S'more Stories

THE CAMPFIRE HAS RETURNED! Or rather, my friend Akira Brown of Wildstar Press has returned TO the campfire, and for the third time, no less! After successfully completing the Kickstarter campaign for their new anthology, How We Made The Moon Cry, Akira was ready to take the plunge yet again and write a story for the podcast! We also chat about their love for the editing process, Godzilla, and so much more. Truly, it felt so good to be doing this podcast again, and I've got some plans for future episodes as well, so stay tuned!Be sure to check out the anthology and the many other books Wildstar Press has released:Wildstar Press ShopAkira's Blog + hiring infoSocials:@blubat_@wildstarpress

Hello! We have returned to the campfire after nearly an entire year away! This episode is all about my brand new comic, LIGHTSPEED DELIVERY, and the current Kickstarter campaign I've got going for it. As of this episode's publish date, there are FIVE days remaining, and we're SO close to hitting our goal. Follow the Kickstarter here, where you can read the first six pages absolutely free! And yes, I do have a short story to read for you, set directly in the world of Lightspeed Delivery! Check out the Average White Band song I mentioned HEREPurchase zines/books at our Kofi page!

After a VERY long hiatus, the campfire once more called me back to chat about writing and storytelling, and I'm SO glad it did. I missed this!And this new episode in particular is a celebration! Our returning guest, Robert Carnes, just published his BRAND NEW book, The Storymancer, through Blue Ink Press!! I was so excited to talk about the process of putting that story together, as well as how it got published, and Robert (as usual) gives us all some fantastic insight into the process. Just a delightful conversation, and I really enjoyed both of the stories we shared for this episode! Man, I gotta do more of these. Be sure to purchase The Storymancer and Serial Box below!https://www.jamrobcar.com/storymancer/https://www.jamrobcar.com/serialbox/Bluesky - jamrobcarThanks for listening!

An episode years in the making! I've been a fan of Matt Bivins and his MANY skills for such a long time, it was an absolute delight to finally meet him up in his neck of the woods in Chicago. I loved both this conversation AND the story that he wrote, plus his wise insight on creativity. We talked a lot about community in this episode, so get out there and FIND YOUR PEOPLE.

For this episode of S'more Stories, I was joined by another delightful guest from across the northern border! Canadians are just the nicest, aren't they. Josh Tierney is an accomplished writer with works published by Viz Media, WebToons, and soon to be Wildstar Press! This was such a fun conversation and I feel like I learned SO much.

We're trying to get the year started off strong (even if we don't feel all that great about what's going on in the world), so we decided to head up to the mountains and WRITE.That was my goal, at least. Our guests, Seth McKay and Collin McHugh (my brother) have their own things to work on, but the goal was simple: be creative for a weekend.And of course, we had to do a third edition of the S'more Stories patented ONE HOUR CHALLENGE, in which we give ourselves one hour to write a story, and then immediately read it on air. It's terrifying and weirdly, a blast. So have fun with your THREE stories this episode!And check out Seth's YouTube channelSeth Of All Trades!!

First episode of 2025 is done! I had a delightful and wide ranging conversation with the Chicago-based cartoonist Leo Mancini! We met last year at a zine fest we both tabled at and I was so excited to chat with and get to know Leo a little better!

Matt returns to the campfire! We love it when a former guest just can't stay away, don't we? Spreading the love of writing and storytelling is exactly what this podcast is all about so I always welcome anyone who catches the bug! It's also so exciting to see someone show that they're a GREAT WRITER in real time, just like Matt. So we already can't wait to have him back to complete the trilogy! Writing is great, ya'll. Check out the THUNDER ROAD short film here! And order YOUR copy of Mish Mash here so you can read some of Matt's writing! We'll ship to you!

An episode two years in the making! Brittnee Weiland, wonderfully talented designer of the podcast and fiance to me (Colby), joins the campfire FINALLY! And she did us the generous favor of writing a story too! I think everyone will enjoy this conversation from a couple of cuties. I already can't wait to have her back, now that she's a pro podcaster, reader, AND writer. Everyone who listens should DM/text her and tell her how good the story is so she'll wanna come back! And buy Mish Mash HERE!! stay toasty everyone 🔥
