On Location - Talking with Creators at Wizard World Comic Con Austin 2015 - a podcast by Stergios Botzakis & Derek Royal
from 2015-11-02T11:57:50
Over Halloween weekend, Derek was at the Wizard World Comic Con event in Austin, TX. There, he had the good fortune to talk with several creators, publishers, and a couple of fellow podcasters in attendance. In this episode you'll hear brief interviews with:
- Danielle, who was overseeing the Action Lab Comics display
- Jen and Angela of Anomaly, the geek girl podcast
- Victor Dandridge, president and CEO of Vantage: Inhouse Productions
- Amber, Melanie, and Isabella, students who work on the comics section of the University of Texas' student paper The Daily Texan
- Jonathan Hennessey, coauthor of The Comic Book Story of Beer
- and Austin and Robert of Bogus World Books.
Despite the heavy rains and flooding, the Wizard World con was well attended. It being Halloween weekend, one couldn't really tell whether the cosplaying left off and All Hallows' Eve began. Major creators as well as local artists attended the event, and Derek took the opportunity to talk with those whose work reflected the independent and small-press nature of the podcast.
