  • Thank you SWM!

    I’ve been a regular listener of Star Wars Minute for many years and I was so excited to hear the new voices (to me) of Josiah and Mike as guests. They brought a lot of great energy to the show and I immediately started listening to HSWII from the first episode. They have a lot of silly energy similar to Jordan Jesse Go or Griffin Newman of Blank Check. Great show!!!

  • Fun and funny

    If you’re looking for an intellectual podcast that will educate you and require you to pay close attention to every detail, this is not the one for you! This one is pretty silly and very fun.

    I legitimately love that they close each show telling the listeners “We love you.” It makes my day a little better every time I listen.
