About this podcast
The Bailey Planet Podcast (the show formerly known as It All Comes Back to Superman) is the official podcast for The Bailey Planet website. It is also the main show for host Michael Bailey to talk about comics. Mainly he'll be talking about Superman, but other subjects will pop up from time to time. So Batman, Green Lantern, the Flash, the Hulk...all of these and more are eventually going to be on the table. There will be features, exposes, breaking news, media reviews, and all kinds of fun stuff.
But mostly it's going to be about Superman. Because Mike likes Superman. Like a lot.
