The Panel Garden
It's an interview show where we talk to comics and nerd culture media creators about their passions, careers, and creative journies. What fuels creativity? What does creative genius look like up close? What inspires the art and artists that make it? We aim for interviews that crackle with creative energy and excitement. It's about the process, the craft, and the dreams behind the things we love.

I wanted to get this out there before publishing any additional episodes.
To keep you all abreast on why I have chosen to end the podcast.
That said, there are still at least 3 more episodes.
