I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with podcasting. It is a new medium where pros or amateurs can record an audio show and then post it on the web or iTunes to be downloaded onto one's computer, iTunes, or iPod. Regular shows are automatically downloaded as they become available. Some shows are once a week, others longer, and the more active ones sometimes 5 times a week. Podcasts have been a boom for comic book fans as they tend to have no shortage of opinions to be expressed. In the past few years, there has been an explosion of comic-related podcasts ranging from general topics to more specific ones devoted just to a certain team or hero. So far, there is no one show for Captain America (although I'm seriously considering it!) but shows with Captain America as a topic have been but out there. If you are interested in giving them a listen, here is a sampling of some Cap-related shows.... COMIC GEEK SPEAK (CGS) is one of the more successful comic podcasts out there with 5 days a week content. Based out of Pennsylvania, the guys like to keep it low key like a bunch of guys standing around the comic shop discussing comics.... JAMIE'S ESSENTIALS: EPISODE 2 - CAPTAIN AMERICA Jamie D's show is a spin-off show from the Comic Geek Speak family of podcasts. Released during the last 4th of July weekend, myself (Atomic99) and Jamie talked for over 3 HOURS about the history of Cap. It is a long one but that is what happens when you get too old Cap fans together to discuss their favorite character. http://cdn1.libsyn.com/comicgeekspeak/essentials-captainamerica.m ...

If you like chatting comics with people in the comic shop, this is what the CGS guys are like. They have online forums where you can interact with others from around the globe. And podcasts, not just for comics, are great to sync up with your iPod for traveling, driving, or working out at the gym. Really, it is like talk radio on demand.

A SECOND Captain America Podcast has arrived!! Brian Hancock discusses Cap and Cap's world. Here is what he wrote over at the Comic Geek Speak Forums about his podcast... "Trying out this podcast thing myself with something called "Captain America Archives" - it will be two weekly episodes from 5 to 10 minutes each looking at everything Cap. It won't be what Roch is doing with the "Life of Captain America" (and a great job btw), but it will be non-sequential and won't being doing much issue by issue breakdown. It will be more light hearted than serious, but there will be some meat involved. Not looking to change to world with this and I know the potential audience is very limited. It will also be a podcast that you can have on with small children around - I don't have problems swearing or with swearing and adult content, but it won't be necessary for what I'm doing with Cap. My son, Brett, will be helping me every fifth episode. And hopefully each episode will get slightly better. http://bwhancock.libsyn.com and direct subscription link to iTunes is: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore...st?id=349027312 Give it a listen and let me know. Thanks for your time." I still have to give it a listen but I should like it. The Libsyn link should take you right to the lists of podcasts if you want to listen now or see which each episode topic is. If you are iTunes and iPod tech savvy, you can click the link for itunes to subscribe and download the episodes. Enjoy!

Brian Hancock's CAPTAIN AMERICA ARCHIVES podcast has an interesting guest this time with Associate Professor John Moser from Ashland University in Ohio. Moser wrote a chapter in the book Captain America and the Struggle of the Superhero. Moser delivered a speech recently on how the character fits in a post-Nazi era of the 1960s and 1970s. I have yet to listen but I enjoy these looks at the character from a real world perspective. Lecture Topic: Captain America and the Dilemma of Liberal Patriotism Summary: The comic book hero Captain America was created in 1940, while World War II raged in Europe. He was the first superhero specifically designed to fight Nazis, and his book proved immensely popular during the war years. Marvel Comics decided to revive the character in 1964, but a problem soon emerged—during peacetime, what is there for a superhero to do when he was originally created to beat up on America’s foreign enemies? Comic book fans offered plenty of answers, and the result was the so-called "patriotism controversy," in which fans, writers, and editors debated Cap’s relevance in the 1960s and 1970s. The direction in which they ultimately took the character tells us a great deal about how patriotism came to be redefined as a result of the tumultuous events of the period. You can find Moser's speech here: http://www.ashbrook.org/podcasts/events/moser_09-11-13_speech.mp3 You can find the podcast here: http://bwhancock.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=592149
