But if the residents are forced to leave, and if their heritage has been permanently changed, then what exactly is being preserved?

In this episode, we're joined by Matt B Lloyd, to answer the question 'Who is Mr Terrific?'. First appearing for DC Comics in 1942, Mr Terrific is actually two different characters, with the second appearing in 1997. Both found their way to crimefighting in unexpected ways but quickly grew into the role. Terry Sloane, then Michael Holt, are both non-super-powered characters trying to do their best for their communities. With a possible TV show in the works, this is definitely worth a listen!

In this episode, we're joined by Matt B Lloyd to discuss the TV show 'Inspector Morse'. Airing between 1987 and 2000, Inspector Morse is a British TV classic. Following the titular character as he investigates crime as a member of the Thames Valley Police, each feature-length episode covered a lot of ground. Part detective show, part character-led drama, the show has many layers which appeal to a wide range of people. Mat explores some of these layers, looking at the ones that appealed directly to him, while also explaining more about the show as a whole.

In this episode, we're joined by Scott Weatherly to answer 'who is Moon Knight'. First appearing in Marvel's 'Werewolf by Night' in 1975, Moon Knight was initially created as an antagonist for the title's hero. The image of the character stuck in people's minds and over the years, he became a much deeper and more complicated character. Scott gives us an idea of this character's journey and just how complex he has become. Scott also shares with us his history with the character, and why he thinks they're so underrated.
