Episodes
In this, the second episode of their new show, Cory and Hub digress from their coverage of Champions and discuss the absolutely bonkers Silver Age gofers that is Action Comics #243. Digressions include: Super Lion's surprising pathos, burying scary media in your yard, 18th century fashion, and a bunch of other nonsense!
Our intrepid hosts, Hub and Cory, embark on a bold new adventure. They discuss The Champions #1 and indulge themselves in many digressions along the way.
Welp, that's a wrap on Titan Up the Defense! For our final episode, we take a look at Teen Titan Spotlight #21, featuring the original Teen Titan lineup. We talk about Woodstock, the 60's vs the 80's, Arsenic and Old Lace, and probably a bunch of other stuff that I don't remember. Thanks so much for listening, everybody! We love you. Enjoy! Enjoy!
SMRASH! For the penultimate episode of TUtD, we set the wayback machine for 1971 and discuss Sub-Mariner #34, featuring the Defenders' precursor, The Titans Three! Topics include: Uh...stuff? Probably also things. Look, it's been a long couple of weeks, and I was drinking a fair amount of brandy. I think we talked about the Silver Surfer somewhere in there. Enjoy! Enjoy!

Hey, everybody! I goofed up when I uploaded this years Disco Barn and initially posted a version that was missing some bits. That version was only up a couple of hours, but if you downloaded when it was released and have an incomplete version of the show, please delete that version and re-download. That should fix things. Sorry about the inconvenience!
Welcome Back to the Disco Barn, once the most popular supernatural discotheque in all of rural New England. This year, the Haunted Disco Barn's owner and proprietor, Ezekiel P Shadowmaven, regales us with Punk is UnDead, a bone chilling murder mystery from the Barn's 1970's heyday. Happy Halloween!
We get back to our roots, and read Adventure Comics #269, featuring the debut of the undisputed greatest Teen Titan, Aqualad! Hooray! There's also some fun stuff about Super Dogs, Space Pills, and stork rescue, but mostly we talk about the fact that one guy in the comic calls a mistake, "A costly boner." Enjoy! Enjoy!

This week's recording went sideways on us, so we reached into the archives and pulled out this Bonus episode Cory and Hub recorded for Patreon a depressing number of years ago. They talk about Wonder Woman issues #265-266, and probably a bunch of other stuff as well. Who can remember? It was 2016, a year most of us have tried to blot out of our respective memories. We'll have the show back on track with a real episode next...
