Making Comics is a podcast where indie comics creators Scott Lost (Wanderers of Melissanda, The Second Shift) and Keith Foster (Kodoja, Three Protectors) discuss the world of independent comics from both artist and writer perspectives. It centers around one question - what did you do last week? Art, writing, promotion, you name it - it all adds up to the work behind an indie comic.
