Diversity Issues Podcast

In this special Episode, we are excited to welcome guests Jeremy Whitley and Bre Indigo to the show. We talk with them about their new comic The Dog Knight.

"A nonbinary middle schooler saves a dog from bullies and is offered the chance to become the Dog Knight, protector of a magical pact between humans and dogs, in the first book of this humorous and heartwarming middle-grade graphic novel series from Jeremy Whitely, author of Princeless , and Bre Indigo, illustrator of Meg, Jo, Beth, and A Graphic Novel."

We had the pleasure and privilege of speaking with GLAAD award nominated writer Jadzia Axelrod as part of Color of Fandom's V-Con. In this interview, we talk to Jadzia about her graphic novel Galaxy: The Prettiest Star from DC comics, and a bit about her soon to be released works DC: Book of Pride, and Hawkgirl.

Jadzia Axelrod is an author and illustrator with notable works such as "Frankenstein's Support Group For Misunderstood Monsters," a comic about monsters and feelings. She is also the writer and producer of the award-winning podcast, "The Voice Of Free Planet X."

This episode is another panel Robyn did with Color of Fandom at Ret-Con. They talk about the horror genre in various mediums and how that interacts with the Black experience. They discuss both viewing horror media from a Black perspective, and discuss what makes something Black horror.

We are kicking of season 4 with a series of panels that Robyn recorded at Ret-Con in Cary NC. For this panel, Robyn is joined by some of our friends from Color of Fandom. They talk about comic book film and television adaptations including what makes a good one, and some of the pitfalls. One correction: In regard to the release of Y the Last Man, it was released during the George W. Bush presidency.

Ret-Con is a speculative fiction conference base in Cary NC.
