    From NPR to Anchorhead: A Wild Space Journey into Star Wars - The Original Radio Drama (1981) | 050

    Join Branwen and Seah as they deep dive into all things Star Wars. Follow along as we fly off exploring all the wonders and geekery of a Galaxy Far, Far Away, chatting worlds, lore, sound, music, story, behind the scenes, nostalgia, and much more with each other and some very special guests. IT'S OUR 50th EPISODE! To celebrate, we're going on another Journey into Wild Space, this time to explore the world of Star Wars The Original Radio Drama, produced for NPR and first broadcast in 1981. Branwen brings her distant memories of listening to the BBC Radio 1 airing of it way back then, while Seah brings expertise and extensive work producing audio drama. Together we delve into the history of radio drama, and of course more specifically this incredible production, the team that made it happen, and the lasting impact it has had on sonic storytelling and Star Wars lore. And of course we journey through the 13 episodes, picking out our favourite moments, Brian Daley's handling of the expanded story, the stellar performances (no pun intended), Tom Voegeli's outstanding work on the audio, and much more. EDIT: Branwen mistakenly implies that Brian Daley confirm swoops in Solo: A Star Wars Story - sadly Brian Daley was no longer with us when Solo was being made :( However we're still fully convinced Enfys Nest's gang do ride swoops! We'd like to give a huge shout out to the brilliant book "The Star Wars Radio Dramas" by Maria Jose Tenuto and John Tenuto. It's a fascinating read if you're interested in going deeper, and we owe a lot of the historical information in this episode to their work. If you've not listened to the Star Wars radio drama before, you can find it on YouTube in several places, including: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIVcEX0uAz0 You can find the half hour 'making of' audio documentary "A Fable for the Mind's Eye" on archive.org here: https://archive.org/details/a-fable-for-the-minds-eye To listen to the Orson Welles "War of the Worlds" radio drama we mention, check it out on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs0K4ApWl4g The infamous dialogue-free BBC radio play "The Revenge" we discuss can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/radiopossivel/revenge-bbc-1978 Seah's recs for other fantastic radio dramas, both produced here in Wales, can be listened to via the following: "Tracks" (we could only find Season 3): https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0000xr9/episodes/player "Spores": https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m001sqrt If you've been listening to us since the beginning, thanks for sticking with us for 50 episodes and nearly a whole year! We're not going anywhere and are so excited for our future plans for the pod. Join us next week with special guest Mary as we get back into The Clone Wars with the kick-off of Season 3!

Welcome to another Journeys into Wild Space episode! This week we're incredibly excited to welcome the absolutely brilliant performer and all-round beautiful human Katy Kartwheel onto Sisters of the Force. We were lucky enough to meet her at Force Fest UK in Cheltenham earlier this year, and we're so grateful she agreed to come and chat to us about all things creatures and droids, from Hurid-327 (The Force Awakens) to the Caretakers (The Last Jedi), and our favourite Ardennian Rio Durant (Solo: A Star Wars Story). In the conversation Katy goes deep into what it takes to put together a physical performance in feature films on the scale of Star Wars, the collaborative work across multiple departments, the physical (and mental) demands of the roles, and the different directorial styles she got to experience. We also delve into her career as a circus performer and the fascinating work she does teaching circus arts and exploring circus skills as a therapeutic tool. Thank you so much Katy for coming on the pod and being so generous with your knowledge, stories and experiences!
