Star Wars Episode Two: A New Conversation

 
Welcome back to a surprise bonus episode where the Nerds talk Star Wars -- our likes, our loves, our burning passion for sending messages with Star Wars allusions! This is a separate episode, but if you haven't checked out our talk about Timothy Zahn's Thrawn, scroll back in our library and give it a listen, too. These are the podcasts you're looking for!

Timothy Zahn's book Star Wars:Thrawn

Hey Nerds! We're talking all things lightsabers, inter-galactic politics and Empirical Navy in Timothy Zahn's  Star Wars: Thrawn. We're nerding out about this evil character's development, the Governor and *GASP* Luke Skywalker?!

3001 by Arthur C. Clarke Book Club

Join us Nerds as we talk about the book that ended Arthur C. Clarke's Odyssey series, and Shaun's dislike of Snow Crash. We'll go from martinis to beer in our book club odyssey where I find that really, one martini would have sufficed.
Plus, we announce that Thrawn by Timothy Zahn is the next book in our series, so grab yourself a copy!
