The Flash Podcast

HAPPY 2025 EVERYONE! First off, this video was supposed to come out in December 2024, but technical issues and a busy schedule came in the way, so major apologies! HOWEVER, with this being my first video back in 2025, I'm thrilled to share a very special treat for all of you - as Superman & Lois marked the end of 18 years of DC TV content on The CW, I was joined by my amazing buddies Craig Byrne from ‪KSiteTV‬/KryptonSite and Derek Russell of ‪Super House Of El Podcast‬/Starkville's House of El Podcast/Superman & Lois TV Talk, two major legends in both the Smallville and Superman community, as these reporters have played crucial parts in my life professionally and for my own Smallville experience!
