Wading into "The Grot" | Dr Pat Grant

What's the Grot? Or, what happens to form The Grot?

A barely recognisable, muddy dystopia of a future? Or, a near at hand present with just a slap of mud and touch of humour?

Eav Brennan explores graphic novel The Grot with author Pat Grant, and get into why he made it, what it reflects, and what he hopes you take away from it.

You can already read it for free on his site, so get the director's commentary here while you're at it, you beautiful cheapskates!

Mark Spencer

Hello!
I'm Mark, and I'm a podcast addict. I've turned my tens of thousands of misbegotten hours binging history, comedy, and everything in-between into being a keen collaborator on audio projects (climate, local stories, place-based audio especially).

I work with passionate people to turn their ideas into published projects, when I'm not working in the renewable energy space in Naarm/Melbourne.
