Folks it was a pleasure to interview Greg Gates, one of the nicest blokes in Aussie comics, for this podcast. As it happens meeting Greg was in effect the pebble in the pond that started the ripples that led to 'Beardy And The Geek'. Listen in to learn why.

Ryan and I talk to Greg about his time in comics, the highs and lows of the national scene, his involvement in Minotaur in Melbourne, as well as his mentoring of younger artists over the years - not forgetting his upcoming work with Jason Franks on the new volume of Sixsmiths!

We also officially declare the 'Tim McEwen Drinking Game' with this episode, because the man has been mentioned in almost a dozen episodes so far.

As always, let us know your thoughts on the show either here or on iTunes, or follow Emmet and Ryan on Twitter and drop us a line - @emmetoc_ and @GeekOfOz.
