Episode Description

In this episode, Ioannis Ntanos (he/him) sits down with Harry Saxon (he/him), an illustrator and comic colourist from Greece whose work spans acclaimed projects like Vagrant Queen, Killer Queens, and Sex Death Revolution. The conversation centres around Harry's deeply personal latest project, Telemachus and the Fleece - a partially autobiographical graphic novel that weaves together themes of imposter syndrome, grief, and the experience of living as a queer artist navigating multiple worlds.

Through the lens of Greek mythology, Harry and Ioannis explore what it means to carry culture across borders as immigrants, and how identity becomes layered and complex when you exist at the intersection of multiple communities. This episode pushes back against the tendency to view trans experiences as monolithic, instead celebrating the rich diversity of stories, backgrounds, and artistic visions within the trans community.

Tune in for an insightful and moving conversation about art as activism, trans masculinity, cultural heritage, and the vital work of creating visibility for underrepresented voices in media.
