“The Funny Ha-Has” - The Azeem Jimoh Interview

This week! Candace the Magnificent and Jeremy Cobb are joined by content creator and voice actor Azeem Jimoh, also known as BlackPurist. Azeem shares his nerdy origins, from his favourite Sonic game to the creators who inspired him to start making content, and how Ryan Higa’s work led him into content creation and voice acting. The conversation dives into overlooked were-creatures, including the criminally underrated were-sloth, and highlights Azeem’s wider work, including his in-depth video on racism in fantasy and how race is constructed in fictional worlds.

This week! Jeremy Cobb and Candace the Magnificent are joined by Jennifer Kretchmer, a multi-talented writer, producer, actor, consultant, and tabletop creative whose work spans storytelling, performance, and game design.
