Oh No, They're Hot
Feb 2500:49:33Tap to summarizeChapters 6-10 of Shadow Academy by Rebecca Moesta and Kevin J Anderson finally introduces the book's namesake: Brakiss' Shadow Academy. In this episode, we daydream about the Fox Kids show that never was, get a Carl jumpscare, Tenel-ka gets a plant turnt by accident, and both Meg and Lizzie meet their kryptonite: hot villains. This episode's listener question is: If you were kidnapped by the Empire and taken to the Shadow Academy, what is the one thing they could do to make you more comfortable and start to trust them?

All's Well That Ends...Not As Bad As It Could Have
Dec 2400:55:21Tap to summarizeCan you believe this episode is a wrap on "Heirs of the Force", the first book of the Young Jedi Knights Series by Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta?! I sure can't, but we have great discussion on why Han Solo is the most difficult EU character to write, how Tenel-Ka is the ideal modern romantasy heroine, and this isn't the last we'll see of Qorl. Our listener question isn't a question, it's a call for your best Star Wars joke! If you don't have an original one that's homemade, store bought is fine too (or semi-homemade)!
