Episode 146: Interview with J.M. DeMatteis (Part 1 of 2)

We welcome the talented writer of TV, novels, and of course, comic books: J.M. DeMatteis in the first part of this two-part interview.  Starting from his childhood love of comics to the seminal work: Kraven's Last Hunt.

The man, the myth, the legend…J.M.

Some of J.M.’s earliest work. Classic horror monsters beating up Nazis! You know you want to read it!

Kraven’s Last Hunt…at least until Marvel brought him back 25 years later.

Recognizing when the best writing is nothing at all.

Episode 12: Wakandan Econ

In order to answer a listener's question about the economics of Wakanda, home of the Black Panther, Kurt talks to economics professor Dr. Matt Dobra about how the economics of Wakanda would (or would not) work in the real world.  Learn about Dutch Disease, the Resource Curse, and more, through the lens of pop culture!

Long live the King!

Pretty close to where I said in the episode, just a little farther east.

In the movies, this shield is made of pure vibranium. In the comics...that's a little more complicated. Ask me about it sometime!
