    Episode 199: Lanterns Deep Dive (Ep 3)

    How do you make a Green Lantern? That’s the question that John Stewart’s parents have in this episode of the show Lanterns, and that guest Woody Gaertner and I discuss for this episode of the podcast. We also touch quite a bit on John (and Woody’s) experience as a Black man in America, as that is a very important theme of this episode of Lanterns.
