Has anyone listened to any of the Union Dues stories by Jeffrey R. DeRego on the Escape Pod podcast?

I haven't. What are they about?

The basic premise is that anyone exhibiting super powers gets conscripted into an organisation called The Union that does all your usual superhero type stuff, plus deals with marketing of toys and comics, designs costumes etc.

There have been 4 stories so far, and they deal with the reactions of the general public (usually hostility) and those who are less than keen on being conscripted.
