Badr Milligan from The Short Box: A Comic Book Talk Show is one of my favorite interviewers. And like a true interviewer, he took over this episode midway through. Listen to find out:

• Why Badr is so passionate about Podcasting
• How Badr got into comics
• How my love for underground rap led directly to this comics gig
• How we singlehandedly fixed Comic Book Marketing

Also, I promise to never mention my grandmother's house comic origin again after this episode. I'm retiring the story! lol
