#191: MONSTER by the Month 06 (w/Jordan Morris) - "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein!"

Jordan Morris is the creator of the hilarious sci-fi gig-economy dystopia podcast Bubble, which he adapted into an Eisner-nominated graphic novel with co-writer Sarah Morgan, artist Tony Cliff, and colorist Natalie Riess for First Second. He's also slightly less than one-half (by height) of the long-running, premise-less, and equally hilarious podcast Jordan Jesse GO! which he's been making with fellow UC Santa Cruz alum Jesse Thorn for longer than some of their listeners have been alive.
