All things Batman-related are up for discussion in this podcast; this includes movies, animation, cartoons, TV series and comic books. We have rarely seen a podcast sink so deeply into its content. Interviews have also been done. Founding host Dustin is joined by Chris, Apple, and Carl for many of the episodes. Episode lengths vary greatly from 30 minutes to an hour and a half. A good amount of time is spent in post-production with the addition of bumpers, which are usually movie clips. At times there are too many of these clips, and they detract from the show. The podcast has been mostly consistent in the release of content except for a drop off in August. However, the team is starting strong with a new episode in September. Unfortunately, our enthusiasm for this show fell apart in regards to the audio production. Dustin’s treble level was so high that it made his “P’s” and “T’s” bursting plosives. For more pleasing sound quality, time should also be spent in post production on this issue.

Starkville’s House of El (SHoE)
Category: TV & Film
Derek Russell and Steve Glosson host this podcast dedicated to the TV show Smallville. Smallville covers Clark Kent’s life as a teenager as he discovers his superpowers. Smallville is about to begin its 8th season so the hosts have had a lot of material to cover; consequently there are close to 100 episodes of this podcast. Episodes last anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Many of ShoE’s shows follow new Smallville episode releases so the podcast generally consists of discussion about these episodes as well as listener emails. Since this show is mostly discussion based, bumpers to break up the episodes would be a nice addition. Video podcasting has also been employed to cover gatherings such as the recent Dragon Con in Atlanta, Georgia. We are amazed at the variety and quantity of content.

Spider-Man Crawl Space Podcast
Category: TV & Film
Everyone’s favorite “Spiderman” is the inspiration for Spider-Man Crawl Space Podcast. From the comics, cartoons, and feature films, the world of Spiderman is studied and explored. While all things Spidey are covered in this show, most of the discussion revolves around comic books. Host Brad Douglas and friends do a great job of keeping each episode entertaining and moving along. The podcast has quite a following, and a major portion of each episode is spent on listener questions and comments. Spidey fans can expect to hear from the artist and writers that have been influential in the Spiderman Universe. As with the other “Super Hero” podcasts, the length of each episode varies greatly from 20 minutes to an hour or more. It should also be noted that the language in this podcast is not for the kiddies; this is definitely for your more mature Spidey fans. New content is semi-consistent but gaps are noticeable. Overall, this podcast is a lot of fun.
