2023 Showcase: Superhuman Public Radio

The Audio Verse Awards Nominee Showcase Podcast

This is John Dorsey, Co-Executive Producer on Superhuman Public Radio. The show is what the news would be in a world full of superheroes. The place you tune into to get the latest about that giant robot attacking the city, interviews with reformed supervillains, and advice on how to fix your animal-themed supercar. It’s a parody of podcasting and a love letter to comic books all in one. These are the stories between the panels. What happens after the punching is done and the hero flies away.

We’re presenting the second episode of season two titled: “Whatever Happened to the Kid.” To give you some context for where we are in the story. Congress has just passed the Super Act requiring all Superhumans in the United States to publicly register their abilities. Outside the offices of SPR, you can hear people taking to the streets to defend their rights. With America’s greatest hero Cosmos, deported for being an illegal alien, the Heroic Legion struggles to lead it’s membership in these trying times. To make matters worse, President Norris has taken up his predecessors' hard right stance, aligning himself with anti-superhuman groups…

Things are changing for Supers in America, and there’s only one place they get the news…

This is Superhuman Public Radio.

Thank you for listening and enjoy the show.
