A few months ago, we talked to Ben Rathert about his passion for burning semibiographical Volume CDs throughout his life with an episode entitled "Ben's Volume 116." This week, he's back with Volume 41, a much earlier entry (obviously) from fall 2001 about his hero -- Superman. Ben discusses how the idea of Superman has been and continues to be a real-life inspiration; maybe superheroes have power after all. 

Check out our Spotify playlist of this ep for full versions of these songs (where available).
