(ETG 29) The League of Regrettable Superheroes

Published on: 19th July, 2023

Years ago, when lootcrate seemed to be God's gift to geeks, Chris got a little book by Jon Morris, called the League of Regrettable Superheroes. It sat on a shelf until very recently, when it was cracked open and every page was indulged in. This episode is kind of like a book report about that book presented to the class by a couple of squirrels. We did however talk about some of the heroes who could have well made their way onto some of the pages of The League of Regrettable Superheroes, had they not been given a second chance.

My name is Chris Parsons, and about 5 years ago, I started a podcast with an old computer and a microphone that I found on eBay. The title of that show was Entertain the Geeky. More than anything, ETG served as a means of filling a void, which my sales job had left in my life. I was no longer part of the nerdy industry that I loved; I had sold out. It couldn't end like that! So, I got in touch with a friend who worked at a comic book shop, with me, and asked if he would be interested in hanging out on Sundays and recording this goofy show with me. He was on board and we were off to the races. More than anything, we over-promised and under-delivered. We started designing tabletop games, we onboarded sponsors, and we started a second title. With plans for a third show and a bright future ahead of us, we pressed on! Life had a different plan... I left my sales job and moved. Recording slowed drastically and ETG started to die. I started an online business, and went to work part time for a gaming store, with another friend from the comic shop that I used to work at. He like me, loves to talk and we decided to,(you guessed it) start a podcast.
We started the show Who Wears the Pants, and have had a blast pushing through the almost therapeutic recording sessions. My co-host started a new business and it reminded me of the birth of my first show. I was able to look back and see some of what I had done wrong , with podcasting in particular. I had arrived at the conclusion that I had only began to scratch the surface of my potential within this domain. The growth and potential of ETG and the fulfillment of WWTP existed somewhere in a new show. Here we are now. With a new show that focuses on the extraordinary that exists within the seemingly normal. We are only slightly average.
