Orbital In Conversation With Karl Asaa & Paul Gravett About Angouleme

By Chris Thompson

Following on from last Orbital in Conversation with the inspirational duo of Sepideh Jodeyri & Miss Lasko-Gross (which you can still listen to here), this week I'm joined by Karl from Orbital Comics to discuss our recent trip to Angoulême for the 42nd Festival de la Bande Dessinee d'Angoulême.

Karl and I discuss our history with the show, the numerous exhibitions we managed to see, some of the creators and fringe events we came across, and delve into the incredible swag we picked up along the way.

To close the show I chat with Paul Gravett about his memories of past festivals and how he felt about this year's show. If you've never had the chance to go, here's your chance to experience it vicariously through us!

Please note – the boutique publishers I refer to during the show are Original Watts, and I highly recommend you check them out. Hey, guys!

And never fear, you can still enjoy the Pop Culture Hound back-catalogue right here, as we continue to put out the same quality interviews and discussion with Orbital in Conversation going forward. It's only gonna get better, folks!
