  • 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!

  • Once upon a time…

    …this podcast used to be fun and informative. Now, years on, they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel for discussion topics. No, actually they’re scraping the ground beneath the barrel at this point. Like Batman ‘66, all good things must come to an end and this podcast is definitely one of them.

    I love the 1966 Batman series. A few months ago on a lark I decided to search for a Batman 66 podcast, not really expecting to find anything. To my surprise and delight I found To The Batpoles!

  • Batbest of the Batpods

    Since I've come across "To the Batpoles," my understanding of the Adam West Batman (the one true Batman) has expanded exponentially. Tim and Paul should be given extra credit since they even went to the University of Wyoming to get unpublished original Bat Scripts and share their contents with their fans. They know their stuff, and even find obscure versions of the Bat theme to share with all of us. Truly great website. Wish them the best in all bat futures.
