  • The World of Wakanda
    Mar 28 2022

    It’s 2021 and the Black Panther has become a lot more popular than he’s ever been. In fact, Black Panther has done something that no other Marvel hero or team has done before: expand beyond the one man behind the mantle, beyond T’Challa, and has created a world of its own: Wakanda-- a land, a people, and a cultural phenomenon.  It’s here that we’ll explore John Ridley’s take on the character, as we look back at the seeds that Stan and Jack planted all those years ago, a present that’s grown and branched out beyond its own roots, and finally a blossoming future of endless possibilities.

  • A Nation Under Our Feet
    Mar 21 2022

    By the time we reach 2016, the Black Panther has experienced decades of adventures, fought countless villains, and teamed up with many of Marvel’s mightiest heroes— however, in Ta-Nehisi Coates' run, we find T’Challa struggling to define himself as a person, as a Super Hero, and as a leader of a world power. Far from the swashbuckling adventures of the character’s origins, this Black Panther is a ruler with a heavy burden. Ta-Nehisi Coates flips the paradigm on the character and finally puts the expectations of a people on its king. Can he live up to it?

  • Allow Me To Reintroduce Myself
    Mar 14 2022

    It’s 2005, and Marvel has tapped film screenwriter, director, and President of Entertainment of BET, Reginald Hudlin, to write a new Black Panther book. Excitedly, Reggie shares this news with his friends and family. Their reaction? “Who is the Black Panther?” Written by Reginald Hudlin, “Who Is The Black Panther” was Reggie’s definitive response to that reaction— building off of previous Panther stories, and reintroducing T’Challa to the world by over-satisfying his community and his own desires for a black Super Hero.

So impressed! Highly recommended

An objective and scholarly examination of the origins of T'Challa, on and off the page. A compelling piece of history exists behind The Black Panther, and this series puts it on display nicely. Cultural politics are exhausting, but important... but also for profit. Host and guest speakers were mostly enjoyable.

Marvelous!

This podcast was simply outstanding. I can think of no better ambassador for the world of Black Panther than Nic Stone. I heard some of the BEST discussion about the legacy of the Black Panther I have ever heard in my life. Better than the roundtable in the movie download's extras, netter than...just better. And that last episode where she had her own roundtable? Woo! Nuanced, diverse and even laugh out loud funny. I hope sheis given another episode one Black Panther: Wakanda Forever opens! I need to hear more from this great Wakandan Griot! Perhaps she can get an episode with the women of Wakana: Letitia, Danai, Lupita, and Ms. Angela! WF!
