Snakes & Otters Podcast

Martin, Robert and Francis dig into the appeal of comic culture and make serious fun of Millennials. Why do the comics appeal to us? How have they turned into a multi-billion dollar media franchise?

Even though the guys don't mention it specifically, perhaps the best history of the comic book medium can be found in Tales to Astonish: Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, and the American Comic Book Revolution. It's worth checking out!

The guys continue their discussion about who really should get the blame for World War I, using Christopher Clark's The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 as a springboard.

Martin, Robert and Francis take on the big question about who really should get the blame for World War I, using Christopher Clark's The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 as a springboard.
