It quickly became apparent that it would never be MY type of fan's podcast. The saddest thing is that it seems to be endorsed by TOS. Heaven forbid you have anything pro EU to say over there. Or have an issue with GL's 1980's fight against changing original films to then change and "lose the originals" - but don't call GL on it or we might get labeled a hater. Or flat out called names. I just don't get how that kind of negativity towards other fans can be so popular. I actually ranted about this topic on Tosche Station a couple episodes ago. A lot of attention is given to the Prequel Bashers (and deservedly so), but the stuff The Forcecast does deserves just as much scorn and it kills me that TOS seems to give them a pass for their behavior. According to them, I'm a GL Hater because I've been critical of a small number of changes to the films and because I've expressed that the character dialog in AotC does little for me. Feel free to express rational, critical thought for any other film, but so help you if you do that to Star Wars. So yes. I don't have time in my life for podcasts or superfans who think it's their job to evaluate your level of fandom and put derogatory labels on you because you don't agree with their minuscule worldview.

If you're going to have a SW podcast nowadays, with no more movies coming out, you can't just shove the EU aside to say "ESB ROCKS YEAHHH" for an hour. Not fun. Just people talking about random EU things and a bit of news about new releases and stuff are what I like. That's what we do on Tosche Station. A little bit of reviewing, but mostly discussion with a decent amount of Expanded Universe. I have no idea how a Star Wars podcast could talk for an hour about the movies and only the movies every week. I certainly can't. _________________ Founder and writer at Tosche Station.

ADG12311990 Padawan Joined: 20 Jun 2011 Posts: 85 Location: Greeley, Colorado, America, Earth, Sol System, Sector 13-A, Outer Rim, Milky Way Galaxy I've talked about how the ForceCast needs to show more love to the EU. Which they seem to be doing, two weeks ago they released a roundtable about Darth Plagueis, and had Erich Schoeneweiss from Del Ray as a guest. Sure, there are some problems (Such as Jason's dislike of the EU, and when Kyle Newman does the same thing that Jason does. But, I still love the show, yes there are some things they could do better, But they do a lot of cool things (The interviews and the Clone Wars roundtables for one) And they don't just talk about the films ALL THE TIME. but if it wasn't for them, I might not have even gotten in touch with Dee Bradley Baker. I also love the EUCast, and The Star Wars Report, and a number of the TOR podcasts. _________________ Got a piece of Chewstim?

Murray1134 Padawan Joined: 16 Jan 2012 Posts: 55 Location: Roanoke, VA I listen to a lot of podcasts. I have a very boring cube job, so listening to podcasts are what helps to keep me sane. As for Star Wars specific podcasts, I listen to The ForceCast and there Clone Wars Roundtables and We Talk Clones. I used to listen to Star Wars Action News, but the hosts attitude and my waning interest in collecting really pushed me away from the show. I've had my issues with The ForceCast, but all in all I generally like the show. I do skip the collecting and EU based shows, they just weren't able to grab me. We Talk Clones has really grown a lot since the first season when I started listening. The hosts and discussions are a lot of fun, and I like to hear different views on the Clone Wars show. I've had a lot of the same issues as others listed, and more than once I've thought about giving up on Star Wars podcasts all together, but there is usually enough positive stuff to keep my subscriptions. _________________ "That's just my opinion, I could be wrong" TK-5990 EUCantina Comic Book Reviewer

They talk about different subjects. The one I listened to was about eBooks and publishing. One neat thing about the podcast is that it was fairly short, a little over 20 minutes long. They picked a subject, discussed it, and wrapped up. I'm not sure how well that would work for a Star Wars podcast, but it definitely made it easy to listen to. _________________

Darth Skuldren Moderator Joined: 04 Feb 2008 Posts: 5760 Location: Missouri Lately my podcast rotation has been between Rebel Force Radio, Full of Sith, and Bombad Radio. Rebel Force Radio is hosted by Jimmy Mac and Jason Swank, they guys who used to do The ForceCast. It's funny, cause when I first started this thread, I didn't really like their podcast, but now I do. I've also grown to enjoy the Jedi Journals podcast (though it only comes out once a month, so a much longer wait). Full is Sith is a relatively new podcast, but I like the hosts and the topics are usually pretty good. They also have some nice interviews. Bombad Raido I primarily listen to for the interviews, and I've found they really do a great job at asking questions and getting the authors/actors talking. The hosts also have good chemistry and the topics are always positive. Star Wars Book Report is also still in my regular lineup, but they've been posting kind of erratically as of late. I also tune into Star Wars Beyond the Films from time to time. Non-Star Wars, my favorite podcast is Big Pop Fun which is hosted by the guy who played Biff in Back to the Future. Very entertaining and he has some great guests. Mark Hamill and James Arnold Taylor were both on at one point. I highly recommend it. _________________

Elyse, if she's able to make one of the new show's monthly recordings. But she has been super busy. She always has been unfortunately. While good for her, we miss her voice and opinions on EUCast. _________________ -Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush. I don't give a damn.

Radio show that you get from websites or just basic itunes. They are recorded and generally released free. Some discuss comics (IGN Assemble, iFanboy, etc.) and some movies (Keepin' it Reel) and some even just random stuff (This American Life, Radiolab, Fuzzy Typewriter) but good ones exist for pretty much everything that you would want. I listen to them for reviews on books/comics/movies and such and for news on my favorite fandoms. I also listen to political podcasts (several, I like getting a lot of sides to issues before I make up my own mind) and such. Try a few (the ones I recommended are my favorites...also try The Nerdist). They are fun and kill time if you are driving or working somewhere you can use an iPod. _________________ Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice.

Sunless Padawan Joined: 15 May 2013 Posts: 14 Location: Melbourne. Because of this thread I have so far checked out the Star Wars Book Report. I do pick and choose episodes however, because I try to avoid spoilers where I can. I've been loving the episodes done with Stackpole about the X-Wing books. Great interviews, the guys ask the right questions and Stackpole I could listen to for hours. When it comes to the EU and podcasts I'm going to have to stick to the pick and choose method, only because I like being surprised. I'm only up to Children of the Jedi. I did notice an interview with Drew Karpyshan, and I'll wait till I finished the Bane trilogy. Nearly finished Path.
