CHRISTOPHER KNOWLES is on the show!!!! We had an awesome time speaking with Chris on this episode. We talk about his Eagle Award winning book, Our Gods Wear Spandex: The Secret History of Comic Book Heroes, about the symbolism in Torchwood: Children of Earth, and about how ancient symbols permeate our modern day culture. Chris also gave us an inside look into his newest project , The Secret History of Rock ‘n Roll.
You can (and must) check out more about Chris at his blog at http://secretsun.blogspot.com/
You can order Chris’ book through our bookstore under the Miscellaneous carousel.

Nice show, I see why your listeners wanted Knowles on the show. I’m slowly catching up, however…
I think his judo-christian upbringing shined through. The aliens in the Torchwood show reminded me far more of the Jewish Holy of Holies than Latin Mass.
Anyway, great show!
Glad you enjoyed it Michael. I throughly enjoyed talking with Chris. I was a comic book geek when I was a kid and noticed all the symbols and tie ins with the occult and mysticism. So, it was a really treat to discuss those things with him.
