Rise of the Podcast, Jeremy, 8r0wn13

Hello everybody, and welcome to Rise of the Podcast. Part of the joy of loving something is sharing it with others, and that's what we want to do here. We love a lot of things: Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Marvel, LEGO, filmmaking, video games, VR, 3D printing, photography, cosplaying, and conventions. Each week, we discuss a little something from one of these topics and usually have a funny story or two. Check out our YouTube channel to see our awesome video podcast!

    The Heart of Our Community | Rise of the Podcast #376

    This week on Rise of the Podcast, we celebrate the life and memory of our dear friend Cam, known to our community as Gus Gus. More than just a loyal viewer, Cam was a generous friend, passionate maker, and a huge part of what made our podcast community special. Jeremy and Brownie revisit their favorite memories, from Cam's first 3D printed Yoda and his contributions to building Chopper to his thoughtful surprises, Nerf shenanigans, and countless acts of kindness. We reflect on the friendships built through the show, introduce a new tradition to honor Cam through charitable donations, and share one more ridiculous Star Wars-themed ChatGPT Theater adventure. This episode is filled with laughter, memories, and a few tears as we remember someone who helped make Rise of the Podcast what it is today. Thank you for everything, Cam. You'll always have a place on the wheel. May the Force be with you. Always. We also reminisce about our favorite Star Wars experiences, ramble on with stories of the good ol' days, nerd out about current and upcoming Star Wars shows, books, and games, and talk a little bit about life. Thank you so much for supporting our channel! We love interacting with all of you! We look forward to talking with you guys every week about Star Wars, gaming, 3D printing, pop culture, movies, and everything else!

We'll see you again soon! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/riseofthepodcast Discord Server Link: https://discord.gg/DcuBKXVxJs Email us: contact@RiseOfThePodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/riseofthepodcast Web: http://www.riseofthepodcast.com Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/rotptweets Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riseofthepodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/RiseofthePodcast Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3qzOazE iTunes: https://apple.co/3wAfwcI Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/RotPGoogle Thanks for watching!

    We Tried Voice Acting | Rise of the Podcast #374

    Jeremy and Chris test their voice-acting skills by re-dubbing scenes from The Simpsons, Spider-Man, The Emperor’s New Groove, The Incredibles, and The Amazing World of Gumball, with increasingly ridiculous results and the revelation that Chip absolutely refuses to say “boom baby.” Podcast 374 Before the acting begins, there’s talk about interactive smart-brick toys, Pokémon, and the usual trip through Star Wars fandom, while the back half spirals into SodaStream experiments, family stories, and assorted tangents. We also reminisce about our favorite Star Wars experiences, ramble on with stories of the good ol' days, nerd out about current and upcoming Star Wars shows, books, and games, and talk a little bit about life.

    Classic Disney Hits Different | Rise of the Podcast #373

    This week is a fast-moving mix of Star Wars, gaming, family stories, and pop-culture tangents. The crew talks Star Wars: Zero Company, Pokémon, streaming frustrations, and a Pokémon mod for Stardew Valley, while Jeremy and Kara share some very funny stories about Chip. The biggest nostalgia thread is classic Disney, especially why movies like Beauty and the Beast feel so effective because they are short, tightly paced, and packed with memorable moments. We also reminisce about our favorite Star Wars experiences, ramble on with stories of the good ol' days, nerd out about current and upcoming Star Wars shows, books, and games, and talk a little bit about life.

We also reminisce about our favorite Star Wars experiences, ramble on with stories of the good ol' days, nerd out about current and upcoming Star Wars shows, books, and games, and talk a little bit about life.

    What is Military Grade? | Rise of the Podcast #370

    We're back to recap Excalibur Con, argue about whether Darth Vader’s missing limbs should actually make him stronger, sample some surprisingly spicy AI-generated Star Wars romance, and learn why “military grade” might be one of the worst compliments you can give a product. Plus, we look ahead to Twin Cities Con, talk retro games and giant flashlights, and pick apart a questionable list of the best movies of the 21st century. We also reminisce about our favorite Star Wars experiences, ramble on with stories of the good ol' days, nerd out about current and upcoming Star Wars shows, books, and games, and talk a little bit about life.
