This week Zach is joined by Tom Gehrke, who created our awesome logo as well as a lot of the other artwork you see around the podcast, to discuss the one hundred eighth episode of Smallville, "Fade." They talk Tom's Smallville fandom, the show's second attempt at an invisible man episode, Lois' characterization in her early seasons, and much more! Listen to the latest Always Hold On To Smallville before it disappears!
