Shortbox Showcase #60 -- Our 6th Anniversary! Six years ago today (a few weeks ago, that is), our very first Shortbox Showcase episode debuted. Yes, other shows in the network had gone live the week before, but since this has become our flagship program, we consider 7/30/13 as our official network starting date. In addition to covering some feedback, and talking about how awesome our listeners are and all that, Professor Alan talks about a new campus club that he is helping get off the ground. Then we start with our ANNUAL tradition of talking about an ANNIVERSARY comics issue. In this case, it's the recent Detective Comics 1000, celebrating Batman's 80th anniversary.
