April 17, 2021 - In the last few years, I've gotten back into watching ice skating, thanks largely in part to the incredible On Ice Perspectives, aka Jordan Cowan. He's a retired skater who has revolutionized the way skating fans can see their favorites on the ice (check out his YouTube and Instagram accounts). We chatted about his start in skating, the creation of On Ice Perspectives, and the importance of ice skating as an international sport.

As such, the closing question and comments about San Diego Comic-Con no longer apply.  January 27, 2020 - I sat down with Loryn Stone, the co-creator of the brand new Toon Con, which took place in November 2019.
