Gutter Boys

Episode 139 - Ballwell with David Caldwell

Mind the blicky, Gutter Boys are coming with a nice fat episode with a CLASSICO-style intro where the boys cover the news and random bits of chatter like we used to do. In the second half, Cam talks with David Caldwell, friend of the show and cartoonist based out of Knoxville, TN. David is a consummate road warrior, doing show after show across the country to sell his wares. They talk about his body of work, his experiences on the road, and a bit of process talk that some of you freaks love to hear.

Episode 137 - Go Birds with Connie Myers

The evil infidels of KC are defeated by the People's Republic of Philadelphia, Drake is humiliated on two national stages, and the Gutter Boys are getting back to a semi-regular schedule. The world is finally healing.
On this episode, we're joined with Philly's own Connie Myers to talk about the one thing this podcast is allegedly about: COMICS. We discuss her influences, her early work and how it's developed over the past few years, her newest book Big Gamble Rainbow Highway, and what it means to be a cartoonist in a growing hostile multimedia world dominated by giant tech companies.

Episode 134 - Gutter Punk with Bianca Xunise & Raeghan Buchanan

LATE BUT NOT NEVER. We're joined with past guest Bianca Xunise and first-time guest Raeghan Buchanan in a two-for-one shop talk. Both have been actively touring to support their respective books: Bianca's Punk Rock Karaoke (Penguin) and Raeghan's 2nd edition printing of The Secret History of Black Punk (Silver Sprocket). We talk about their books, what it's been like on the road in Europe, the overlap of comics and punks, being black in predominately white spaces, and why southern food is better than the garbage served in the midwest.

Episode 131 - The Mormon Mash with Steve Thueson

GOOD EVENING GUTTER GHOULS. So we're late. What's new? Cam is still on a break, but JB isn't alone left to ponder on what bumps in the night. Instead, he's visited by the spooky specter of Philly-based cartoonist Steve Thueson to welcome the first week of what is sure to be a monstrous month of October. Steve shares his process of making his newest book The Night Never Ends (Silver Sprocket Press), how he got into comics thru punk zines, his favorite horror movies, how his upbringing in the Mormon Church has effected his outlook on the world, and his transition into a stay-at-home wife guy.
