Co-hosting an interview with Eisner award-winning graphic novelist Tillie Walden on just day three of the job, Wulfemeyer played an active role in researching, recording and working in post-production for Bloomsday’s “ F***ing Shakespeare” podcast, a series of interviews with poets, novelists, memoirists and short story writers.
