This week Zach is joined by Daniel Proulx from The Nerd Party to discuss the fifty fourth episode of Smallville, "Whisper." We talk Smallville/Star Trek crossover casting, the introduction of super hearing, the tease of Clark Kent in glasses, and the idea of kidnapping and ransom being an effective strategy in the criminal justice system. Listen closely to the latest Always Hold On To Smallville!

*A couple of misspeaks here in the wrap up, I accidentally worked off of last week's stats so Hospital Visits is 38 not 35, and Smallville High SchooL Student Deaths is 9, not 8.
