Office Hours with Dr. C

Ed and Damian are back with us for a third episode to talk about banned books in public schools and the demise of the school librarian. 

Did you ever pause in the shower and reflect on how your favorite Pro Wrestler perpetuates a long running archetype in the South's Lost Cause Narrative? No, perhaps you will after this episode with Damian and Ed from A Geek History of Time podcast.

How much do genre categories shape our media consumption experience?

With ever-recurring controversy surrounding award shows for our favorite media, why do we even bother having them? We bring Shaylynn Lesinski back to talk about what these shows do for us in celebrating pop media, and what they could do better.

We often hear about how the MCU is deviating from the comics' storylines. Let's add to that by discussing how the MCU seems to downplay traditionally Jewish characters, and what's possibly at stake when they do. 

We have our first repeat guest, Rabbi Lenette Herzog, back to talk more about what coding, why so many early characters might be coded as jewish, and how much of that has been removed over time.

Rather than focusing on media that has representation problems, @Barnabyontheinternet joins us in talking about media that made us feel represented as young people.

It's been a year of Office Hours and we take a quick break to survey the land and assess damages.
