Spencer Church
A former aspiring comic book artist, Spencer is the cohost of the DPW Podcast as well as a short story writer and avid reader.
Caleb opens the episode by describing how he would write a gripping story using one of Batman’s goofiest villains.
After that, we get into a discussion about the art of translating fiction. We read some popular excerpt translations of The Brothers Karamazov. This leads us down the road of good and bad translations we’ve read over the years, as well as our opinions on authors changing their novels years after release.
#222: Comic Book Confessions With Nick Ulanowski – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast
Today, we sit down with a past guest, journalist, poet, and owner of Starving Author Press, Nick Ulanowski. We discuss his Kickstarter for his newest book, Truth Before Comfort: Confessions of a Comic Book Journalist.
We dive into Nick's past working as a journalist and reviewer in the comic book industry, his views on corporate influence on art and media, the importance of separating art from the artist, and why he finds all this stuff so damn interesting.
