Season 3, Episode 1 - Dark Nest I: The Joiner King

Rub your forearms together for the kingly Nate Tapp, who joins our hive mind as the podcast enters its insectoid era all about Troy Denning's Dark Nest trilogy! Grab a can of gelmeat and an orb of membrosia for an episode that's crawling with conversation about audiobook omissions, thorny throuples, and a Prime Unu who may have violated the Prime Directive...

Season 2, Episode 20 - New Jedi Order Retrospective

After nineteen novels, we wistfully turn the page on the New Jedi Order with an all-encompassing retrospective! It might as well be the Day of Comprehending the Will of the Gods... or at least of the Master Shapers behind this ambitious series, who we applaud for challenging our emotions, expanding our perception of the Force, and burning into our brains an entire lexicon of unforgettable Vong-cabulary words.

Season 2, Episode 19 - The Unifying Force

Prime guest Jake Beal reveals himself as the true Supreme Overlord of the podcast, reunifying with us for the New Jedi Order’s colossal conclusion. It's the end of an era, and things get downright mythic as we wreath through weighty topics like Yuuzhan Vong theology, traumatic time jumps in the TV show ReBoot, and the (best ever?) Christmas of 2003. There might even be a few surprise gifts from Shimrra Claus himself...

Season 2, Episode 18 - The Final Prophecy

The podcast interdicts huttoad Eric Ambler for the not-quite-final Final Prophecy, which sets the table for the endgame of the New Jedi Order. This snackquarium of an episode is swimming with delicacies, as we follow Nen Yim on a trip to Qahsa Bonita, drop an unusual amount of Search for Spock references, and decide which is better: Seal IV or SEAL Team Six?

Season 2, Episode 17 - Force Heretic III: Reunion

Reunited once again with Jack Stovold of "Jack's Silly Little JackCast," we transmit our final Zonama Sethoughts via telemetry on the Williams/Dix trilogy as a whole... or die trying. Added ingredients in this Esfandia-like atmospheric soup of an episode include the punting of pirates, an amalgamation of Anakins, and a Who's Who of heretics with the hots for Nom Anor!

Season 2, Episode 16 - Force Heretic II: Refugee

Future host of "The LizardCast" Jack Stovold (what an Earth ass name...) helps us decide if this middle chapter of the Heretic trilogy is a first-rate tour de Force or merely an inconsequential side mission. Similar to Tahiri's recurring reptilian nightmares, we also receive disturbing visions of Borgs Bunny, living turntable creatures, and thought experiments involving Haley Joel Osment...

Season 2, Episode 15 - Force Heretic I: Remnant

Jack Stovold of "The HapeCast" rejoins us to kick off the New Jedi Order's first and only trilogy, in which the prominence of our old pal Pellaeon has got us all pumped! We also ponder how healthy it is to identify with the self-loathing Nom Anor, confuse Shanghai Noon with Shanghai Knights, and show some love for the Arnold Schwarzenegger of Hip Hop.

Season 2, Episode 14 - Destiny's Way

Ryan Davis crabs his jouncing fighter into the money lane with us to discuss one of the best Star Wars ensemble books yet in an episode that's sure to do sellout business in jig time! Along the Way, we stop off on Planet Greg, try our best to think of some small-beaked birds, and commiserate over the sad life of a Kingdom Hearts fan.
