I’ve been listening to podcast about The Man of Steel for longer than I’d care to admit.
During that time, one voice has been A constant. An authority. A guarantee of knowledge and of quality…and most of all…a reassuring presence.
Mr Michael Bailey.
Thank you Sir.
Just when you think there’s no one that likes Superman as much as you do, you find a podcast that proves you wrong. Great stuff for Super geeks everywhere.
Love this podcast. Michael somehow is able to work seamlessly with guests AND handle episodes solo as well. A wonderful series of episodes celebrating the Man of Steel. Give it a listen!

So glad your back.. I hope this continues love listening to this and all your other shows
