Elana Levin is the host of the Graphic Policy Radio podcast, where they talk about about comics, genre movies and television through the lens of politics and social change. They’ve written about Jack Kirby for The Daily Beast and talked about him on SyFy and Jack Kirby Museum livestreams, so you can imagine how excited we were to be able to have them join us!
