Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inkpulp Podcast #297 | Dave Baker
Q: What advice do you have for podcasting and self-publishing?
Focus on delivering an emotional through-line in your pitch and every episode, be consistent in output, and treat publishing as a long-term relationship where ownership and voice remain yours.
Inkpulp Podcast #270 | Rob Liefeld
Q: Do you love comics or do you have superhero comics?
Rob explains that he loves a broad range of comics, including Stray Bullets, Bone, Elfquest, and indie works, not just superheroes, and emphasizes engagement with diverse material.
Inkpulp Podcast #268 | Marc Deering
Q: What changed in the industry that makes inkers feel pushed out?
Marc explains that advances in technology, faster deadlines, and stronger influence of colorists and production teams have shifted the final look away from traditional inking as the finishing step.
Inkpulp Podcast #275 | Jorge Corona
Q: What was the turning point for your career?
Jorge credits Middle West as the moment when people started recognizing him as an artist in his own right, not just as a participant on a book, which broadened his opportunities.
Inkpulp Podcast #274 | Jake Parker
Q: How should a creator balance finishing a large fantasy project with getting it out to readers?
Focus on finishing the core draft (ideally inks completed) to maintain quality and consistency, then decide whether to publish piecemeal or wait for a full release; use Kickstarter strategically as a marketing tool or as a prelude to a traditional publisher depending on goals and funding needs.
