Thanks for the heads up, was looking forward to listening to this!
2.5 hours ??! Damn. I'll read the discussion here instead of listening to an interview that long.
Notes
-Bendis confirms again he's not rebooting anything and loves the current runs
-Bendis confirms Pat Gleason is drawing Action Comics
-Bendis wasn't aware of a big trunks controversy, he was just offered if the trunks should be on Superman and he said yes
-Bendis will address the trunks in the comics directly in the comics, people in Metropolis will discuss the trunks and their opinion of them
-Bendis refers to Superman as Clark a lot when he talks about him to editors and firends, will focus a lot more when he's not superman
-Clark being a investigative reporter will be a big part of Bendis run, being a reporter is the first thing Clark really chose for himself according to Bendis.
-Lois will be important, Bendis thinks she is the most fearless person in all of comics
-On the marriage: "So many people are worried about the state of their marriage and the state of their family. You should be. What they are attempting to do is so enormous and it is so delicate, and so precious, and there is so much pressure on them coming from so many different directions. You absolutely should be scared for that delicate, beautiful relationship." (thanks rosawater for the full quote)
-We'll get a lot of Perry's point of view and focus on daily planet as a newspaper(also the dying aspect of newspapers)
-Big Plans for Jimmy, Bendis can't say what yet
-Mike Cotton and Brian Cunningham are the editors on his Superman titles
Last 30 minutes of the podcast seem to be about his health scare he had, so I have missed something at the end.

thanks DP, I'd have to drive to Disneyworld to knock that out in one sitting. And I doubt many comic people have a voice for radio lol
Co-host of Ultimate Spin - the Spider-Fan podcast for Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen!
And check out our in-depth podcast interviews with their creators!
Hearing that Bendis was offered both Wolverine and Deadpool at Marvel makes me feel like a bullet was dodged when Bendis decided to leave. I'm a fan of his work (for the most part) but the idea of Bendis on either of those books (despite his making good use of DP as a guest star in Defenders)...no thank you. A thousand times, no. It makes me depressed on behalf of those characters to even think about it and relieved that neither of those things came to pass. To his credit, Bendis made the right decision. Hopefully the right people will be on those books and Bendis can accomplish better things on Superman.

I think the real tough challenge will be rescuing Superman from the catastrophe Bendis is about to inflict upon it.
Well, that's good.
Cool!-Bendis confirms Pat Gleason is drawing Action Comics
I guess we know who we have to thank for getting the trunks back and leaving behind the Reborn costume .-Bendis wasn't aware of a big trunks controversy, he was just offered if the trunks should be on Superman and he said yes
-Bendis will address the trunks in the comics directly in the comics, people in Metropolis will discuss the trunks and their opinion of them
I really don't need to see the trunks coming back as this thing people in-universe are constantly talking about.
I can see this irking some people but I think Bendis would probably do a better job with Clark then he would "Superman."-Bendis refers to Superman as Clark a lot when he talks about him to editors and firends, will focus a lot more when he's not superman
Probably good for Bendis to lean into what he would feel more at home with, like Clark as an investigative reporter.-Clark being a investigative reporter will be a big part of Bendis run, being a reporter is the first thing Clark really chose for himself according to Bendis.
No arguments there.-Lois will be important, Bendis thinks she is the most fearless person in all of comics
More Planet, more Perry, and more Jimmy? Sounds great!-We'll get a lot of Perry's point of view and focus on daily planet as a newspaper(also the dying aspect of newspapers)
-Big Plans for Jimmy, Bendis can't say what yet
Sounds good.-Mike Cotton and Brian Cunningham are the editors on his Superman titles
I could see him doing an okay Wolverine run but a Deadpool run by Bendis would probably be like Daniel Way's run...so, glad we dodged that bullet.
If anything it might be like the drama he injected into Jessica and Luke's marriage at the beginning of his second volume of Jessica Jones.
So he won't break them up, but there might be some marital difficulties or tension.
