Welcome to The Manufictioners Club, a podcast that explores the business behind some of your favorite fictional technology. Everyone likes to think about the cool gadgets and gizmos science fiction has to offer, but we’re here to talk about just how all of it would get made. Each episode, the crew breaks down a different element of the product development process and gets way off into the weeds with all sorts of nerdy goodness. 

This season focuses on one of Marvel’s Finest: The Iron-Man. More specifically, how exactly the first incarnation of this life-saving, villain-wrecking machine would actually work. This episode is all about the Who. And no, we’re not talking about the famed 70s rock band. Who exactly has something to gain from the development of this armor? Tony Stark is an obvious one, but different versions of Tony have different needs. How does his first appearance compare to his big-screen debut? What about the other major players, like Yinsen, Wong Chu, Raza, or Obadiah? This episode sets the stage for the season, and it starts by laying out who exactly this project's stakeholders are.
