  • Bat-tastic!

    Must listen pod about Batman ‘66 from 2 brothers that love Batman and watched it growing up. This show makes me realize there are others out there like me who love to dig into the granular details of the show we grew up on and celebrate it as well. This series is a great companion while revisiting the episodes. Check it out!
