Look up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Superman Trivia this week.
It’s episode 103 and I am a little embarrassed that it has taken so long to get around to such an iconic character as Superman. But, we rectify this today!
The character has seen many incarnations over his storied history, so there’s a lot of Superman Trivia to dive into. From radio, to TV, to the big screen, Superman is one of (if not THE) most iconic superheroes of all time.
If you’re a fan of The Man of Steel or any of the members of his rogues gallery, you are in for a treat in this week’s episode.
So pull on your tights and we will get this show on the road.
When you’re done with Superman Trivia this week, please take a moment to fill answer our quick, two-question survey at the bottom of the page. It’s a big help in making sure the episodes are both fun but not too difficult.
We intend to have a lot more superhero episodes this year, so stay tuned. If you want to make sure we get your favorite hero (or villain), send us a note. You can use the Contact form on this site or reach out to us on Facebook and Twitter. We love hearing from the listeners.
Your clue for next week’s episode:
The native name for what island nation translates to “The Land of the Long White Cloud”?
