The Podcast Of Steel

In this episode, I’m joined by Dallas Campbell to talk about his journey from acting into the world of space and science storytelling. We explore the creative side of space exploration—from iconic logos and spacesuits to the deeper human stories behind it all—and dive into his new book Space Journal: The Art and Science of Cosmic Exploration, which is out now. The book brings together the beauty of space art with the science behind it, offering a unique look at how exploration has been shaped by both imagination and discovery.We also look ahead to the future, chatting about the Moon, Mars, and NASA’s Artemis missions, and why space continues to inspire curiosity and wonder. It’s a fun, thoughtful conversation about exploration, creativity, and what drives us to look beyond our world.Where you can find Dallas  online:Website: https://www.dallascampbell.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedallascampbell/X: https://x.com/dallascampbellThanks for listening.

The Supergirl trailer from DC Comics and WB is finally here, and in this episode I share my reaction to it. I dive into the biggest moments, the bold visuals, and the clues we’re getting about Kara’s journey—especially the clear influences from Tom King’s Woman of Tomorrow and the gorgeous artwork by Bilquis Evely and Matheus Lopes.  With Milly Alcock starring as Supergirl, Craig Gillespie directing, and a screenplay by Ana Nogueira, this film is shaping up to be something truly exciting and with its release set for June 26th, 2026, I break down what this first look reveals about the tone, world-building, and character direction, and why the trailer has me more hyped than ever for Supergirl’s next chapter.

This episode is part of my Luke Up series which celebrates James Gunn's Superman film and I’m thrilled to be joined by the amazing Trevor Newlin. Mr Handsome!

We chat about his journey from theatre in Texas to the world of big-screen movie monsters, and how a life-changing moment with Doug Jones helped launch his career in suit performance.

In this very special episode, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with the incredibly talented artist Howie Noel—someone whose love for Superman shines through in every piece of art he creates. We talked about his creative journey, the deeply personal experiences that fuel his work, and how a childhood love of Superman turned into something truly magical. One of my favourite moments? Hearing how James Gunn himself saw Howie’s Superman artwork and shared it. As fans, we dream of moments like that—and for Howie, it was a beautiful reminder that our passions can reach people in ways we never expect. We also spoke about what Superman means to us, why fan art matters, and how storytelling shapes the legacy of our heroes. It’s an honest, emotional, and uplifting conversation about art, fandom, and finding your place in a world full of capes, hope, and heart.
