THIS IS THE SUPERMAN & CAPTAIN MARVEL POWER HOUR

Important Announcement time folks, this morning I sat down to upload the latest episode of my Superman & Captain Marvel Power Hour podcast, which has been on its own feed, and discovered there was an issue with the feed (had I been checking my email lately I would have discovered this 6 weeks ago when pointed out by a listener, sorry Paul Wieckowski).

So after trying to sort through the mess for over an hour, I said screw this, I already have another feed that works just swell as is, so I'm going to cancel this messed up feed and add the Superman & Captain Marvel Power Podcast to my King-Size Comics Giant-Size Fun feed. So you'll still get the same mediocre podcast with irregular show releases that you are used to from me, your host Kyle Benning, and you'll still get to listen to me ramble on and on about my love of Superman and the original Captain Marvel, my two favorite DC Characters. But now the show will be a part of the King-Size Comics Giant-Size Fun Podcast feed. The show is available on iTunes, or you can download directly be visiting either www.kingsizecomicsgiantsizefun.blogspot.com or www.SupermanCaptainMarvel.blogspot.com

All of the past episodes have now been uploaded on the King-Size Comics Giant-Size Fun Podcast feed, and all of the old episode postings on the Superman & Captain Marvel Power Hour Blog have been updated with the new show links as well.


If you'd like to listen to this announcement in audio form, or help spread the message in your fine podcast via this pseudo-podcast trailer, please refer to the audio link below! SHAZAM!
