In 2009, Michael Bailey and Jeffrey Taylor joined forces to start From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast. The show (which originally had a five year mission and that...didn't happen) had a simple premise...cover the Superman comics published between Man of Steel #1 in 1986 and Adventures of Superman #649 in 2006.

Now they've gotten to the point where Lois and Clark have gotten married, so for a variety of reasons they are changing the name of the show (but not the numbering...Jeff put his foot down on that) to reflect this new era.
