In this episode, we have a conversation with Alaskan author K Jered Mayer. We talk about comics — their history and the difference between a nerd and a pop culture enthusiast — comics as an important form of storytelling, being an author and his writing process. We also get into politics, accountability, gun control, and the repercussions of a president who doesn't play by the traditional rules of democracy. We also discuss Jered's stepdad, Terry Stahlman, who escaped from prison and owned the Showboat strip club in Anchorage, Alaska.
