In a special BONUS episode of podcast Backed Up, hosts Becca Costello and Ella Rowen interview our very own Jay Kalagayan about the origins and research behind MeSseD Comics.

The only thing more surprising than a podcast about the sewer system is…. A comic book series about the sewer system?
- Ella Rowen, co-host
Backed Up, a podcast through Cincinnati Public Radio, strives to demystify one of the most complex systems of public infrastructure — our sewers.
I think we, the American society, we don't want to smell the landfill, we don't want to smell sewage, but it is part of everyday life... I think we need to have an awareness of these essential systems, and not forget that they exist, and we need them.
- Jay B. Kalagayan, writer/creator
