The third episode of our monthly roundup podcast- the podcast for new updates in Graphic Medicine, interviews and more! Our podcast hosts are Alex Thomas (https://boostershotmedia.com/) and MK Czerwiec (https://comicnurse.com/.)
After an extended fun opening chat, this month we interview Ellen Forney – cartoonist, mental health coach, and therapist-in-training – about her new book The Adventures of You! How to Write, Draw, and Star in Your Own Comics.
It is a great chat in which we discuss the new book, her “comics origin story,” embracing a “multihyphenate” life and the newspaper comic strips we loved reading as children.
