DC Secret Files Podcast Vol. I: Golden Age Secret Files and Origins


WordPress ✪ Spotify ✪ Internet Archive ✪ YouTube ✪ 🍏podcasts ✪

The inaugural episode of our DC SECRET FILES podcast — the show that dares to tackle DC Comics’ greatest creations in encyclopedic form! Each episode, Frank will be joined by a special guest, in this case, comics writer David Gallaher, to cover characters and concepts from across DC’s history. Our discussion of the given property will be married to a piece of original art commissioned by DC to spotlight the same. This time around, we chat about 2001’s Golden Age Secret Files and Origins #1, by John Ostrander & Cliff Chiang, as well as a host of other talents on the main and supplemental stories. Plus we read YOUR feedback on the show’s promotion!
