Is it possible to be a groupie for a production designer? 

On a podcast as obsessed with the look and feel of Lois & Clark as with the characters themselves, it is an honor and privilege to welcome Production Designer Jim Pohl to the show. From his early work at Lucasfilm and ILM to his thoughtful crafting of 1990s Metropolis, Jim puts his heart and soul into everything he does. There aren't enough characters allowed in this description to properly thank Jim for taking this stroll down memory lane… or for showing me his Atomic Space Rat collection!

After 10 long years of podcasting, it's finally happening! Writing, executive producing, and showrunning partners Eugenie Ross-Leming and Brad Buckner bravely venture back into 90s Metropolis to talk all things Lois & Clark! From haircuts to coordinating an alien invasion on a television budget, Eugenie and Brad were involved in every aspect of the show's third and fourth seasons and have a lifetime's worth of stories to show for it. Not to mention the rest of their television journey, which includes cameos from Norman Lear, Sam and Dean Winchester, and possibly a performing seal or two.

Huge thanks to them both for being so generous with their time and insights. Can't wait to see what they make for us next!
