What Our Podcast Does

Comics Course At a Glance

Weekly Lectures

The Comics Course is a weekly offering from Miskatonic University of our course Literature 209, Graphical Literature in society and history as a podcast via the Captivate.fm platform.

Easy to Access

The podcast can be accessed directly from Captivate as well as Sticher, Youtube, Apple Podcasts, Google Play Store, Spotify and many others as well as an RSS feed for any application.

Graphic Literature

We talk about graphic literature with the long boxes to prove it. We focus on the literary aspect (this is an Lit department) though we do talk about the art. We talk about superhero comics as popular lit is important but we cast our net wide beyond.

Achtung!

This a non-political podcast but Professor Hamby believes in inclusion and diversity. We want stories from every kind of person and for every kind of person. Hate speech of any kind is not tolerated here. Also we look at litereature not just comics rated for children so topics can be sensitive at times. We are not recommended for young children.

Recording

We try to be transparent so others can learn from our experiences. We are currently recording using Rode podcast mics going through Beheringer audio interfaces to a Macbook Air running Hindenburg Pro.

Super Serious

Literature is a very serious academic matter and we promise to handle it with all the severity, regard and academic rigor that we can muster.

Bringing Knowledge

It Takes a Village to Podcast

Professor

Professor Hamby

Course Instructor

I think that grading kind of gets in the way of academic absorption and gives me more work to do, so I don't do it. I'm still untenured becasue my evaluation committee keeps dying. Really 92 year old professors should not go sky diving. I also live in my office though I've annexed Dr. Feqqit's and one below me. And the basement.

Rowan

Rowan

Teaching Assistant

Rowan is an art major who has ended up my primary Teaching Assisant after Tomas left for Antartica. She puts up with me and helps me during the podcast lectures. I have a few other TAs but they seem to disappear after a while.

Tomas

Tomas

Ex-Teaching Assistant

Tomas was a great TA! Unfortunately he went on a summer trip to Antartica and got left behind. When a rescue ship eventually got there they just found stones and penguin bones laid out in a mural of a Tintin book cover. He sometimes sends me messages telling me how much he wants to see him again.

Tomas

Dr. Feqqit

Head of Lit Department

Dr. Feqqit is the head of the literature department, my boss and currently on the run from Interpol, the CIA and the Miskatonic Public Library. The last one for overdues. He recently re-married which I hoped would relax him but instead he transferred Bitcoin to pay for the wedding that led the feds to him. I still don't know what he did but it runs out Miskatonic can't fire a tenured professor for classified crimes and he still keeps up with his job via Tor routed Internet connections and constantly moving.

Tomas

Madame Tindalos

Hounds Mistress, Head of Grounds and Maintenance

Madame Tindalos is known for raising the hounds the occasionally eat under class men. We take pride that our graduates both are enlightend and excellent runners. Tindalos often helps me with my construction projects and warns me when the University tries to sabotage my residence.

Tomas

Eunji

Head of Nutrition and Pharmacology

I dated Eunji when both of us were in grad school but we fell out after an incident with her sister, and mother, and a cousin (I think). Look, it was a wedding party and some guy who looked like Anthony Bourdain gave me bottle of aquamarine liquid. Fortunately, Eunji has put that behind us and is looking out for me now.
