309. Chip Zdarsky on comics, CHIPCLASS and soap operas

When I hear the name Chip Zdarsky I think FUNNY. Most people might be thinking of the “Eisner award winning comic creator” … or about his work on Daredevil, Batman, Spiderman and Sex Criminals.

302. Brian Michael Bendis on creating new worlds and characters

I had so much fun catching up with comics creator Brian Michael Bendis. His newest comic book with artist André Lima Araújo, Phenomena, is a gorgeous fantasy adventure series which just hit shelves on September 14, 2022. Brian shares his inspiration for the series as well as his excitement and fears when creating new worlds and characters.

301. Greg Rucka on the importance of language

It’s another episode of The Mimi and Greg Show! We go typical Mimi and Greg style with tangents, current events and a good old fashioned Rucka Rant!

In this episode we discuss the importance of language and communication. Greg also shares his take on the ongoing investigation into Trump’s Mar-a-Lago docs.

297. Greg Rucka on pain, laughter and Lazarus update!

Greg Rucka and I pick up from our previous episode and philosophize about pain, therapy and learning as we age.

I know it sounds heavy, but we actually kept it light, (for us). We share some laughs and discuss why laughter truly is the best medicine.

293. Greg Rucka on The Old Guard 2, current events and entertainment

Greg Rucka has been busy on the set of The Old Guard 2. I can’t believe it’s been 4 months since our last podcast. It was great to catch up with Greg and hear about the ins and outs of the film production process. It wouldn’t be a typical episode without a Rucka rant on current events: Roe V Wade, voter suppression, gun control and the problematic Supreme Court.

290. Gene Luen Yang on writing Shang Chi, American Born Chinese and Monkey Prince

Gene Luen Yang is an award wining author and comic creator of American Born Chinese which is soon to be a television show on Disney+.

288. Brian K. Vaughan on comics, writing and life

I’m trying very hard to contain my excitement in this episode. Brian K. Vaughan is one of my favorite comic writers and I was thrilled he agreed to come on the show. He was so gracious to spend over an hour talking comics, writing, and
collaboration.

I am so grateful to share these thoughtful conversations with humans that I admire so greatly. Brian was kind enough to entertain all of my questions about his childhood, the inspiration behind his stories, and his favorite books and shows.
