"Behind the Trinity" is a three-episode podcast I have made for my final college class. It explores the histories and continuing cultural relevance of DC Comics' three greatest heroes: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman!

This is the third and final of the three episodes in which I discuss Wonder Woman. I hope you enjoy it!
