    I absolutely love Brad and Sarah’s take on the high republic. After searching for good discussions on Alphabet squadron, and loving their fun, entertaining and engaging conversations, I knew I had to read high republic. Now high republic is one of my favorite things in Star Wars, and something I come back to time and again. I love following Brad and Sarah’s amazing theories, and just makes me love the series and Star Wars in general that much more. Thanks for the awesome pod you guys and keep it... more

  • for light & life 💫

    By far one of my favorite Star Wars podcasts! The conversations are always so interesting and are a perfect mix of analysis and humor. Also NO ONE does High Republic coverage like this pod does (seriously I’ve listened and re-listened to those eps multiple times #eggtalk). Just the perfect pod to bask in all the good that Star Wars has to offer.
