Episode 92: Radio Episodes 0118-0123
Does a lack of sight heighten the other senses? The Man of Steel better hopes so given the menace he faces as Michael looks at the 19th storyline from the radio serial. And maybe "looks" isn't the right word since the Daily Planet's crusade against a corrupt bureaucrat leads Superman into a clash with... the Invisible Man! How can our hero defeat a villain he can't even see?!

Episode 90: Superman #8 (with special guest co-host Michael Bailey)
This episode, Michael is joined by Michael Bailey for star-spangled look at four brand new and (mostly) awesome Superman stories from SUPERMAN #8. These stories see the Man of Steel taking on a plethora of foes, including towering giants, a murder wrap, carnival racketeers and the very justice system itself in his crusade as champion of the oppressed. It's, perhaps, the best issue of SUPERMAN yet. Don't miss out!

Customer Reviews
Deepest of dives
Thank you for the amazing work you put into this. Reading along with my golden age omnibus is fantastic.
Gold standard!
Host Michael Bradley is a podcasting luminary whose passion and enthusiasm for Superman comes through in each and every episode of this fantastic and entertaining podcast! Starting with the debut in 1938, he does a great job of keeping within the context of the era as he moves forward and explores the growing popularity of Superman and introductions to new parts of his mythology. I love his dry wit, spectacular sense of humor, and he is a fountain of information that makes you feel more knowledgeable about golden age Superman after listening. He has a rapport with his listeners as he reads their email on the show, as well as his reviews. Indeed, that is a big reason why I wrote this review, hoping he will produce another episode to read it since it has been years since the last episode. It is time for the return of the Thrilling Adventures of Superman! Even if it doesn’t return, I appreciate that I was able to listen to it, and you should too!
Superman History 101
Michael does an absolutely wonderful job telling everything about Superman's history. Even when an episode is covering a pretty boring story Michael finds a way to keep you interested be it an interesting tid bit of history or some comical sound bites. Michael is very knowledgeable in his podcasts and is far too modest about it. Not a quality a lot of podcasters have. Job well done sir! The Thrilling Adventures of Superman lives up to it's name thanks to the host! -Garrey
