Welcome to Why Not?!, Episode 1: "What If Why Not?! Talked About What We Need To Talk About In Order to Talk About Alpha Flight (Part 1)" And if you recognize the reference, well, you’re our people AND you should let us know in the comments. Like, any comments. Comments totally separate from this podcast even. In fact! We prefer that.
So, if you’re still here, we hope you discover, well, a lot. Like:
- The beginnings of Canada’s dystopian superhero scene
- A feel for the workplace tragicomedy that is Alpha Flight
- How effective it can be to punch someone in the back of the head if you have super-speed
- How great the 616-Canada is at building super-teams; less so at information-gathering
- And a good bit of superhero fashion convo

We’ve had a lot of fun making this and we really do hope you enjoy it, too. And even if you don’t, a great rating and review costs you nothing. Literally nothing. Not even five seconds, right? Less time than it takes Guardian to cross Canada.
