  • Fantastic Show!

    I discovered this show about a year ago and have been tearing through episodes. What a fun, loving, but honest dive into the Superman books so many of us grew up on. Truly a wonderful listen.

    As a new fan of the character, this show has really helped me flesh out my own thoughts on the latest film and Superman in general. Everything I’ve listened to thus far has been a highly enjoyable, respectful conversation. Can’t recommend it enough!

  • Well produced and fun podcast!

    Anthony has a clear passion for Superman and his world and covers everything Superman related in great detail! His chemistry with every guest is readily apparent and leads to an informative but still relaxed enough feel that’ll have you feeling like you’re hanging out with friends as they chat Superman!

    Was fortunate enough to have him on my show and he’s just as fun to talk to in person as he is to listen to!
