39. What's It Like to Make Yourself The Lead Character? | Chat with VIBE CHECK!'s Uche
Description
Hi everybody, we’re joined today by Uche, the creator behind the wildly hilarious Webtoon Original, Vibe Check. And as personal updates, Akhil has been traveling across the world and I’ve been relocating cross country so we appreciate everyone’s patience as we’ve been away the past few weeks. But we have so many amazing episodes in the queue so we’re excited to be back.
We had a lot of fun unpacking Uche’s story, including what it’s like to portray himself as a squishy, imperfect lead character in his series and the resulting vulnerability, discuss the loving support he’s gotten from his fans who aren’t afraid to also be hilarious, and talk through the underrepresentation of black creators on Webtoon and what can be done about it, and so much more.
