¡Holla! I'm Henry Barajas. You might know me as the writer of Death to Pachuco and Gil Thorp! This is my podcast about comics, pop culture, and sports. Mainly, L.A. Clippers Basketball.
Tucson is a medium sized city with the small town feel. But you'd be surprised how small Hollywood can be. Tucson's own Henry Barajas and Peter Murrieta discuss writing, talk the Dirty T, and Peter's new SOLD OUT comic: Rafael Garcia: Henchman!
