Travis Roy is back in the studio to talk about Popular Culture in American History. Last time we chatted, we didn't have nearly enough time to talk about the cultural significance of Comics, especially in light of the recent passing of legendary creator Stan Lee. Here, we discuss how culture is significantly altered by comics and movies and how economic powerhouses such as Disney continue to colonize successful brands. Join us for an insightful conversation, part deux, on American culture.
