About this episode

Comedian Jordan Morris discusses his experiences growing up in a youth group and how they influenced his graphic novel 'Youth Group'.

In this episode, comedian and podcaster Jordan Morris describes growing up as a youth group kid in Orange County, and how those experiences informed his new graphic novel Youth Group, which treats its faith-filled characters with nuance and genuine affection rather than cheap satire. In the Patron-only second half, we get into the DIY ethos that both church basements and punk rock scenes share, the appeal of making the supernatural literal in his storytelling, and his ongoing creative collaborations with Rhett and Link of Good Mythical Morning.
