Ep. 147 – Zehra Fazal
From the mean streets of Libertyville to the slightly meaner streets of Happy Harbor, Rhode Island, with a slight detour into New York City by night.
Zehra Fazal took the convention-panel-audience-member to convention-panelist pipeline thanks to a push from an animation legend, and it got her jobs on Young Justice, Borderlands 3, and a slew of emotionless AI and computer voices. Zehra talks with Evan about her early artistic dreams, working for the Big 2 comic publishers, and what it’s like to work with Butthead. She also answers a spooky question from Stephanie Southerland.
