Geek Polymath:Most people who identify as a geek have an area of geekery that they are obsessive about: a certain film series, TV series, comic book, video game series, etc. I don’t, really: there’s lots of areas of geekery that I’m fond of but don’t obsess about – I call myself a geek polymath. This podcast would be an in-depth conversation with someone who is an avid fan of something that I quite like looking at its fandom and its appeal.The guest for the pilot of Geek Polymath for a discussion of Marvel Comics is Rob Halden from the Marvel Versus Marvel podcast!Host: Mark AdamsGuest: Rob HaldenEditor: Mark AdamsTwitter: @DontSayTheCPodWe Made This On Twitter: @wemadethispodwww.wemadethispod.com
