Podcasts, Blogs and Comics, Oh My!
Editor’s Note
We’re back with some more awesome content! Today, we’re introducing you to three fantastic podcasts, a pop culture focused web comic, and a great blog, plus an interview from one of our podcast creators. As a heads up, we have quite a few interviews in progress right now, so soon we may be able to feature multiple interviews in each edition - we’re very excited for that!
Also, a small request - follow us on social media! Right now, we have a Facebook page and a Twitter. Neither are as active as they should be… but we’re working on it!

Podcast: Cheers From The Grave
Hosted by: Erica, Stephanie & Nicole
We are three nerdy ladies who love to talk about the creepy paranormal, insane conspiracy theories, and your friendly neighborhood cryptid. We're a pretty hilarious trio, even while sober (we hope)! Our episodes drop every Sunday evening.
Start with Episode 16: Ma's Burning Monsters
Podcast: Dead Ladies Show
Hosted by: Susan Stone with Katy Derbyshire and Florian Duijsens
The Dead Ladies Show Podcast is an irreverent and inspirational women's history storytelling podcast based on a live stage show that started in Berlin and is now international. We highlight both the overlooked and the infamous, because women's history is everyone's history.
Start anywhere! Episode 13: Marie Curie is very popular.
Podcast: Oh No! Lit Class
Hosted by: Megan and RJ
Oh No! Lit Class is a semi-educational comedy literature podcast that’s here to tell you all the strange and sexy things you never knew about the books you had to read in school. Hosted by two former English grads, ON!LC is a fun, foul-mouthed Sparknotes for your ears, mixing plot summaries, author bios, and trivia with bad impressions, worse singing, and occasionally even financial advice…For some reason. Learn who called Alexander Dumas “Daddy” (everyone), why the author of The Scarlet Letter got stuck shoveling poop (Ralph Waldo Emerson made him), and what Agatha Christie got up to when not writing mysteries (catching gnarly waves).
Start with Episode 13: Hamlet! REVEEEENGE!
Web Comic: Wooden Plank Studios
Created by Abel Hagen and Christiaan Albers
At Wooden Plank Studios we love everything geeky and pop culture related so we started to make a comic about it. Every week we try to capture one of the most popular topics in geek culture and make a comic about it. We're best known for our Nintendo, Marvel and Game of Thrones comics.
Start by filtering for your favorite franchise. Everybody's interest is different.
