Hear ye, hear ye! Gather 'round, noble Bat-fans, for a most splendid announcement! I, the great Henry VIII, King of England, am pleased to relay that The BATTASS Podcast hath returned in triumph, hosted by the illustrious Clay McCormack and the venerable Sean Murphy! Today, they shall discourse upon the first two episodes of... season three, methinks. Or is it the tale of my third wife? No matter!

In "King's Ransom," we find our Dark Knight of the future embroiled in a royal escapade of peril and intrigue. Then, in "Untouchable," our valiant hero faces a foe more elusive than the whispers of courtly gossip. Verily, 'tis a feast for thine ears!

From DCAU Wiki:

"King's Ransom" is the third season premiere of Batman Beyond. It depicts the last appearance of the Royal Flush Gang and Paxton Powers. After a job to steal art for Paxton Powers goes sour, King decides to kidnap Powers for ransom.

"Untouchable" is the second episode of the third season of Batman Beyond. It depicts the appearance of the Repeller. A strange villain appears in Gotham stealing isotopes from various locations. Batman is instantly after him but discovers that the man is surrounded by a force field that nothing can penetrate. Meanwhile, Terry finds a new interest in Irene, a girl with an immune deficiency and therefore has to wear a belt projecting a field very much like the Repeller's.\

But wait! Our noble hosts shall also entertain queries from their devoted listeners, discussing the fine details and mysteries of the episodes. So don thy finest garb and prepare to be regaled with tales of Gotham's finest, seasoned with wit and wisdom. Whether 'tis the third season or the third bride, The BATTASS Podcast is sure to delight all who lend an ear. Huzzah!
