This week, your hosts DJ Kemit and Jessa B sit down to speak with Zach Wolfe. Zach moved to Atlanta with hope and a dream: to shoot Outkast and become a hip-hop photographer. 20 years later, and he’s made that dream a reality, shooting Andre 3000, Three Six Mafia, Big Boi, 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane and most of the iconic rappers who put Atlanta on the map -- past and present. Since then, he’s started shooting NBA players and athletes as well as taken a dive into the film world as a cinematographer . Listen to how he got his start, where he got his first big break and his stories of partying with Lil Jon, T.I. and much more.

On the latest episode of 6 Feet of Separation, your hosts sit down with comic book creator, podcaster and educator Shawn Crystal. Shawn tells us what made him change his mind from wanting to be an animator when he grew up to wanting to create comics and how he landed his first job working for DC Comics in grad school. He also tells us how he did not find success in the comic book world after that for another 10 years.

Listen as he talks about his most recent project, Inkpulp Instruction, and how Covid has impacted his art, creativity and passions.
