Episode 425-Superman Wars with William Bernhart

About this episode

The episode features an interview with William Bernhart discussing his book on the history and creation of Superman.

In this episode I spoke with William Bernhart about his latest book "The Superman Wars: A Battle For Truth, Justice, and An American Icon". Almost everyone knows about the man from Krypton who, disguised as mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent working with the fearless Lois Lane, fights for the vulnerable and the oppressed. But few know the truth about this indelible character’s creation.
