The Guild Returns & Felicia Day

It’s been a busy few months since the last newsletter. Here’s what you’ve missed:

Felicia Day known for her work as an Actor, Writer, Author, Mother. Known for her work in creating The Guild; Acting in the geek spheres we grew up in with Buffy, Supernatural, Dr. Horrible’s Sig-Along Blog, Eureka, The Magicians and hundreds more. Stopped by to talk about The Guild: Ren Faire’d reunion movie on Kickstarter.

With such a tight window to release the interview, I was able to put together a few short reels that have done really well:

Felicia Day refused to wait for Hollywood

Felicia Day: I want to Empower People!

Support The Guild: Ren Faire'd Kickstarter Campaign

Heading back to our Canadian roots; Canadian Country Band Deep Southwest; Pat & Meg Whalen joined the show to discuss their new Bell Fibe TV series: Deep Southwest directed by Director Daniel Turres (Fresh Meat). We talk about their band being misrepresented by CBC’s Canada’s Got Talent. How their latest album is a raw look at their lives through Country. How they’ve become “Chatham Famous” with the series and so much more!

Progress is Progress

I was looking through the Analytics of my YouTube channel from a Lifetime perspective seeing how it has been and what needs to change. It’s a macro look at where the show has been going. I won’t be monetized anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of the services and skillsets I have to offer with our Minimum and Maximum Packages available.

Interviews you may have missed in June / July

Madeleine Holly-Rosing is back for her eighth time (making her the third longest guest on the show, just behind Dirk Manning (11) and Trevor Mueller (13). We dive into Boston Metaphysical Society Hardback volume 3, her move to Oregon and the facts she never knew about a Boston building in all her years of research until now!

Author and YouTuber Kyle Lawrence joins Two Geeks Talking to unpack how he thinks about story across prose, comics, manga, and film, and why “tricking” the reader is really about guiding them through an emotional experience you’ve already mapped out. He digs into the making of ICHI! Number One Baseball Robot and Crumple, the craft challenges of having “too much freedom” in prose, and the specific feedback that actually moved the needle on his writing. We also get into the origin of his King Rex Comics YouTube channel , why knowing comics history (including the unsung creators) deepens your love of the medium, and how he navigates metrics, and self‑promotion without shouting into the void. If you write, read, or obsess over stories in any format, this episode is a masterclass in staying curious while still finishing the work.

Michael Barron and Jack Van Thomme join us to talk about The Secret Lives of Demon Hunters, a 24-page horror comic where personal stakes, sharp collaboration, and black-and-white art drive the story. We break down how they built the book, what the horror genre gets right and wrong, what Scott Snyder’s praise meant to Michael, and how constraint can make a comic hit harder. They also talk about the Kickstarter, the cover, the art process, and what this story may unlock for their next projects together.

Distance Nerding is an amazing show with a variety of hosts from YungPhil, JahMez 5000, FrayGirl as they talk about ANYTHING pop-culture, movies, music, food, wrestling… WHATEVER you’re NERDing out on, we want to talk about it!

Batman hot takes, live-show chaos, and pure geek joy—this episode of Two Geeks Talking is with Phil “YungPhil” Ferrey and Jenn “FrayGirl” McManus-Stillwell from Distance NERDing. From how to build a positive nerd community, while having absolutely unhinged fun to Unpacking why Batman & Robin might be the most hated Bat-movie ever. What goes on in the 24 hours before a Distance NERDing show, and how they keep tech failures and live-audience curveballs from derailing the vibe.
