The two of them spiral deep down into the anime rabbit hole. From planets to cities of gold, or Japan to the library of congress, who knows where this fun conversation will lead!?

A long time ago, on a podcast far far away....ok, it wasn't that long ago on a podcast available today, JD speaks with his second Star Wars collector. This episode it is KC in Atlanta and the episode was almost called "the joy awakens" for how much of it is contained in this conversation.

A life long Star Wars fan born in to a Star Wars loving family, KC talks with JD about her love of the movies and about Lego, Toys, Cats, Greedo and not letting children touch the "collectibles".

"This IS the Star Wars fan you've been looking for!"
