“I just found this podcast and am loving it! The breakdown of each character is awesome, I’ve only listened to the first three, now I’m skipping to the Goblin Queen since the new Xmen97 episode 3 just came out. I’ve only ever read a handful of the Giant Sized books so being able to get in detail...”Read full review »

“This podcast is magnificent! Stumbled on it and was immediately thrust back into my 90s super hero awakening. My first intro to X-Men was the 90s show and upon listening to Connor and friends this humble flatscan wanted to Kitty Pryde into my younger self and grab every X-Men comic I could. Thank...”Read full review »

“These episodes are long, but so very worth it. Connor and his guests over analyse X-Men characters in a way that really clicks with me. Suitable for homosuperior AND flatscan audiences.”

“3.5
I love that this podcast introduces a lot of these X-Men to new readers in as thorough a way as you can. But even with the many skips over pieces of history with Connor going “don’t worry about that”, it can get a bit tedious. Especially for characters who get tied up in plot cul de sacs...”Read full review »

“I found it shocking how he talks over his guests and acts like he knows more than them. He even did it to Hickman. It would be good if he had a little more humility.”

“This podcast is engaging and fun even if you have pretty limited knowledge of the X-men comics, it’s very welcoming— not just in tone but also you can start almost any ep and jump around from characters who interest you— i’ve found this often gets me curious about other characters and unravels in...”Read full review »

“It’s great to have a podcast that’s so well versed in the material…But why have guests if you don’t let them speak? Seems like the host just wants to gas on and reduce the guests to agreeing. Maybe there should be just a regular sidekick to do that”

“I’ve read X-Men comics since I was a kid, but I managed to skip most of the bad ones. Connor reads them all, losing valuable time and brain cells on awful stories just so I “don’t worry about it.” Thank you, Connor, for your sacrifice!
(In all seriousness, this podcast is a lot of fun, and has...”Read full review »

“Cool to find an X-Pod taking a different approach, from the usual going through the issues old &or new & reviewing them, and instead of doing 1-character/episode history-bio/discussion/personal thoughts-on.

Great, very well done (intelligent, X-Pert level research &...”Read full review »

“Great deep dive into X-history.
Always entertaining and I always learn something.
Reminds you how weird, interesting and thoroughly F’d up X-history is.
does lose a star, for not using the tag line ‘the show where a superior homo talks about homo superior’”
