My conversation with Joel Watson from Episode 6 of Compulsory went about fifteen minutes longer than what’s included; this bonus episode is the remainder of our chat. We talked primarily about stay-at-home working parenting, and I enjoyed the conversation so much that I didn’t want it to languish alone and un-listened-to on my harddrive forever.
Joel is a cartoonist who writes and draws a webcomic called HijiNKS Ensue, which he describes as “a semi-autobiographical comic about a lifelong geek and aspiring artist who turns his back on an unfulfilling but financially stable career in order to pursue art full time and set a better example for his daughter.” I first interviewed him for Make It Mighty Ugly, and it’s been a treat to catch up with him again for the podcast.

- Craftcation Conference, at the end of March 2015, where I’ll moderate a panel on this exact topic with some very smart, very interesting women.

Is there someone you’d love to hear in conversation about the things they simply can’t help but make? Let me know!
