S04E07: @jordanboltondesign — Life and Longing on the Instagram Carousel

Ring in the new year with Comic Sans by… opening Instagram?! At the stroke of midnight, Yan slides into Nat's DMs to share the poetry comics of Jordan Bolton (IG: @jordanboltondesign). Still a little bubbly from all the champagne, our hosts discuss photo dumps and page turns, carousels and caesuras, and the many ways that comics connect us across time and space.
