Summary

The return of Shelly Mazzanoble in the introduction is immediately felt when we talk about the Bachelor and D&D before setting up the rest of the segments. As for the interview, it's hard to be aware of the medium of comic books and not realize the effect Fiona Staples has had in the last decade. She has won multiple Eisner, Harvey, and Hugo awards for the series called Saga, a mature galaxy-spanning mashup of science-fiction & fantasy. Greg Tito and guest host Satine Phoenix interview Fiona about her process, and her love of Critical Role and D&D, and we hint at why she was in the office in the first place! Lore You Should Know - Chris Perkins goes into detail on that wonderfully tricky monster: the mimic! Here's a guide to when each segment on the podcast begins: 00:00: Intro with Greg Tito & Shelly Mazzanoble 14:00: Lore You Should Know with Chris Perkins 34:55: Interview with Fiona Staples 1:21:57: Outro with Greg Tito & Shelly Mazzanoble
