Customer Reviews
Great!
Helpful tips and funny stories told by comic professionals who want to share their experiences and hopefully help out amateurs trying to break into the comic scene. Can't wait for more!
Excellent Education & Entertainment
3 knowledgable, experienced, opinionated, articulate professionals dispense invaluable advice with humor and a genuine love of their field. Great for fans of Lean Into Art or A Happy Go Lucky Podcast: be warned, the language skews more towards the latter than the former.
Awesome podcast!
Wonderful hosts and great topics.
