Aca-Media producer David Lipson was in Paris for the 2024 Olympics/Paralympics, so we sent him out into the field.

Ep. 76: Maggie Hennefeld on the Cultural Politics of Women’s Laughter

Stephanie Brown delves into the dangerous world of women laughing in this conversation with Maggie Hennefeld about her new book Death By Laughter: Female Hysteria and Early Cinema.

Ep. 75: Academic Publishing Roundtable

We’ve reached that late post-spring time of year, as Michael judiciously puts it, and if you’re lucky and industrious enough to have finished writing something over summer and you’d like to get published, we’ve got just the roundtable for you! One side of the table features experienced editors and the other side has young scholars with questions, so the end result is an engaging and enlightening discussion about how academic publishing works these days.

Talking Television Ep. 17: "OJ TV"

O.J. Simpson died on April 10, 2024. Along—and intertwined—with the impact that he had on formations of "law and order," celebrity and scandal, race and gender, class and nation, Simpson had an enormous impact on U.S. television. This episode of "Talking Television" considers that impact, as TV scholars Hunter Hargraves, Lynne Joyrich, Brandy Monk-Payton, and Samantha Sheppard talk about the televisual construct of "O.J. Simpson" and about media and culture in the wake of "OJ TV."
