Genuine Chit-Chat

It’s Genuine Chit-Chat’s 250th episode, and for this momentous occasion, Mike has invited two of his favourite people; Tonya Todd and Tony (A.R.) Farina, to talk about their recent book; Comics Lit Volume 1, which is a essay collection with a foreword by Bryan Edward Hill, and essays by Alyson Shelton, Eric Lee, Kelly Gaines, Seth Singleton, AA McCartney, Heath Fodor, A.R. Farina, Tonya Todd and Anthony D. Holt Jr. In more detail, Mike and T&T talk about where the idea for Comics Lit came from and it’s journey from there to being published. They talk about getting Bryan Edward Hill on board, and then talk about the collaboration with the other contributors, and how many of the essays evolved over time. The trio also discuss the editing & ordering process and the future volumes of Comics Lit, as well as the content within many of the essays and how important it is for comics to be considered high art alongside prose writing.

Author, educator, podcaster and all-round great guy Tony Farina is back to GCC for an extra special 2 hour long conversation spanning all sorts of topics! This week is part 1 of their conversation (part 2 will be out next week but is available now for all Patreons) and in this part there are several tangents but the duo begin by discussing the idea of recording every waking moment and mobile/cell phone access, before the monarchy comes up including Elizabeth I, II and Mary Queen Of Scots which flows into England’s impact on world religion, the whole bizarre concept of having a Royal Family and this part ends with a “what-if” scenario! Next week, in part 2, Mike & Tony first discuss close political voting and political apathy, but they then talk about the importance of language & compassion and delve back into religion from a moral perspective, before delving into Tony’s first published novel; Welcome To Mansfield.
