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.

CHRISTOPHER KOSEK the creator of THE DEFAULT TRIGGER, a cyber-noir that includes a wild conspiracy about student loan debt. Would you take a deal of working at a secret job for two weeks to pay off your student loans if it meant you had no memory of that time?

Comic book painter JK Woodward joins me to talk about his incredibly full schedule of projects including a miniseries of STAR TREK, 49TH KEY, FALLEN ANGEL, and the artwork for the KILL SHAKESPEARE board game.
Thank you from the bottom of my cold dark heart for listening to VODKA O'CLOCK and encouraging me to keep going. The first part of this episode Ande Parks and I go over our celebratory cocktails, his latest works including CIUDAD and his final issue of the LONE RANGER comic; Damian Smith was game for a drunkcast to celebrate his birthday. It's about I had him on the show because he's performed some sysadmin miracles to debug this website at times.
Every five or six months I'm able to wrangle JEREMY HOLT to talk about making independent comics. He brings us up to date on PULP and PATHFINDER: GOBLINS but mainly returns to VODKA O'CLOCK to about ART MONSTER which is available through digital outlet Monkeybrain Comics.
Ryan K. Lindsay (My Little Pony) returns to the show to discuss his new supernatural crime thriller HEADSPACE.
Returning to VODKA O'CLOCK is writer/model LELA GWENN who gives updates on her Nerd Bondage Projekt and her current comic book series BORN DARK which is on Kickstarter. BORN DARK is being illustrated by long time comic book artist RICHARD CLARK and edited by ADAM P. KNAVE, both past guests on the show.
Returning guest JEFF MACH joined me on Vodka O2019Clock to go over the basics of Wicked Faire, Voltaire2019s Wicked Necrocomiccon and even a few teasers about this year2019s Steampunk World2019s Fair. Wicked Faire and Necrocomiccon take place Feb 21-23, 2014
GANNON BECK and BRYAN RICHMOND have collaborated on SPACE CORPS COMIC, a sci-fi webcomic with a space marine saga where each vignette gives a closer look into the various alien race characters.
MONTY NERO and his collaborative partner MIKE DOWLING are the brains and talent behind DEATH SENTENCE. I found the story compelling and Titan Comics2019 viral marketing to be just the right amount of gimmick without being overbearing driving potential fans into boredom before giving the book a chance.
Today's podcast guest WES LOCHER is a perfect example of how writers can have broad range. The first book we discuss is CHAMBERS, an action-packed crime drama followed by talk on UNIT 44, his Kickstarter sci-fi comedy, and finally INNOVATION which is his serious sci-fi webcomic.
From the newly formed Red Anvil Comics independent comics publisher, creator DAVE RYAN visits Vodka O'Clock podcast. We worked out splitting the interview up with his Italian artist RACHEL ARAGNO who created the OWLGIRLS and then ROBERT SODARO who scripted. We dig into the world Rachel created with this 1940s noir mystery. amberunmasked.com
The life of a freelance artist and a dozen other pop culture topics are covered in my conversation with TONY MIELLO on VODKA O'CLOCK
Return guest ERIC GRISSOM comes back to the show to talk about comic projects, lettering comics, social media, animals and science. Pretty much anything was fair game in this conversation.

For the first time on VODKA O2019CLOCK, comic writer and occasional actor VITO DELSANTE stops by to talk about life as a new dad, making comics, and his current WORLD WAR MOB graphic novel.
Jeremy Holt, comic book writer, returns to VOC to discuss his new project PULP and we go over our reading recommendations.
Back on the show and taking two hours out of his insane schedule is DIRK MANNING, author of WRITE OR WRONG: A WRITER2019S GUIDE TO CREATING COMICS and many comics such as NIGHTMARE WORLD and TALES OF MR. RHEE. We spend quite a bit of time chatting about each project and recapping our experience together at Detroit Fanfare. You can tell how comfortable things are when we go from discussing Dirk2019s upset stomach to my boobs; the two are unrelated discussions.
It2019s great to welcome back one of my favorite people in the world, comics writer PAUL ALLOR, to this week2019s episode of VODKA O2019CLOCK. Paul fills us in on his latest creator owned comic STRANGE NATION and his new franchise work on TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES and G.I. JOE. plus Dynamite Comics2019 anthology PATHFINDER: GOBLINS.
