Signals From The Hill #38 – Steve Walsh

This month is a tough episode in that it marks the last episode of Signals From The Hill that will be hosted by this podcast’s founder and our Head Of Sales, Steve Walsh. The whole team chat with Steve about his time in comics, from childhood reads, to building the graphic novel section in Waterstones’ flagship store, his time running the small press section at Gosh! Comics and then coming to work for Avery Hill.

Content Warning for friends of Steve. It contains some bad news about his health that, if you don’t already know the extent of, you might not want to find out in this way. So maybe don’t listen to this until you’ve had a chance to speak to Steve or someone close to him.

Signals From The Hill #37 – Warren Bernard on A City Inside

This month we talk to Warren Bernard, the Executive Director of SPX, all about the importance of that show and it’s related activities such as the Ignatz Awards, the Graphic Novel Gift Program and building the SPX Collection in the Library of Congress in Washington. We also talk about Warren’s appreciation of Tillie’s work and his role in the production of Alone In Space.

This month we’re joined by Gina Gagliano, the Publishing Director of Random House Graphic and someone who worked in the Marketing department at First Second as Tillie Walden released books like Spinning and Are You Listening? with them.

Signals From The Hill #35 – Ricky Miller on The End of Summer

This month we talk to Ricky Miller all about how Tillie Walden came to work with Avery Hill Publishing and the impact of her debut book, The End of Summer, on the wider comics industry and the direction of Avery Hill as an ongoing concern.
