#TalkDaredevil is a podcast about all things Daredevil in the greater Marvel universe, brought to you by the women behind #SaveDaredevil.
On November 29, 2018, just as planning on Season 4 was about to get underway, Daredevil was abruptly cancelled by Netflix, and Marvel fans everywhere wondered if they’d ever see the Man Without Fear on-screen again. Since that cancellation, the #SaveDaredevil campaign worked to keep hope and momentum for Daredevil’s return alive. In the wake of Daredevil’s revival as a mature-rated Disney+ series, Daredevil: Born Again, the campaign lives on as #SavedDaredevil and a representative of the Fandom Without Fear.
Join Rhiannon, Shelby, and Kacey as they very excitedly cover such topics as seeing Jon Bernthal on Broadway, why teasers are good actually, all the Daredevil: Born Again characters we should be worried about, and where Karen got that car.

It’s been thrilling to finally reach the end of season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again, and appropriate that our fiftieth episode of #TalkDaredevil is dedicated to reviewing the final two episodes. Ayesha, KC, and Kristina had quite a lot to discuss between these two packed episodes, so let’s jump in together!
Christine, Ayesha, and Shelby are back to discuss three more episodes of Daredevil: Born Again. They touch on issues such as how much fun a bank robbery can be when you're Matt Murdock, Matt and Heather's complicated relationship, Cherry's stance on vigilantes, Wilson Fisk ranting about Daredevil, and how to wrap our brains around that painting scene.
Fandom Without Fear, you’re in for a treat! This very special #TalkDaredevil episode features an exclusive interview with Daredevil: Born Again showrunner Dario Scardapane and executive producer Sana Amanat. We discuss how they landed their Born Again gigs, their awareness of fan expectations, favorite moments from the OG Daredevil series, and so much more.
This episode 3 and 4 conversation covers a little bit of everything, from superhero workout routines to bullet casings, and whether Gracie Mansion really has a cell in the basement. But also a lot of Matt and Frank’s epic reunion, the scene that would have been worthy of its own episode of the podcast.
Christine, Ayesha, and Shelby officially kick off our review episodes for this first season of Daredevil: Born Again!

SHOW NOTES
Check the timestamps below and watch out for spoilers for the first episode of Echo. And if you want to stay clear of any and all news, rumors and sightings pertaining to Daredevil: Born Again, you may want to proceed with caution!
After a relatively quiet period of news for Daredevil: Born Again during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the latest Hollywood Reporter article hits us with some dramatic developments regarding the creative status of DD:BA as well as Marvel Studios’ TV arm in general. Phyllis and Rhiannon sit down for a quick pod to discuss what it all means and how we’re feeling about the news.
SHOW NOTES
Some of Team #SavedDaredevil’s biggest Covert Affairs fangirls, Rhiannon, Shelby and Christine, sit down today to discuss the 2010 USA Network espionage series about Annie Walker (played by Piper Perabo), an idealistic young CIA trainee who is thrown into duty early as a field operative and guided by her handler, a blind CIA military intelligence agent, Auggie Anderson (Christopher Gorham). The five seasons of the show follow Annie as she develops her skills as a spy while balancing a double life. But why is this series being discussed at all on a Daredevil podcast? Because Covert Affairs is the most notable television credit for Daredevil: Born Again showrunners, Matt Corman and Chris Ord. We hope after listening to today’s pod, fans might feel reassured in Corman and Ord’s qualifications to handle Daredevil, and they might even find a new favorite show to binge. Enjoy!
As Daredevil: Born Again enters production and the internet hits a fevered pitch amidst set photo leaks and regular details coming out in the trades, Phyllis, Ayesha, Christine and Shelby sit down to discuss what we actually know about the revival series, and address a few things we still know nothing about. We anticipate this will be the first of many “state of the production” and DD:BA dedicated pods we’ll be pulling together as shooting continues throughout the year. And a note for our listeners - this was recorded Sunday, March 19 so if we didn’t address anything that has happened more recently, that would be why! Stay tuned for the next one!
The time has finally come for another D+ series review pod, but this one is extra special as it’s been one of our most anticipated MCU projects given its distinction as the series that relaunches Daredevil in MCU TV. Phyllis, Rhiannon, and Shelby gather on a late October morning to review, discuss and dissect all the details of the show, from She-Hulk’s place in fandom discourse, to whether Daredevil’s much-lauded appearance met our expectations (spoiler alert: it did).
Our “comics crew” consisting of Christine, Shelby, and Kacey get ready to go green with this special look at She-Hulk ahead of the show’s live-action premiere on Disney+. They discuss She-Hulk’s surprisingly impressive beginnings in the pages of Savage She-Hulk (1980), and Jennifer Walters’ more recent encounters with Matt Murdock, particularly in the hands of She-Hulk (2014) and Daredevil (2015) writer Charles Soule. They also talk about their excitement and expectations for the upcoming TV show.
Today’s full series review is a real treat, bringing together Rhiannon, Shelby, and Ayesha, our team’s biggest Kamala Khan fangirl and resident expert / dispenser of valuable insights on the authenticity of the Pakistani-Muslim experience depicted in the Marvel Studios’ latest origin series, Ms Marvel. To hear all the love, but also learn more about the details that made this particular series extra special, listen on!
