JUSTICE SOCIETY PRESENTS proudly celebrates #JSApril with a truly special episode! Experience a dramatic reading of the classic prose story “Dr. Mid-Nite Thinks Fast!” from All-Star Comics #6 (1941), brought to you by none other than Mr. Xum Yukinori.

A cherished member of the Fire & Water Podcast Network family, Xum passed away in late 2019, but thanks to his remarkable foresight, his voice—and his spirit—live on through the network. This previously unreleased recording, captured over five years ago, has been lovingly edited by his son, Isamu Hideaki-Yukinori.

Now, sit back and let the dulcet tones of Mr. Xum Yukinori transport you into the golden age of heroism.
