The Good, The Bad, And The Jimmy
I read and talk about the original run of Jimmy Olsen comics from Otto Binder to Jack Kirby to see what made this character so fun and wacky. I also make some jokes, observations, and just have a good time.
Also Darkseid makes his first appearance in a Jimmy Olsen comic, so if you want to know how the leader of Apokolips started out there you'll have to tune in. Everyone is welcome so if you’re looking to learn a little more about Jimmy Olsen, want something new to listen to, or just want to have some fun, come on by and give it a listen.

This episode features three spectacular stories in Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #4: The Disappearance of Superman (The only right way to dispose of kryptonite is the Aquaman way), The Hunted Messenger (Jimmy's only credibility is being Superman's Pal), and King For a Day (Forged documents are easy to pass along when no one can read them).
