    The Chestnut Tree - a Conversation with Mathew Tekulsky

    The Chestnut Tree Let's step away from the usual superheroes, movies, and pop culture rabbit holes and into the world of storytelling with an author whose work explores the power of imagination, memory, and the stories that stay with us long after we turn the final page. Joining Pop Culture Addicts today is Matthew Tekulsky, author of The Chestnut Tree. Now, every good book has a story behind the story — where the idea came from, what inspired the characters, and what ultimately made the author sit down and say, “Okay… I have to write this.” So today, we’re going to get into all of that. We’ll talk about The Chestnut Tree, Matthew’s inspiration behind the book, his writing process, and what he hopes readers take away from the story.

    Drawing Family Guy - a Conversation with Patrick McCarthy

    Drawing Family Guy You know those moments on Family Guy where you’re laughing so hard you completely forget what the joke was? Well, there’s a whole team of incredibly talented people behind those moments — and today, we’re talking to one of them! Our guest is Patrick McCarthy, a storyboard artist who has worked on the hit animated series Family Guy. Patrick is one of the artists helping take those scripts, jokes, characters, and completely ridiculous situations and turn them into the visual comedy we see on screen. So, how does a joke go from a line on a script to something that actually makes it onto television? What does a storyboard artist really do? And what’s it like working behind the scenes on one of the most recognizable animated shows in pop culture?

    The Comic Artist - A Spotlight on Thomas Savage

    The Comic Artist Our guest today is comic book artist Tom Savage , the creator of Ash & Raimi, an incredible talent whose work brings larger-than-life characters and stories from the page to life. From the world of comic books and art to the creativity and fandom that surround it, Tom has built a career doing what so many of us grew up dreaming about — creating art for the characters and stories we love, including an amazing Star Wars print of Darth Vader, which you can find on his Instagram Page.
