This week, we’re continuing our discussion with Livi Watkinson (@liviwatka) of her problematic fave, Kylo Ren. Johnny O’Mara’s connection cut out for the second half of our recording session, so he couldn't join us for this part.  As with last week, there is some clicking in Kat’s audio that Maddie did her best to fix.  I apologize — I didn’t want to lose Kat’s contributions, so I made the call to leave her portions in even if it’s distracting at times.  It is resolved about 1/3 of the way in. The fic Livi refers to in this episode is at (https://archiveofourown.org/works/5838751) You can catch more Johnny O'Mara, James D'Amato, and Kat Kuhl on the Campaign Podcast at www.oneshotpodcast.com/category/campaign/ Opening and closing music by @samuraiguit.  Logo by @JasonBaesel.  Send questions, comments, and tips to @roguetldr on Twitter.  Our Spacebook page, managed by Livi Watkinson, is https://www.facebook.com/nevertellmethepods/  Buy our merch at http://www.redbubble.com/people/shirtbaes/collections/606008-never-tell-me-the-pods

Episode 90 - Poe's Hunny Hunt

Welcome to our live show, recorded at Star Wars Celebration!!! In this episode, we sort various characters along the goth, prep, nerd, and jock axis. You can see the chart in the show notes, or if you're on iTunes, here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/ntmtp/G9qTOZRy.jpg  Sorry in advance about how echoey it is! It was a big room and our primary method of recording didn't work. Thanks again to everyone who's supported us over the years. This is probably the biggest achievement we could ever imagine for this show, and you all made it possible. -- James is @OneShotRPG, Johnny is @JohnnyInBriefs, Kat is @kat_kuhl_ and Pranks is @RogueTLdr on Twitter.

Episode 89 - Star Charts

Hello Podawans, and May the 4th be with you. This week, we get to talk to Vanessa Marshall, who plays Hera on Star Wars Rebels! Thanks so much to Rich Howard of Whelmed: The Young Justice Files for setting this up. Friends, this week we lost Peter Mayhew, the original man behind the mighty Chewbacca. My feelings on it are still raw, but I’m hoping to do an episode on the fuzzball soon. You can find the concept art of Hera we’re referring to here:  https://thewookieegunner.com/2014/04/19/star-wars-rebels-at-wondercon-2014/star-wars-rebels-concept-art-hera-syndulla/ Follow Vanessa at @vanmarshall on Twitter, or vanessamarshall1138 on Instagram. You can also find her voicing Gamora on Guardians of the Galaxy on Disney XD. -- James is @OneShotRPG, Johnny is @JohnnyInBriefs, Kat is @kat_kuhl_ and Pranks is @RogueTLdr on Twitter.
