We kick off into the new styled podcast with the first of Ian and Nicole's episodes. They will be entitled The Interviews and will focus and continue our tradition of talking to the best names in comics. Mike and Pete will be back with their episodes of Yakapedia in the New Year.
We start with political cartoonist Martin Rowson. Martins cartoons have appeared in a wide variety of newspapers and magazines including The Guardian, The Independent on Sunday and The Daily Express. He has also had success with poetry books, comics such as the Communist Manifesto, and was appointed the Cartoonist Laurette for London in 2001.
Martin comes on the show to talk about his career, how he got into political cartooning and what exactly was in the cocktail, the Martin Rowson. There's no introduction to the episode sadly as the podcast household has been struck with that virus. We want to wish all our listeners a Happy Christmas and here's to 2022.

We have managed to hit 100 episodes on the Lakes International Comic Art Festival Podcast. To celebrate we invite Awesome Comics Podcast host Tony Esmond on to interview Nikki, Ian, Pete and Mike about the podcast and comics. He delves deep into our time as podcast hosts and asks some deep and not so deep questions. It was a blast to record and we hope you enjoy it.
We also talk about the move the Lakes Comic Art Festival is taking next year, moving from Kendal to Bowness on Windermere which is sounding very positive. Big thanks for the past 100 episodes goes to Pete and Mike for their help in running the show, the Lakes Festival team, Julie Tate and John Freeman for whom without their help the podcast wouldn't be possible.
If you enjoy the show and want to help support us please give us a review on any podcast device.

On episode 96 we chat to comic creator Lyndon White. Lyndon has been creating comics for over 8 years and has produced a huge range of comics and graphic novels including Sparks, The Mind of James Svengal and his latest book Candles. Candles, a fantasy epic about a young girl trying to save her drying village by stealing magic from an evil witch. Lyndon also discusses his comic degree and has some great advice for creators starting out in the comic world. You can find his book which is published by Cast Iron Books on kickstarter now.
Pete and Mike are off this week however Pete has a kickstarter for a new project currently up and running. Back in the day, the determined funny book fan spent weekends and Summer holidays searching the shelves of every newsagent, paper shop and drug store for the fantastic thrill of discovering a full colour floppy bundle of joy that was a comic book. But occasionally, if you were lucky, you would hit the jackpot and find a sealed pack of childhood gold that was the comic pack. Not one, not two but three sensational stories for a bargain price, bagged and protected from the pawing of other collector's clammy mitts. Check it out on Kickstarter now, just search for Catfood Comics.

A different episode this time as rather than interviewing a creator we pick Pete Taylors brains on how to create a comic. We start from the beginning with thinking up ideas to writing and then drawing the comic. Finally we finish with what many creators believe is the hardest part and promotion.

We review Square #16 Summer Dairies by Ian M which as it says is a day to day comic of Ian's life. We also look at The Smell of Starving Boys by Frederik Peters and Loo Hui Phang which follows an exploration into the territories of the west of Mississippi as a group of three map an area they hope one day will support a new civilisation.
