Blog: Episode Two: Attack Of The Podcast

< previous

I arose bright and early this morning in order to update the Data and Doctor Doom episodes page with full details of Episode 2, FOR LO! Episode 2 of 'Data and Doctor Doom' has been UNLEASHED and is currently rampaging around wherever you get your podcasts and also HERE:



This one explains how my whole methodology works, fully defines what 'The Marvel Age' actually means, talks about the need for evidence-based research, tells you how to do random stratified sampling, and contains perhaps my favourite joke of the whole series. There's also a whole bunch of new songs, including My Unified Catalogue Of Transmedia Character Components, The Marvel Age and Random Stratified Sampling, plus a whole lot more.

I think it's Quite Good, but am gradually coming around to the realisation that it Might Not Be For Everyone. When I first started putting all of this together I was convinced that there was a huge market for it. It would appeal, I thought, to people who like my music OR people who know the MCU OR people who are interested in statistics. That is a HUGE audience, but I am now beginning to understand that the actual audience may just be people who like my music AND know the MCU AND are interested in statistics, which is - SHALL WE SAY - a slightly more exclusive grouping.

To be honest I do think there's a bit more too it than that, and that it should appeal to people with ENQUIRING MINDS who'd like to know how some aspects of our current culturual landscape actually WORK, but do have a listen and see what you think - DOOM COMMANDS IT!

(PS saying "DOOM COMMANDS IT!" at the end of everything is very very enjoyable and I am sure I am going to find myself using it at the end of work emails before too long)
