In this special episode of The Perilous Realms I pay tribute to one of my childhood heroes. Kevin Conroy, whose incomparable voice talents brought life to the Caped Crusader in Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1996) as well as in a plethora of other animated TV shows and video games, passed away on November 10, 2022 at the age of sixty-six. I’d like to share with you the ways Kevin Conroy impacted my life, including the story of how I met him at New York Comic Con in 2014. Rest in peace, Kevin. The world will miss the light and joy your work brought to so many.

Greetings! I’m Thomas Salerno, a Catholic podcaster and freelance writer. I’m looking for someone to share in an adventure! Won’t you join me in exploring the Perilous Realms? What or where may be the Perilous Realms? It’s the fantastic world of fantasy and science fiction! In this podcast series, we’ll be exploring the surprising connections between Christian thought and these amazing genres. Wonder and beauty and awe await us on this quest. I’m glad to have you along as a companion. Let’s set out at once, shall we?
