Episode 412 – The Superboy Chronicles: The Secret of the Super Power Failures
Fresh from a day at Fan Expo, Paul returns to put right what once went wrong, and records an episode about New Adventures of Superboy issue 5, which somehow was lost to the earlier coverage of the series (thanks to the eagle-eyed Thomas Lanes of the Parliament of Rooks podcast for noticing this!). How do Superboy’s powers start to diminish, and what do Ma Kent’s prize-worthy tomatoes figure into it? Also, how does this story tie into one of Paul’s all-time favourite pre-Crisis Superman stories? Those answers, and more, lie within!
Episode 411 – The Superboy Chronicles: This Planet is Condemned!

Also, which is faster, Pre-Crisis Superman’s super-brain, or a Tandy TRS-80 with its blistering 1.77khz processor and between 4 and 16 kilobytes of RAM? The answer may surprise you!
