The Oh Gosh

Oh Gosh, Oh Golly, Oh Wow! is a podcast devoted to Marvel’s Excalibur comic book series, published from 1988 to 1998. Since its debut in February 2021, the show has set out to discuss the entire series one issue at a time, offering an extended, enthusiastic exploration of its characters, stories, and place in pop culture. Its hosts describe themselves as “aca-fans”: academics whose professional interests in comics and culture meet a longstanding personal fandom.

The hosting team includes writers and educators Anna Peppard, Christopher “Mav” Maverick, and J. Andrew Deman, each bringing distinct experience in comics scholarship, criticism, and creative work. The podcast pairs informed analysis with a playful, fan-first perspective, making it welcoming both to longtime Excalibur devotees and listeners discovering the series.
