Nuts & Bolts Podcasts
Whenever I'm driving to a faraway con, I like to listen to content about making comics. Here are two that are just off the hook!

This dynamic duo do amazingly detailed interviews of professionals in the graphic novel publishing industry about their work. Agents, Publicists, Distributors, etc!

You can tell David has really done his homework when he chats with comic book professionals. It's like he has their FBI file or something! 

As an old guy, that my friends is the very first time I've used "Off the hook!"

While not a podcast (yet!) I do interview local pros in front of a live audience in New York's Chelsea District.
