SERIOUS Q&A: VOLUME ONE Sep 19, 2017

Show notes

Ever wanted to get to know Levins and Shinbone a little better? How about 70 minutes of probing questions better?

That's exactly what this episode is! 50+ questions as asked by YOU, about comics and also lots of other things that have nothing to do with comics.

This was an absolute blast to do, thanks so much to everyone who sent us a question - sorry we completely butchered the pronunciation of your surname! Or maybe that's why you submitted the question in the first place?

This episode exists thanks to our Patreon supporters! If you would like to hear more extra content like this please considering pledging your support too!

Episode 77: A Great Week For Dogs Sep 11, 2017

Show notes

It was a great week for dogs in comics this week. Especially teleporting giant dogs. And dogs who can fuse bodies with humans. Also, a great week for having sex with beautiful cat men! Overall it was a very good week in comics, so to celebrate we recorded a slightly above average episode of Serious Issues!

We also recorded a 70 minute Q&A episode today too! You can hear it by signing up to our Patreon page at http://patreon.com/seriousissuespodcast and getting access to our secret bonus Patreon episode feed!
