Summary

Not all superheroes live in comic books. One of them walked the streets of Seattle, in full costume, calling himself Phoenix Jones. While his origin was rooted in protecting the innocent, his story took many unexpected turns. This is the tale of how one man attempted to fight crime and ultimately blurred the line between hero and villain. Phoenix Jones wanted to protect his city. He believed one person could make a difference. But his story serves as a warning: when you blur the line between justice and obsession, even heroes can fall. In the end, Phoenix Jones became a symbol of the complexities inherent in real-life heroism. Things I Learned Last Night is an educational comedy podcast where best friends Jaron Myers and Tim Stone talk about random topics and have fun all along the way.
