The Star Wars Collectors Archive Podcast

This podcast has been hitting my feed for 6-7 years. Sometimes I learn a lot about the hobby. Other times I have to endure a lecture on some liberal cause or another from Sky. Every once in a while I agree but the other 90 percent of the time….. Most episodes include a guest or two, and Steve and Sky really cast a wide net to bring in a great many different collectors from all over the world. They do not just rely on one or two super collectors but include great focus collectors long-time hobbyists, and people who have worked hard to preserve unique and rare items. If you go back in their catalog you might even discover they have given voice to a few controversial people. Few podcasts cover the hobby in as much detail or with as much diversity from around the hobby.

The ‘Chivecast is hands down the best podcast for vintage Star Wars collecting. I found it in the ROTJ era of the show and have since gone back and listened to it all (mostly). The perfect mix of information/data, history, news, humor, and entertainment. Really brings attention to The Archive in the way that it deserves for the incredible resource that it is. My personal highlights are the figure themed deep dive episodes, interviews, the Nuggets, Market Watch game, Skykus, and the beautifully succinct and perfect Flip The Script drop. My only gripe would be the personal bias on the figure-themed episodes… you can tell when Sky or Steve think a figure is lame, they don’t go as in-depth information-wise about the figure (IE Chewbacca episode vs. Klaatu Skiff episode). This is coming from a Prune Face collector, so… take that as you will. Space Freak for life!!!

Love the focus on vintage collectibles! Fun stuff!

This is a podcast that seems to be made for a very narrow audience. It’s full of inside jokes and little real entertainment. It’s the best example of Star Wars snobs. Unless you are part of their ‘in crowd’ this isn’t the Podcast you are looking for.
