Segment: Interview: Jordan Morris - podcaster at Jordan Jessie Go!, writer at @Midnight and Unikitty, Bubble of course!

Friday at 5:30 EST

1. Jordan, thank you for joining the AIPT Comics podcast______ Bubble is an incredible achievement, not only for its podcast but now comic and soon animated film, just to start, how has it been to get a brand new response from comics fans?
2. How did this adaptation with First Second come about?
3. I understand Bubble was created in response to the election in 2016 and the series sprouted from the idea of a Portland-y hipster biosphere, can you talk a little bit about if or how the comic differs from the podcast?
4. You’re joined by Sarah Morgan and Tony Cliff, what was the collaboration process like in adapting Bubble?
5. Colin Moon, who reviewed Bubble at AIPT, asks: I'm really curious how the writing went from podcast script to comic script--what was cut to work better for each media type, how the scripting differs between two projects, etc.
6. You’ve written for numerous shows now like @Midnight, came up from UCB, I wanted to ask, how did your career start? Did you go to school for screenwriting? What’s your writing background like?
7. The descriptions for each of the creatures are so unique and fun. Any chance of a Bubble Sourcebook in the future?
8. Music plays a huge part in this story and the character’s personalities. Morgan is seen listening to several playlists throughout the book. Do you listen to any particular music to get you in the zone?
9. I guess what we really want to know is: How do you really feel about 311?
10. Do you have an itch to write more comics?
11. What comics are you reading right now?
