I'm bored so I thought I'd share this with you...

Anybody else follows the adventures of the greatest Canadian superhero of the 1930s, the Red Panda? The Red Panda, mysterious crusader for justice hide his true identity as one of Toronto's wealthiest man. Only his trusted sidekick, Kitt Baxter, who joins him in his quest under the guise of the Flying Squirrel knows who wears the mask of the Red Panda!

The Red Panda was created by actor/playwright Greg Taylor of Toronto and he and his group, Decoder Ring Theatre, tell his tales through old school -style radio drama available as free podcasts at www.decoderringtheatre.com . They also have the mystery solving action of Black Jack Justice (though I don't follow those).

The Red Panda is just awesome! The story are fun, quick (only half an hour) with lots of humor and wit and great characters.

The Red Panda is a masked vigilente and has no real super power beyond his incredible mastery of hypnotism, but like Batman he's smart, invents gadget and knows how to fight. He also got a nice flair for the dramatic.

Episode 2 'Night Patrol, Episode 6 'Red Panda: Dead or Alive', Episode 15 'When Darkness Falls' and Episode 17 'Merlin's Tomb' are among my favorite! 'The Golden Claw' is pretty sweet too since it introduces a recurring villain. Episode 6 introduces another superhero: Tom Tomorow, Man of the Future and episode 17 instroduces us to 'The Stranger'.

It's all so cool... I hope others will get interested and start listening! Would be fun to have someone to discuss this with...

And if you known any other audio drama podcasts then share them!
