuring Brigid Alverson, Tana Ford, Jennie Wood, Amber Love and Joey Stern.

I'm so glad that guests enjoy the show so much that they want to come back on. WES LOCHER has been before to talk about his books CHAMBERS and UNIT 44. Now we get into one of his older stories that was three years in the making -- see, you don't need to put out a book a month to consider yourself "in comics." THE UNDOUBTABLES is fun, fast-paced heist story about a playing card theme gang lead by Spencer "Spade."

I’m thrilled to welcome for the first time a fabulous man and talented writer, JOSH STALLINGS. We recap BoucherCon and talk about some of the dark elements of crime noir fiction. This episode is one that is for mature audiences. We talk about sex work and violence which are the environments of the Stallings’ trilogy. This comes with a TRIGGER warning because of the discussion we have about his research in guerilla prostitution which means raping kidnapped girls/women until they comply.

Interviews with Joe & Dave about Dungeons & Dragons 5E and Greyhawk Reborn. Recorded at Dexcon 2014.

Hilarity and vulgarity ensue when I interviewed CLAIRE CONNELLY and ERICA SCHULTZ about their comic book, THE UNAUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY OF WINSTON CHURCHILL: A DOCUMENTARY. It’s a trippy time traveling story you’ll want to read. There are dinosaurs. That might not be your thing but trust me - these are wickedly creative versions of dinosaurs. Not to mention, the main character, dear ol’ Winston Churchill, is a hoot.

We're post celebrating that VODKA O'CLOCK has published over 100 episodes over the last couple of years. The 100th post was one of the panel recordings at the Special Edition NYC convention. I'd love for you to go back and check out that panel on transgender issues because it a topic that today's guest AVONELLE WING and I discuss regarding her ways of making the Double Exposure productions more inclusive for all people of all ages, genders, gaming experience and ethnic background.

It was standing room only at the REIMAGINING THE FEMALE HERO panel at the SPECIAL EDITION NYC comic con. Ben Saunders, professor at the University of Oregon moderated the panelists: Jenny Frison, Emanuela Lupacchino, Marguerite Bennett, Gail Simone and Amy Reeder.

This time we talk about Minx’s new book EIGHT THINGS I WISH I’D KNOWN ABOUT POLYAMORY (BEFORE I TRIED IT AND FRAKKED IT UP). Listen here about not only some of the polyamory topics but about taking a lecture, turning it into an ebook, and self-publishing. Minx’s new ebook is very accessible whether someone is poly or monogamous or no idea what they are.

One of the best people in the world comes to VODKA O’CLOCK, JAMAL IGLE, Marketing Director at Action Lab Entertainment. Actually he does so many different things that there simply isn’t one job title for him.
