A brush with... · A brush with... Pio Abad · 30 Jun 2026 podcast

But mainly when I'm working, I like listening to podcasts where I'm kind of eavesdropping on conversations.

I'm sad it's over now, but WTF by Mark Maron.

He's like an American comedian who...

who really pioneered the sort of long form conversation that's been kind of since co-opted by, I don't know, the right... Bad actors.

Yeah, by bad actors.

But I think he ended it last year.

But, you know, it's conversations with actors, with politicians, with comedians, with musicians.

And it's, you know, it's an hour and a half long conversation.

I don't know, his vulnerability and his, like, empathy is infectious.

And so you get these conversations.

And I like this idea that I'm just kind of eavesdropping on these chats while I'm drawing.

And it tends to be like on either end of the spectrum.

It's either like having really bad sitcoms that you just kind of don't even have to look up.

Or like I love Willem Dalrymple as a historian, but I've made peace with the fact that I will never really have time to read all of his books.

And so I've just been listening to his audio books of him reading it.

And he's such a great narrator.

And so it's low and high, sometimes one after the other.

Get a bit of whiplash in the studio.

I'd say film.

I mean, I don't have any ambitions to make moving image work.
