December 18, 2016 17:30 - 53 minutes - 48.3 MBThis week, we’re continuing our discussion with Livi Watkinson (@liviwatka) of her problematic fave, Kylo Ren. Johnny O’Mara’s connection cut out for the second half of our recording session, so he couldn't join us for this part. As with last week, there is some clicking in Kat’s audio that Maddie did her best to fix.

Jabba Flow Lyrics
July 14, 2016 21:57Tonight, I attended #Cantina (the hashtag is part of its name) and by far the biggest "get" in my eyes was a copy of the lyrics to Jabba Flow. Those of you who talk to me on Twitter know that I've been searching for a Huttese transcription for *months*. Cantina is a semi-official pre-party that was MCed by one of the hosts of Celebration. They distributed these lyrics so that we could sing along to the live version of Jabba Flow. No one else in a ten foot radius did, but yours truly was...

Podcasting and Lightsaber Forms
June 10, 2016 19:58As I spend some time reflecting (ha!) on what direction I want Never Tell Me the Pods to go, I couldn't stop thinking about the different podcasting styles of the various podcasters I have learned from. As with all things, this made me think about Star Wars. What follows is a description of four podcasters I have learned from, as well as an analysis of what styles (imperfectly) map to them. Master D'Amato Form III, or Soresu, sometimes known as the Way of the Mynock (!) is a style tha...

May 07, 2016 19:34The Star Wars Adventure Journal was a publication by West End Games that featured supplementary material and short stories for their Star Wars Roleplaying Game, sometimes referred to as Star Wars d6.
