#7 - The Shiny Shoes Show

Universe Box — Wed, 24 Sep 2014 00:00:00 +0000

(S01E01) A rich couple gunned down in Crime Alley. Their kid takes it personal. A green detective named Jim takes to the street with his cynical companion. Cat Girl hangs out all over town. A murder’s solved, then unsolved, then solved again. Let’s hope Frankie the Butcher made it out alive in this week’s episode ‘Pilot’.

#8 - Meow Let's Talk Gotham

Universe Box — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 00:00:00 +0000

(S01E02) When is it better for a kid to be thinner? When bad guys take them and pack them for dinner. When is Bruce Wayne more like a shelf? When he holds his hand flat while testing himself. Who is “The Dollmaker”? Nobody knows. Who are his minions in fancy dress clothes? And when is a child more like a cat? You’d have to ask “Selina Kyle” about that.

#9 - I Scream/Float

Universe Box — Wed, 08 Oct 2014 00:00:00 +0000

(S01E03) When does Gotham’s trash hang overhead? When a man with weather balloons wants that trash dead. When raising Bruce safely where is the border? It isn’t the fencing. It’s the eating disorder. When will the cops care? Depends on the line. Is it colored blue with a cop’s body behind? And what of the Penguin’s Arkham-themed plan? Wait until next week. Let’s talk “The Balloonman”.

#10 - That's So Penguin!

Universe Box — Thu, 16 Oct 2014 00:00:00 +0000

(S01E04) When is a bodyguard not a sharp guy? When he lets a man in a trenchcoat sever his eye. Who will build the new Arkham City? The mob isn’t know for making things pretty. Is Oswald too clever? He’s clever enough. Are his pastries filled with the usual stuff? Will the asylum be saved, or remain retched slums? Everybody wants a piece of “Arkham”. PLUS: A Special message from the director of “Arkham” TJ Scott (@TJScottPictures on Twitter)!

Universe Box — Wed, 22 Oct 2014 00:00:00 +0000

(S01E05) How many men to lift a machine? It only takes one if the good stuff is green. What will Jim Gordon come to regret? Leaving the Penguin alive but wet. Is WellZyn corrupt? Bruce Wayne’s on the case. Will Al burn the piles of files in his face? Will the medical oddities make Nygma hyper? Of course! It happens in this week’s episode “Viper”.

#12 - Harvey Bullock: Boy Detective

Universe Box — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 00:00:00 +0000

(S01E06) Who would conspire to kill these rich kids? The Goat has the answer but he stays off the grid. If Bullock’s a cynic what made him that way? His old partner failing then falling away. Is Ed Nygma bored? Well he’s downstairs filing. Is Kris Kringle’s manner uptight or beguiling? Will Jim fess up about the Penguin who floats? Chaos ensues in ‘Spirit of the Goat’.

(S01E07) Who wants to kill our good pal Jimmy G? Who doesn’t is quicker to answer you see. Who sends a killer after a cop? The same man who’s tending to chickens non-stop. Does love conquer all? Penguin has thoughts. Will he make his point before Maroni’s man clots? Snitches get stiches. Is that true for this fella? Not when he’s holding “Penguin’s Umbrella”.

#14 - Fight Club Junior

Universe Box — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0000

(S01E08) If business is war then who is the victim? Ask Mr. Sionis. He’s sure to have kicked ‘em. Who would dare punch the orphan Bruce Wayne? Whoever he is he’ll be hushed by the pain. Is there a fight club? No one can say unless they want Ed to wheel them away. Will the police do their jobs if nobody asks? Harvey does (Essen too) in this week’s “The Mask”.

Universe Box — Thu, 20 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0000

(S01E09) Why doesn’t a lawyer have better lighting? Dent’s half in the dark, but he’s down with Jim’s fighting. When is a mansion like an old box? When a young Cat sleeps behind the locks. Did Hargrove build bombs? Yes, to a point. Why does he think he should be in the joint? If Barbara’s not home why’s she still paying rent? A Cat/Bat food fight in this week’s “Harvey Dent”.

Where’s Mr. Lovecraft? Not home it seems. Could the intel he has topple hooting regimes? Will Dent’s mistake be exposed, or will Jim get the shaft? Out from the mansion in this week’s “Lovecraft”.

We all heard the shot. Is he loyal to Fish Mooney or not? If a man gets shocked will he burn a calorie? We find out in this week’s new ep “Rogues’ Gallery”.

Will the Commish rehire Jim? Gordon’s sure hoping. Will Falcone please stop it with all the nape groping? If penguins are birds how can they swim? Who cares?

He’d say “of course.” Does Penguin party? You bet your butt. Will the booze create the bird’s famous gut. Will Fish finally rally, or face Arkham’s new warden?

Probably not. Where did he get all the limbs that he brought? Is the doctor a genius, or simply insane? We’ll find out in this week’s “The Fearsome Dr. Crane”.

She doesn’t know. Will she climb up or stay stranded below? If fear is the edge then what lies in the shadows? Jonathan finds out in this week’s “The Scarecrow”.

Universe Box — Wed, 18 Feb 2015 01:00:00 +0000

(S01E16) When is a boy more like a bomb? When he is raised by a Snake Lady mom. Where can one find a fighting clown surplus? If you ask Jim (plus one) he’s say “Hayley’s Circus”. Is the answer a parent? On Gotham? For sure. Will Robin be named Jim when the Graysons mature? Will Barbara break from what Jim didn’t tell her? Many jokers to fear in “The Blind Fortune Teller”.

Universe Box — Wed, 25 Feb 2015 01:00:00 +0000

(S01E17) How does a spy become a manservant? By being the best… Loyal and observant. Will Dollmaker’s henchmen get Fish to agree? Depends on how much of his plan she can see. Is a mask a symbol or is the guard blind? Is a crimson hood poison to a criminal mind? Gotham’s pure evil. Isn’t that good? The clothes are all weapons in this week’s “The Red Hood”.

(S05E11-12) "THEY DID WHAT?" and "THE BEGINNING" - What story started five years ago? It’s about a city, a calling, a Dark Knight hero. What comprised most of our thrillin’?

"Everly Heights Tales" Preview - A New Audio Drama from Bill Meeks, creator of the thing you're subscribed to

Universe Box — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 16:47:53 +0000

A sneak peek at an upcoming episode of the new audio drama anthology from Bill Meeks.

Meet the Special family, a theater-loving, stoner couple and their three very different kids. It’s 1994, and Michael and Jennifer Special are just trying to help fund in the arts in their community, but their son Ricky is on the run from a school bully, and their daughter Zara is betting everything on a plan to start the school year as a popular girl. With a mix of '90s nostalgia, sitcom homages, and a healthy dose of humor, "Welcome, Freshmen" will teach you the joys of scented oxygen, the perils of Crystal Pepsi, and why you should never trust a math teacher to do "creative accounting" for the arts. Equal parts funny, smart, and a little messed up, just like Everly Heights itself.

"Make Your Own Luck," a romantic tale inspired by our work on Legends of Gotham

Universe Box — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 20:28:58 +0000

In the podcast studio deep inside the Franklin W. Dixon Memorial Library, Jeremy Hahn is recording the latest episode of his Dogboy Adventures fan podcast "Greetings from Colta City." He’s invited his theater buddy Clara Danvers on to dissect Dogboy's "subversive" violence, but he didn't plan for the chemistry crackling across the studio in his meticulous show doc. While Jeremy hides behind his fandom, Clara derails the recording with a plot twist he never saw coming. A romantic story about the roles we play to protect ourselves and the courage it takes to make a move.

In the aftershow, creator Bill Meeks chats with Rebecca Johnson (voice of Clara Danvers, host of Supergirl Radio, and the voice of LeAnne Snyder on The Fakist) about their long history as creative collaborators, starting as rival Once Upon a Time podcasters before launching sister podcasts based on DC Comics TV properties. They look back on their history of "bringing the heat" to each other's projects, including the time Bill voiced the spectral Deadman for Rebecca’s Supergirl Radio holiday special. A celebration of the community hiding in the "clerical work" of fan podcasting and the joys of a creative partnership that spans a dozen projects and more than a decade.

NEXT TIME: A thrilling action tale set in the TV studios of local TV station WART-TV.
