Episode 58

For only the second time in the run of this podcast, the guest Skypes in from the southern hemisphere. Thankfully though, this time I didn’t have to stay up until 1am in Toronto to get things done. While this worked out well for me, I should thank my guest here and now for the early wake-up call he endured to talk superheroes with me. I’ll readily admit that in some respects our conversation about the blockbuster of 2012 (so far) might feel like a day late, what with the film already playing for ten days in North America. Hopefully though, you aren’t Avenger’d out just yet. If so, I’m sorry to add to the white noise – most of the rest of this summer’s shows should happen in a more timely fashion. I hope y’all got your fill of nourishment during the three Hot Docs episodes, because it’s nothing but calorie laden popcorn from now until September.
