Let’s Talk Comics has quickly become my most anticipated weekly podcast. Jim is a great interviewer always asking thoughtful inside industry questions with a nice mix of more accessible ones for casual readers as well. With back to back episodes with David Finch and Jason Fabok I finally had to leave a review. The sense of community this show makes me feel like I’m in a private club and everyone is invited.
