The Hero Project

Dangerously Recognizable with Langston Belton!

In this episode: We go the most meta we ever have as we create a villain who lives through works of art and literature and the hapless writer Sarah who has to write the one book that could stop him! Will she succeed, or will her editor get in the way?  And is this meta or confusing? Our special guest is, in a word, legendary. You've seen him in Puffs, you've seen him in Guy Choiceman... it's the inimitable Langston Belton! As always, theme song by Arthur Brogson.

Humanasaurus ft. Phillip Bowman!

In this episode: We're joined by artist Phillip Bowman who provides us with inspiration in the form of an original drawing! Check out our IG at https://www.instagram.com/heroprojectpodcast/ to see it. We spin the tale of Humanasaurus, paleontologist by day, dinosaur by night. Will he be able to use the powers of a long-lost dinosaur civilization to defeat Lady Fern and save his ex-wife Laura Dern? Find out!

Voodoo Doll ft. Lindy Day!

In this episode: Musician, voiceover artist, and podcaster Lindy Day joins us. Thanks to a suggestion from one of our listeners, we create Voodoo Doll, the young hero who can dish out exactly what she takes! Naturally, her story involves a battle of the bands. Plus, thanks to Lindy's voiceover talents, we actually get to hear what one of heroes sounds like. Check out more of Lindy at her podcast, Fan Ramen [https://www.fanramen.com/].

Green Gob-lin ft. Marcus Bishop-Wright!

In this episode: It's another round of same name, different character, as we create the green intelligent slime gob in search of more flavor. Will he be able to escape the clutches of the Slime Master? Will we link every idea we have back to some pre-existing pop culture property? Find out as we're joined by our special guest, actor/comedian Marcus Bishop-Wright!

Shieldback Katy ft. Bryan Morris!

In this episode: Comedian Bryan Morris joins us for a discussion of his Transformers costumes that he had to throw out! Plus, it's the return of Matt's book about insects to inspire today's hero, Shieldback Katy. She's got an invincible back! We project a lot of ourselves on to Katy when we decide she's gotten into improv. Watch the Transformers sketch here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvW056Qpg5Y] and check out Bryan's podcast Buffy the Gilmore Slayer on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/gilmoreslayer/], TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@gilmoreslayer?], and Buzzsprout [https://buffythegilmoreslayer.buzzsprout.com/].
