Awesome. You'll have to let us know what you think. I have no idea how many people have actually listened to it, as that podcast doesn't seem to have an active community at all. So there's no feedback on their end. But hopefully at least someone discovered our comic by listening to it. But even if it doesn't bring us much exposure, it was at least a learning experience. We definitely took some lessons away from it so we'll be better prepared for future podcast appearances.

I only got round to listening to this tonight but I'm glad that I did, haha thanks for the shout out guys!

I didn't notice the struggling not to swear so much, or maybe I just stopped looking for it after a while. That was a good interview I'd say, I never manage to talk about anything for an hour myself..

I spoke in a rather guarded way, doing little pauses to re-route sentences as I was speaking them, in order to stay in the family friendly zone (the lamest of zones). It stands out to me when I listen to it, but might not be so obvious to others.

Thanks. After it was done, there were all sorts of things that occurred to me that I wish I'd said, but that's pretty typical when it comes to these things. We were nervous to listen to it (especially Jessica), but it turned out better than we'd anticipated.

Rijst:
I think what this interview does better than a written one is show that you guys are really passionate about SN8X.

Matty2310:
I have to say that I agree with Jessica, in that it should only have references from 1980-1989, after all it's Satan Ninja 198X (which I think is the perfect name for the comic, encapsulates everything that it is) for a reason. Although it must be pretty painful to not be able to reference Total Recall.
Also, I've been reading and hearing about how you's want to expand the comics readership, which I have some ideas for.
First of all, on the New Retro Wave Youtube channel, whenever they upload a new video, there's always an 80s-esque picture to accompany it, quite a few in this comics style. I think your illustrations would be perfect for it. The channel has about 100,000 subscribers with around 10,000 views per video, and the kind of people who'd watch those videos are the EXACT kind of people who'd read your comic, so the comic could be advertised in the comments or video description.
Secondly, io9 has a thing where they're looking for artwork to be submitted, so you's could probably submit something to them. In fact, they could probably just run a story on your comic in general without a picture, since it has a lot of fantastical elements in it. Plus I think it has high readership figures.
So there's my ideas, do or not do what you want with them.

Rijst:
Hi Matty, totally off-topic but it's funny to see you use "you's" there. I've only heard that in Glasgow so far but apparently this is a thing in parts of Australia as well?
