Pixels & Panels: A Show About Digital Storytelling

Hi everyone! We have a very special episode for you today. After many months of begging and persistance, our hard work paid off and we're pleased to bring you Steph Yeoh, the creator of Reunion on our pod.

Her series has been one of the scintillating stars of Webtoon, rocketing to over a million subs in less than a year, and cementing its place as the one of the most successful Originals series launched in the past year. Despite her success, we were impressed by her grounded attitude, her voracious desire to improve, and of course her amazing story. Hope you enjoy the listen.
