As part of the site’s mission to cover all things Jerry Siegel and all things Joe Shuster, I will regularly highlight episodes of podcasts covering work they have done.
One podcast that regularly discusses work by Siegel is Billy Hogan’s Superman Fan Podcast. While not the longest-running Superman podcast on the ‘net, the Superman Fan Podcast is the most prolific, with Billy producing near-weekly episodes for just shy of five years.
Originally covering a variety of Superman-related topics, at the beginning of 2011, Billy switched format and began a chronological look at the Superman and Superman family titles from the Silver Age. He is currently in the midst of covering the Superman books published in 1961 and, as such, covering many stories written by Siegel during his second tenure with the company, which lasted from 1959 to 1966.
In his most-recent episode, number 244, Billy looks at ACTION COMICS #277, which features “The Battle of the Super-Pets,” a Supergirl story written by Jerry Siegel.
In the future, I hope to do an in-depth look at Siegel’s Supergirl stories. But, be sure to check out the Superman Fan Podcast for Billy’s take on the material. Besides coverage of Siegel, Billy produces a great show and gets a high recommendation. Take some time and give a listen to this episode, as well as back-episodes and new ones as they are posted.
