Episode 9: Extraplasm: Conversation Unleashed with John Yurcaba IV

This week accomplished artist, writer, storyteller, and Ghostbusters super fan John Yurcaba IV joins the podcast as guest co-host! John is an outstanding print and digital media artist who has produced official Ghostbusters artwork for Ghost Corps and who has worked in the comic book industry as an artist on IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers: Beast Wars, and Godzilla: Monsters & Protectors titles. John has worked to design t-shirts and prints for Ghost Corps and worked to develop the program artwork, signage, banners, and product designs for Ghostbusters Fan Fest in 2019! We review the new Illfonic video game, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, and talk about its potential as a platform for new Ghostbusters stories and lore, before taking the conversation for a joyride through the week's headlines (and some side quests).  Then John shares stories of how he got involved in creating comic and print artwork -- including his stories of working with Wizard World and Ghost Corps on Ghostbusters Fan Fest and an unproduced line of convention style merchandise that never materialized!
