S4E20: Christie Shinn (Demon Bitch)
Hey listeners! You keep the tartie party alive, and I love it. The word is getting out, and thanks to those of you who listen, Christie Shinn, the Ringo Award-winning artist/writer from LA, has graced us with her presence to present her unique and unapologetic perspective on creatorship and why being a s$%&y person is a bad idea. We dive deep into dangerously, but not too closely to politics in the industry, the psychology of less-than-desirable people, her art style, Demon Bitch, and even mental health. All this and more, so pull up a seat and enjoy. I'm honored to have her as a guest!
(Trigger Warnings are advised. Don't get mad cause you didn't read the show notes.)

Welcome back to the tart cave, you beautiful bunch of smarty-tarties!

Comics to bring us Xyber Ronin! So sit back and have a DANG-good time as we discuss a plethora of topics, like old friends, including what's to come from Dang! Comics in the future.

S4E16: Darkside of Ring: Chris Benoit Review Part 1
I was up late watching this and was triggered as I watched this director capture Chris Benoit's friends and family turn on him for something that wasn't completely this man's fault, and because of it, he doesn't get the same honor as the rest of his fellow wrestlers. Well, strap in for a different kind of tartine-partie, because it's a no-holds-barred match on this review of Darkside of the Ring. You're about to learn a whole bunch of stuff about me. Like it or hate it, you just might benefit from this review. Let's go!

S4E15: Bad Blood w/ Kelly McMahon & Matt Groom
Matt Groom (Inferno Girl Red) and Kelly McMahon (Imperium, Clerks III, & Jay & Silent Bob: Reboot), join me for a Geek Network-sponsored interview to discuss their playing card crime mystery project Bad Blood (available here). Tonight's tarty party kicks off with a validation of my Australian accent impression, which Kelly endorses until Matt joins us to complete the trifecta of creatorship. Kelly and Matt share some words of career wisdom before exiting the tart cave to make more dreams happen.
Bad Blood will offer an amazing ashcan comic featuring the creative talent of Matt Groom, Kyle Higgins (Radiant Black/Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), and Nicoletta Baldari (Marvel Comics, Walt Disney, Konami) on top of Kelly's beautifully illustrated playing cards and a mysterious journal filled with secrets only you can unlock.

S4E2: Let's Discuss Character Development
Welcome back, true listeners!
This week I felt it would be beneficial to go over what I learned from Brian's Masterclass on Character Development, followed by what I know and use in my own character development. This topic is one of the most crucial stages of story development when constructing a fictional narrative. Beware some of the life lessons I share here, too, because writing equates to experience.

S3EP13: Comics & Pop-tarts Presents - Jean Paul Deshong (Blackberry Juice Publishing)
Tonight I'm so excited to have discovered a like-minded connoisseur of Japanese culture, history, and anime who shares in my passion for the comic and pop-culture medium. We go into depth on topics like content appropriation for children and how parents can best determine what content is right for their kids. We swap views on character tropes and studies using Joker and Thanos as an example. Finally, we discuss Jean's book Sonso: Sons of Fate, and his inspiration for writing this story above all others. We talk so much that this episode is a longer-than-normal tarty-kind-of-party, so strap up kids. It's about to get fun! Welcome to the tart cave!

S3EP11: Wild Oni Update, She-Hulk, & Daredevil: Born Again?
Tonight I'm bringing you some pretty cool updates on Wild Oni, addressing a request from a colleague, and shamelessly plugging all my creator's friends that I can think of who have books out there right now. I briefly give my take on She-Hulk and Daredevil: Born Again series coming to us soon and pleasantly ends on an uplifting note about my teammates at Inked Studios and how blessed I am to be a part of their great cause, which might be your dream. Con's are back, creators are busy, and the fall leads us to an exciting gift-giving holiday; what better time to give than our creators, even if it's just a share.

S3EP9: Ms. Marvel Review, Jaded Disney Series, & Professor Exposito?
Tonight I'm stepping into the deep end with my views on color, race, and sexual orientation in comics and why it has no business in existing comic characters. I'm also bringing up the topic of the Disney + series, its slow-failing structure, and how it's held back an iconic character from reaching her best version. Tonight I just don't give a Korg, and if you're offended, then I apologize, but it needed to be said.
