Comics + Christianity = New Podcast!

Okay, so I haven't posted in a while. But now I'm back with PROOF that I've been doing something real since I posted last! My friend Ben Avery and I have put together our first podcast, the Comic Book Crossover Podcast, and it's almost ready for public consumption. I was going to make a lame joke about the disease once called 'Consumption', but thought better of it - tuberculosis jokes usually aren't that funny. But, anyway, the podcast will be about comic books and other media (usually television and movies, but we've been known to drag in old time radio, web comics, and other stuff as well) and how they are both an influence on and influenced by Christianity.

We're going to try to keep the podcasts under a half an hour for now, until the public outcry for more of our witty banter becomes overwhelming, and probably put one up every 2 to 4 weeks. Some of what we plan to feature includes our Icons Series (Episode 1 features the legendary Aquaman!), and finding out what comics Ben and I are reading. But this is just the tip of the iceberg, as we usually dive right into whatever we need to in order to support our theories about mass media, culture, and how everything relates to Christianity.

If you’d like to find out more about us or the podcast, or if you’re interested in what Christianity is really all about, please e.mail us at ComicBookCrossover@gmail.com. We’d love to hear what you have to say about any of the topics we’ve covered or about any topic you’d like us to cover (you could even suggest a hero for the Icons Series). You can also find us online at http://web.me.com/benavery/Comic_Book_Crossover_Podcast. Thanks to Ben for setting up a website with the worlds longest URL.

At our online site you'll find links to the podcast as well as Ben's arsenal of websites - professional and personal, both with great stuff to read - and my attempts at social networking as well. Let us know what you think!
