Our first foray into Podcastery lasted an hour and a half. So as not to destroy the synapses in the minds of those who dare to listen, we have courteously split it into two smaller FunSize editions.

Some of the things discussed in this episode:

• Why we chose webcomics as our particular medium.
• Scifi cliches – when they work and when they don’t.
• Comparing science fiction and fantasy.
• Writing a long-form comic.
• The importance of technology in science fiction.
• What scifi fans are after.
