Blue Hair in Comics and Real-Life

I made a big deal in Quarter-Bin Podcast #12, where I had problems with one character's blue hair.  In the interest of full disclosure, this may be more of a personal issue for me, than it is for others. Blue hair has always had a special place for me.

Yeah, that's me.

Maybe I shouldn't have been so hard on that issue, seeing as sometimes blue hair happens to good professors.

Shortbox Showcase #011

Shooting the Breeze with Luke!

We had a great conversation with Luke Jaconetti for our recent feedback episode, but much of what we talked about did not actually qualify as feedback. So consider this the deleted scences and expanded scenes from episode #10.  Even more Anime, some Asterix, the Daredevil movie, Ultra-Man and Godzilla are all discussed ... in the Shortbox!

We would love to have your feedback on this episode! (if Luke can do it, you can, too!)

Origin Story!


In this episode, I eschew the usual format and talk about how I got into podcasting. I say many nice things about many nice podcasts, most of whom I borrowed from  liberally, almost none of which did I blatantly rip off. Well, not too much.

FEEDBACK (and a guest)!

Professor Alan and Emily sift through the loads of feedback they have received since their last feedback episode. And since much of that feedback came from Luke Jaconetti, they invited Luke (the host of a Godzilla podcast, the proprietor of a Hawkman-themed blog, and a co-host of a horror movie podcast) on to the show for a conversation. Superman, Scrooge McDuck, Anime vs Manga, Luke Cage and a pitch for an Unknown Soldier movie are all discussed ... in the Shortbox!

We would love to have your feedback on this episode! (if Luke can do it, you can, too!)
