    Ep. 103: Because They Gave Me You

    In the third (and possibly final) episode of The Woman He Thought Should Rule the World, David Villaseñor covers William Moulton Marston's very progressive feminist views (for his time). He'll explain how they influenced him onto making the most feminist superhero ever, Wonder Woman! And how she really did become the type of woman he thought should rule the world. (Get it, it's like the title).    If you dug this episode, give it a good review and positive rating on Apple Podcasts.

    Ep. 102: I Choose to Submit

    On episode two of The Woman He Thought Should Rule the World, David Villaseñor explains a more wild side of William Moulton Marston. That wild side being his fascination with bondage that also served as his sexual fetish. And how it was showcased very frequently in early Wonder Woman comics. Yet, that may be something that made Wonder Woman great. Sticks and stones may break your bones but this episode should definitely excite you.    If you liked this episode, make sure to give it a good review and positive rating on Apple Podcasts.

    Ep. 101: Ask and I'll Tell You the Truth

    In the premiere episode of The Woman He Thought Should Rule the World, David Villaseñor goes over William Moulton Marston's involvement with creating the lie detector.  And how it led to the creation of Wonder Woman's iconic lasso of truth that she uses in the comics. But also, how it made the concept of lies and truth prominent in her stories. I'd be lying if I said this isn't going to be fascinating.    If you enjoyed this episode, leave a good review and positive rating on Apple Podcasts.

    Introducing The Woman He Thought Should Rule the World

    A look at how one man's eccentricity influenced an iconic hero.   Wonder Woman is one of the biggest names from DC comics, and the face of female superheroes. Yet, many people don't analyze her stories to the same extent they do for Batman or Superman. And many people don't acknowledge the influence from her creator, William Moulton Marston.   I am David Villaseñor and in this podcast, we will look at the eccentric life of William Moulton Marston, the creator of Wonder Woman, and discuss how the fascinating aspects of his life shaped Wonder Woman's character and stories. From his views on feminism, his hand in creating the lie detector, and fascination with bondage, this man has had an interesting life.   The first three episodes premiere this November on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.  This is a podcast made by David Villaseñor from Villaseñor Productions.
