Over Halloween weekend, Derek was at the Wizard World Comic Con event in Austin, TX. There, he had the good fortune to talk with several creators, publishers, and a couple of fellow podcasters in attendance. In this episode you'll hear brief interviews with:

Danielle, who was overseeing the Action Lab Comics display
Jen and Angela of Anomaly, the geek girl podcast
Victor Dandridge, president and CEO of Vantage: Inhouse Productions
Amber, Melanie, and Isabella, students who work on  the comics section of the University of Texas' student paper The Daily Texan
Jonathan Hennessey, coauthor of The Comic Book Story of Beer
and Austin and Robert of Bogus World Books.

Despite the heavy rains and flooding, the Wizard World con was well attended. It being Halloween weekend, one couldn't really tell whether the cosplaying left off and All Hallows' Eve began. Major creators as well as local artists attended the event, and Derek took the opportunity to talk with those whose work reflected the independent and small-press nature of the podcast.
