- Quirky as the comics
If you’re missing the charm of Titan Up the Defense, this fills the absence of a podcast that covers the lesser team books of the 1980’s.

United States2 months ago - It really is the best Alpha Flight podcast!
An awesome pod that I would recommend to anyone who’s a fan of the cerebro pod! The dudes on this pod are funny and do a great job covering the issues!

Canadaa year ago - “Alpha Flight, Unite!”
Chris and Tom handle the difficult journey of this cult comic series with the sense of ironic humor and occasional historic aside that could be more entertaining than the comic itself. Grab an omnibus and read along with this entertaining mix of Marvel Comics, Molson’s Golden, and poutine. This is my comfort podcast for the end time.
My only gripe would be the theme music, outdated ska instead of the timeless Geddy Lee classic “Take Off”. Shame. JMH must be rolling over I. His graves.
