The Only Way Is Ethics! The Manga Bible on the Superhero Ethics podcast

I’m with Matthew Fox on the Superhero Ethics podcast. We talked manga and #TheMangaBible and I had a great time.

Full disclosure: since you can’t talk ethics (or manga, or superheroes) without also talking politics, especially when talking in 2026 to a host who lives in Minnesota, a little political comment is involved,

The show notes on the Superhero Ethics episode page reflect Matthew’s approach – playful, accessible and easy to listen to. They also gave me an insight into how the book and my arguments came across. I’m happy to say Matthew understood what I wanted to achieve; this was the takeaway I liked best of all:

“Helen’s argument is quiet but firm: this isn’t niche fandom. It’s one of the most sophisticated and durable storytelling systems the world has produced.”
