  • Give Rik a listen!

    Rik puts on a good show. He does excellent reviews of the literature of Star Wars as well as presenting his thought on the visual media as well. While I may not always share his, it’s nice to have a different opinion/alternate perspective and I appreciate his honest, from the heart reviews. Truly a good podcaster and worth a listen to gain alternative points of view. Thanks Rik!

  • Honest thoughts on all facets of Star Wars from an OG fan

    Rik's thoughts on the franchise from a galaxy far, far away are thorough, honest, and unfiltered. Whether it's the movies, shows, novels, comics or collecting, Rik brings his unique perspective to the podcast. He's a trustworthy source for intelligent discourse and stays away from the brain-dead hot-take factory that infests too much social media. I cannot recommend Jammed Transmissions enough.
