I was guest-host on a episode 80 of Superman in the Bronze Age, hosted by Charlie Niemeyer. In the episode, you find part two of our discussion of the Man of Steel’s greatest fight of all time. (That’s right; I said, “OF. ALL. TIME.”). After starting in episode 79, Charlie and I finish ALL-NEW COLLECTORS’ EDITION C-56, otherwise known as Superman vs. Muhammad Ali!

Thanks again to Charlie for having me on the show! As always, it was a lot of fun.

I was guest-host on a episode 79 of SUperman in the Bronze Age, hosted by Charlie Niemeyer. In the episode, you find part one of our discussion of the Man of Steel’s greatest fight of all time. (That’s right; I said, “OF. ALL. TIME.”). Charlie and I dive … no, cannonball our way into ALL-NEW COLLECTORS’ EDITION C-56, otherwise known as Superman vs. Muhammad Ali!

As always, I had a lot of fun and, as I’ve said before and will say again now and in the future, Charlie produces and excellent show that should be on your playlist. So be sure to check out the episode, as well as all of the back catalog.

Go listen now, and check back in a week or so for part two. And thanks again to Charlie for having me on the show!
