Wait, What?

Summary: 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 55.1 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:56:32

Welcome to the cursed podcast--Wait, What? Ep. 55.1. The podcast so nice we had to record it twice. No, really, we had to record it twice. Something on my computer got screwed up and...I canapos;t even talk about it anymore, Iapos;m sorry. Letapos;s just chalk it up to "nice." Installment 1 is just under and hour and Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester have a very long chat about Flashpoint #5 and Justice League #1, with many digressions, dramatic readings, and punchy semi-epiphanic realizations along the way. We hope you enjoy it, and hope you check back in a day or two for Ep. 55apos;s dramatic conclusion! Thanks for listening!
