It's hard to overstate the importance of DJ Ben Ha Meen's work as an influence to my career as a podcaster. And what's crazier is I didn't even realize it. Today, Ben Ha Meen stops by to talk about his early days, influences in comics and music, how DJing made him cool, the legacy of The Combat Jack Show, and how his first graphic novel came about. We even talk about why most comic podcasts just don't work. It's an entertaining listen, for sure.

Warning: This episode contains strong language throughout.
