Customer Reviews
The Preservation of Fandom!
As a subscriber of the best ‘zine around, I was very excited when I saw Kara was going to be starting a podcast and it’s been a blast listening to the first few episodes!
I love the idea behind collecting an oral history of different aspects of the Star Wars fandom, the stories have been great, and it is a great reminder that there’s no one way to experience something you love!
Highly recommend to anyone who loves Star Wars or needs some deeper insight into other little slices of fandom!
Into A Larger Podcast is Here For Fans!
So excited to have Kara help to curate our lovely world of Star Wars. Love love love the idea of audio histories. Her Zine (which you should also subscribe to for physical media and Star Wars goodness) has provided an incredible resource for fans. I cannot wait to hear her views and those of the experts and fans that she features. We are very lucky for her attention to detail and knowledge of the Star Wars Universe, and her eagerness to investigate anything that comes across her desk. She is one with The Force and The Force is with us! Thank you Kara!
