THIS ADVENTURE!

Peter and Daniel are joined by Young Indiana Jones and Radioland Murders Assistant Director, Waldo Roeg, for an in-depth conversation about his career and time with Lucasfilm. Waldo Roeg was there during the third season of Young Indy, which took him around the world, from America to Thailand, before ultimately shifting over to work on Radioland Murders.

Waldo was quite literally born into cinema — the son of legendary filmmaker Nicolas Roeg (Don’t Look Now, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Walkabout) and actress Susan Stephen (The Red Beret, Carry On Nurse). In this wide-ranging discussion, he reflects on what it meant to grow up around filmmakers, being on set for Lawrence of Arabia and Superman, and so much more.

Young Indiana Jones wasn’t just a TV series — it was a proving ground for filmmakers, a training ground for future innovators, and a rare example of cinematic ambition brought to television. Waldo Roeg’s firsthand stories offer a unique window into how those productions actually worked, and how film culture is passed down not just through movies, but through families.If you’re interested in film history, behind-the-scenes production stories, Lucasfilm in the 1990s, or the human side of growing up inside the industry, this episode is for you.Subscribe to The Young Indy Chroniclers for more deep dives into Young Indiana Jones, George Lucas, Lucasfilm history, and the untold stories behind iconic productions.*Late Pledges Still Available*While our Kickstarter campaign has officially ended, *late pledges are still open* for *George Lucas: The Lost Golden Age*.

THIS ADVENTURE! After a brief hiatus, the Chroniclers returns with a deep-dive conversation that gets to the very heart of what The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles was truly about: history, war, peace, and the human cost behind political decisions.In this episode, hosts Peter Holmstrom and Daniel Noa welcome back Sergio Rojo, an Argentinian diplomat with deep expertise in international relations, for an expansive discussion on secret peace treaties in World War I as portrayed in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.

This conversation goes far beyond episode recap. We connect the series’ themes to real historical events, including the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires, the rise of modern nation-states, and the long shadow World War I cast over the 20th century.Late Pledges Still Available!While our Kickstarter campaign has officially ended, late pledges are still open for *George Lucas: The Lost Golden Age*.
