#42 - Being a ’Lois & Clark’ fan outside the USA (with Daniela Rod and Stuart Mulrain)

"Judas priest!"

In our second and final special episode celebrating 30 years of "Lois & Clark", Rob is joined by long-time listeners and friends of the show Daniela Rod and Stuart Mulrain - both of whom watched and loved "Lois & Clark" outside the USA. We discuss our different experiences with the show, how it resonated with us and how uniquely different the show's marketing was in the UK especially (where it wasn't even called 'Lois & Clark'!).

And we get Daniela and Stuart's Top 5 episodes! Top 5 moments! And of course their Top 5 GOOFY GUYS.
