Pop Culture Archaeology - Origin of the Comic Con

[Theagenes]

I want to invite all my boardie friends and colleagues to check out the first episode of my new video podcast Pop Culture Archaeology.

 

In this episode I trace the history of the comic con back to the sf pulp fans of the 1920s and 30s. Enjoy!

Very well done and accurate to a tee. Early on there always a "movie presence, I remember "Frank Capra" in San diego and Johnny Weissmuller at houston con with Russ Cochran doing the Mc.

[Theagenes]

Thanks Mitch. There's a lot of great history that many younger fans today just don't know about. That's what this series will be about -- telling those stories and educating younger folks about the history of fandom.

Jeffrey, a great idea and very well done! The part covering the early days was especially fascinating. I'm looking forward to the future 'casts.

Interesting and fun Love watching informative stuff like this. Here's hoping there will be future installments

[Davenport]

Wow, good stuff!

 

If Netflix was smart they'd contact you with a budget, staff and requisition of half-dozen more just like it. To test the waters.

 

I know I'd add 'Pop Culture Archaeology - a Netflix original series' to my cue the instant it appeared. Fresh and interesting, all the way around.

Great stuff Jeff I loved it

[Theagenes]

Thanks guys. It's still kind of in the beta phase. Obviously there are some audio issues in this one that I need to work out, but it's a learning experience.

Very well done Jeff. Had to laugh that you were wearing your avatar hat.

[Theagenes]

Believe it or not, that's actually my real field hat.
