Jason Inman (former DC All Access host, host of Geek History Lesson, and comic book writer/screenwriter) joins us this week to talk honestly about his rural hometown of Stark, Kansas, where he used to cruise for ears of corn, and how he got into comic books despite not having a local comic book shop. Jason Inman shares his path from the corn fields of Kansas to a media career in Los Angeles, tells us why he identifies with another farm boy from Kansas (Superman), and reveals how other superheroes would change if their origin story was set in Stark. PLUS: Jason reveals the difference between Kansas raccoons and Hollywood raccoons.
