PLEASE DO AN EPISODE ON CASSANDRA CAIN!!!!!

Excellent history of character episodes. Also, TIM DRAKE AS NIGHTWING!!! I NEED IT IN MY LIFE!!

Late to the party!

Finally found this podcast and it’s amazing! Finding it late does have its advantages. I have a huge library of episodes to choose from. Good information and the “guest stars” are hilarious! Hopefully they can do an episode about Marvel’s Hercules.

M33baller ,

Great pop culture podcast!

I’ve been addicted to this podcast since I’ve discovered it. Listening to 6-7 a week!

As a writer, I really appreciate the creative insights Jason, Ashley, and their well curated guests bring to the table. I learn a great deal about the characters I love, and the choices creators made that help made them as wonderful as they are.

I’d highly recommend this for anyone looking for a fun, entertaining, engaging, thoughtful and inspiring lesson on the history of global pop culture.

P.S— As a black creator and fan, I have always felt safe listening to this podcast. Jason and Ashley make an effort to honor and incorporate diverse and inclusive perspectives into their work, and I really loved the Black Heroes Matter podcast.

I wish this podcast and the creators continued success.

Excelsior!
