For more than 20 years, Terry Moore has been telling compelling, real stories about characters that his readers feel emotionally connected to. And he manages to cover some pretty hefty issues, like PTSD, war, sexual orientation to name a few, while giving us truly entertaining comics. Erik and I wanted to know how he balances that so well. And since we were lucky enough to sit down with Terry, we asked him questions about his music career; other comics; possible new genre options for Strangers in Paradise; and other interesting tidbits. Terry was an amazing guest who offered us a peek under the ink. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording! Strangers in Paradise has won 2 GLAAD Media Awards and Terry has been nominated more than any other comic book author for GLAAD Media Awards and was nominated again in 2019. His work has won him recognition in the comics industry, including the Eisner Award for Best Serialized Story in 1996 for Strangers in Paradise #1-8, which was collected in the trade

Uber and Lyft have a business model based on exploiting loopholes in labor laws. Aicila and Erik talk about the gig economy and their limited understanding of labor laws and why we care about this. According to the Techtarget: A gig economy is a free market system in which temporary positions are common and organizations contract with independent workers for short-term engagements.

We chatted with Theresa Christine about being a travel writer. She spends about 1/3 of the year away from home. We wanted to know how someone strikes the balance between doing what she loves and also being a good partner & feeling like she isn't missing out on life at home.She recently got tired of the sort of stereotypical travel Instagram photos and the plethora of travel listicles out there, so she started my own newsletter, Delve. This is where she shares meaningful travel stories. These are quite often more personal or have a more artistic feel to them so they're harder things to sell to magazines. It's basically a chance for people to peek into her travel diary or find out something a little deeper about a destination she visits.Tags: travel, writing, freelance, home, family
