Fanboys with Ph.D. was my first foray into podcasting, a passion project that brought together pop culture love and scholarly insight. As the title suggests, the show explored everything from blockbuster movies and cult TV to comics and video games through an academic lens—without losing the fun of being a fan.

Though now retired, Fanboys with Ph.D. laid the groundwork for my continued work at the intersection of media, culture, and education. It was equal parts analysis, nostalgia, and nerdy deep dives—proof that smart conversations can still come with Easter eggs and inside jokes.
