Canadian Media un-King Jim Munroe took a few moments away from his own table [where we were hawking our new book] to interview one of his all time favorite comic creators, Carla Speed McNeil. He's posted the podcast here on his site, just had a listen now, it's a good one. Also along with that is a cool post about Cons, an 8 point list for how to have fun with them.
