    Episode 18: Experimental Collaboration, ft Aled Lies, Dylan Owen and Shehzad Ahmad

    With Thought Bubble Festival currently underway in its new 2020 online format, Joe caught up with Aled Lies, Dylan Owen and Shehzad Amhad – the team behind Idiot Corpse, which is debuting at the festival. They took a very unconventional approach to working together, taking the format of a classic exquisite corpse parlour game and applying it to making comics, so we discussed how they came up with the idea, being creative whether you like it or not, and making a comic that was as much of a surprise to the creators as it is to the readers.

    Episode 11: Spotlight on Aleesha Nandhra

    In a bit of a change up from the usual episode format, rather than focus on a particular topic Joe had an open and casual chat with illustrator, printmaker and small press creator Aleesha Nandhra. Both Aleesha and Joe were featured as part of the 2019 Broken Frontier Six to Watch, and they discuss how that affected their work, balancing having a creative job with having a creative pastime, and the pressures of promoting yourself on social media.
