Episode 97 – Lady Answers

This week, the boys invite Danica to the show to talk about the normal podcast stuff, like weekends, comics and House of Anubis (it’s so great, dudes!) but also to talk serious stuff. About gender! Basically, with all the news and discussion in the last week about the unacceptable ongoing treatment of women in the comics industry (and more broadly in society), it felt inappropriate to not talk with a woman we know about her experiences and the issue, and to mostly sit and listen.

Also, the word “dickbag” gets thrown around a lot. Stuff happens. Words get said. You know how it is on the mean streets of the middle class with a purring cat on your lap. You know.
