The episode opens with Misha acknowledging the difficulty of 2020 quarantine and framing the announcement as a recommendation for those running out of streaming content. She describes Marvels as a podcast she worked on for Marvel, based on the 1994 graphic novel by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross. The show tells the story of the Fantastic Four's battle with Galactus as experienced by a photographer, a college student, and a Daily Bugle reporter—civilian perspectives on a superhero event. Misha served as sound designer and recording engineer, building the sonic world of the show and recording the cast, which includes Method Man. The show was written by Lauren Shippen and directed by Paul Bay. Misha invites listeners familiar with her audio work on Ars Paradoxica to trust her recommendation. The first episode of Marvels was available across major platforms on the day of this announcement. The episode concludes with the Marvels trailer, a mock 1966 morning newscast mixing Cold War headlines with superhero events, building through civilian reactions to the arrival of Galactus, the Silver Surfer, and the Fantastic Four. The trailer closes with Ben Grimm's signature line and the show's full title and credits.
