MCS Alumni Chris Olson interviews Prof. Blair Davis for the 'Pop Culture Lens' Podcast

Chris Olson, who recently graduated with a Masters degree in Media and Cinema Studies from DePaul, sat down with Prof. Blair Davis for the latest episode of his podcast 'The Pop Culture Lens' to discuss the 1930s/40s radio serial "Captain Midnight," its cross-media extensions and the role of transmedia therein.

Chris, along with CarrieLynn Reinhard, created the podcast (which they see as offering "Fresh Perspectives on Past Media") in 2014. Other entries in the podcast series have focused on Planet of the Apes, Freaks, fan culture, The X-Files, Godzilla and Mad Max.
