    Lightsabers & Saja & More with TJ Marino

    This episode we were joined by TJ Marino, known for both her spectacular Asajj Ventress cosplay - now 501st approved - as well as her skills with a lightsaber. We spoke with her about the history of the lightsaber training pod and speculated on a Saja's journey before and on the Halcyon.

    Episode 100 - A Livestream Celebration!

    Back when we first had the idea to launch a podcast to talk about this experience we all cherish so much, we truly never imagined that we'd be here 100 episodes later!

    In honor of this auspicious occasion, we invited several past guests - now "space family" - to celebrate  with us LIVE on Facebook & Instagram . It was a fun night and we're excited to share it with you here.

    Thank you all  so much from the bottom of our hearts for taking this journey with us - - - to talk about ALL our adventures aboard the magnificent Lady H!

    Creativity Inspired By The Halcyon - A Sublight Circle Roundtable!

    We chatted with Adam Schickling, Annette & Kevin Shoemaker, and Brian J Anderson to talk about how their Halcyon journeys inspired them to create art. From spectacular images & illustrations to 3-D designs that folks can download and print at home, the work that these artists have created is truly amazing. We talked about their inspiration, some favorite projects, and upcoming work.

    Tales From The Wish Upon A Starcruiser Voyage with Jen, Beth, Paul & Amy!

    We were joined by Beth FitzGibbon, Paul & Amy Carrington, and Jen DiGiacomo who all sailed aboard the Disney Wish with Martin & Kristine on the first of what will hopefully be many annual Starcruiser community voyages.

    Many adventures & good drinks, food, and fun were shared by the dozens of Starcruiser superfans who took the trip recently in honor of what would have been the second anniversary of the Halcyon. Our guests shared tales of the cruise and will certainly inspire you to join the adventure next year!

    Exploring The Tastes Of The Galaxy with Chef Andrew & Wendy Vogel

    One of the most delicious aspects of Disney's Galactic Starcruiser was the amazing food served. This episode, we chatted with Chef Andrew Vogel and his wife Wendy about not only the food but also their upcoming Starcruiser-inspired charity dinner in Covington, Kentucky.

    Chef Andrew will be serving two dinners to benefit Make-A-Wish and who know what space shenanigans will ensue!

    Cultivating A Fan Community With Dr. Lisa Moses

    Cultivating A Fan Community With Dr. Lisa Moses

    We LOVED talking with Dr. Lisa on our episode Hypnotized by the Halcyon back in August and when we were discussing episode topics, we knew we had to reach out to her for this episode!

    One of the many best things about the Galactic Starcruiser - even now, 5 months after the Lady H. went into dry dock - is the amazing community of fans. We wanted to explore why we wacky humans gather and grow in these communities and what exactly about the Starcruiser inspires such a passionate following. So who better to chat with about psychology than a clinical psychologist? Such a fun conversation.

Please don’t stop!

Wow, what a great podcast! I’m a new Halcyon fan. My first voyage was Aug 23. I was immediately hooked and managed to get on a Sept voyage as well. Your podcast is great! I’m looking forward to listening to every episode.

Heroes of the Halcyon is the definitive source for thorough documenting of community experiences aboard the Galactic Starcruiser. Detailed coverage of each story path, insightful discussion about trip planning, exploration of considerations when traveling with younger family members, even peeks behind the scenes with knowledgeable experts from the industry…it’s all here. Three of the kindest, most caring and thoughtful individuals enthusiastically discussing the most innovative, groundbreaking, immersive experience ever created. I don’t know what else you could ask for. Delightful on every level.
