Blog: Data and Doctor Doom - the podcast!

< previous

Yesterday was VERY exciting for me because Marvel finally officially released the trailer for Avengers: Doomsday - the movie that is going to feature my specialist subject i.e DOCTOR DOOM!

To be honest I was expecting this to be released in a few days time at San Diego Comic Con so was taken a bit by surprise but, to quote an entirely other franchise, The Moment Had Been Prepared For, for LO! I was all ready and able to unleash a trailer of my very own, BELOW!



This is the trailer for my new podcast Data and Doctor Doom, a five-part weekly series that kicks of on Tuesday 28 July. You should be able to find it on most podcast apps, such as these ones here:

• Spotify
• Apple
• Podbean
• Amazon Music

The podcast is an adaptation of my live show Data and Doctor Doom, which itself was a musical adaptation of my book Data and Doctor Doom: An Empirical Approach To Transmedia Characters (which is now on sale for £25, a quarter of the original price!). THUS it includes loads of new songs, old jokes, and rigorous evidence-based analysis of who Doctor Doom is, how transmedia characters work, and why any of it matters. If you saw the live show there's also quite a lot of extra stuff that I couldn't fit into that version, including a lot more about Dennis The Menace and several extra songs!

I've been working on this for most of the past year so it's all very exciting - and very SCARY - to finally be unleashing it upon the world. As I say, it's available everywhere you get podcasts, and I would HUGELY appreciate it if you could have a listen and even tell other people - and don't forget to LIKE! SUBSCRIBE! Doom commands it!
