And lo there came a day...a day unlike any other...when a bunch of Superman podcasts banded together to form The Superman Podcast Network!

David Weter, and Jon Wilson to wax nostalgic about the Network and talk about how we feel about the Man of Steel today.

Secret Origin clip features Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne McDuffie, Paul Levitz, Geoff Johns, Dan Didio, Denny O'Neil, Mark Waid, and Neil Gaiman. 7/22/16 Update: I figured out the logic of planning for the flamethrower.  Not for the locals, the CIA, the press, for witnesses, or eliminating evidence.  The burnt bodies gave Kahina the cover-story to excuse your lie in the eyes of Lois and Clark.  Yes, Lex could have had Kahina lie about fire even if Anatoli didn’t burn bodies but then Lois and Clark would be on to Kahina immediately.  They’d know she was lying.  L&C might not be able to prove it, but it would get them investigating rather than doubting themselves.  Lex ordered Anatoli to burn bodies because while L&C know Superman didn't use heat-vision, they could still believe that Kahina would come to that conclusion and testify about it.
