Customer Reviews
Great exploration of a character
I’m not a huge Superman fan (he’s kind of a blindspot for me), but the passion expressed on this show MAKES me a Superman fan. I love how it’s across all types of media and how it explores his place in the wider DC universe, diving deep into his impact both in comics and culturally.
I dig this pod
Great podcast hosted by an even better guy. Keep up the great work!
Great Superman show that touches all era’s
I found this show a few months ago and have plowed through the back episodes. I really enjoy both the discussions about content I’ve read/watched and have not. Can’t recommend this show enough. Such a great show!!
