- Fantastic podcast
I love this podcast, I’ve been listening for about a year and I always make sure to check out new episodes. I recently started a new job where I can listen while I work and the only downside is I’m going to run out of episodes soon. 👍👍

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!

And in the same breath, he talked nostalgically about “the triangle era,” which started in the late 1990s and ended in 2001 (24 years ago). Someone needs to warn Anthony before the next time he looks in a mirror because when he do... more
