Wait, What? Podcast artwork

Ostensibly about comic books and graphic novels, "Wait, What?" is a podcast in which two friends swap stories, theories, and jokes about all aspects of pop culture...but especially comics. For our early episodes, our theme music is Track 18 from Nine Inch Nails' wonderful ambient album Ghosts, which Trent Reznor graciously made available under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license. But for some time now, it has been an original composition by our very own Graeme McMillan: this update is overdue!

Wait, What: Episode 1.1

Jun 08 2009 21 mins  
In the very first installment of our first episode, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about the genius that is Marvel Comics' Dazzler and Skull the Slayer.

We promise you it improves greatly in future podcasts and hope you hang around.
