Professor Xtra

Podcasting to a world that hates and fears them! Join comics x-pert Katie and eager newcomer Britt as they dive into the history of the X-Men and the twisted tales of characters from across the Marvel universe. In each episode, Britt will dive into the wild world of X-Men comics through mainstream media or classic comics storylines, and then Katie will do her best to answer every and any off-the-wall question Britt brings to the Podcasting Fort. Together, they might just be able to answer the titular question—IS IT AN X-MAN? (Spoiler alert: the Hulk isn't.) Tune in every other #xmenmonday for new IIAXM episodes and check out our Instagram and Twitter feeds @isitanxman or our Patreon for behind-the-scenes photos and episode extras!
