Episode 41: Bird Man and Regretful Cyborg Grandpa (w/ Clif Ganyard & Emily Fecteau)

This week, Bryan talks with UWGB Associate Provost and historian Clif Ganyard about pop culture's ongoing fascination with World War 2. Has using the conflict as a backdrop for comparatively simple popular culture in turn simplified our view of the war? How do games like Call of Duty and Wolfenstein and films like Inglourious Basterds turn the war into an abstract...and how might they be used to educate as well? All this plus a lengthy discussion of Captain America.
