Listen "S2E01: Avoiding The Tokenism in Comics & SciFi Cultures"
Episode Synopsis
Over the last four years, I have been promising to finish cleaning up the audio from the various panels that I have been on and improve the show notes. Now that GraysMatter Podcast is up and running, I have taken the time to also revisit these panels. Please join me in experiencing Justin on Panels.

With: Justin Grays, Rob Callahan, S.N. Arly, Tyler Tork, mod.
