The Bright Suns Podcast

The Bright Suns Podcast

The show where pop culture geeks like myself can obsess over Star Wars, Marvel, DC, and anything else in the geekdom that we like, with a focus on positivity and non-toxicity.

Bright suns, travelers!

In today's bonus episode, I go over just where the hell I have been for the past few months (not a happy story) and what to expect as I begin to make my way back.

Thank you all so much for being around for me during these past few months, even if you didn't know you were or why.

Here's to the future of The Bright Suns Podcast!

Bright suns, travelers! On this episode I go into a bit of Star Wars and a bit of Marvel and DC, discussing the finale of The Book of Boba Fett, and letting you know what I think DC needs to do (or continue to do) in order to distinguish itself from its competition and give us a much better choice between universes to indulge in.
