Episode 36

High Republic: Tempest Runner

Back to the High Republic with a brand new audio drama: Tempest Runner by Cavan Scott. This twisty tale lays out the life of Nihil all-star, Lourna Dee. It's a little bit Solo, a little bit Orange is the New Black, and at times very, very confusing. Beth, Ryan, and Chad have a few questions about this project, the foremost being: "why?". Also, we break down our favorite (and least favorite) alien species from that wacky faraway galaxy we love so much.

The Skywalker saga may be over, but there are enough books to keep Star Wars fans satisfied for years to come. Chad, Ryan, and Beth have started a series to keep you up to date on all the action. Join our book club as we run down the best that canon, legends, and comics have to offer.

Music by Lester Dragstredt of The Mystery Men?
