A Big Fan1 ,

So much fun!

I found this podcast only recently and I was hooked from the get-go! These wonderful hosts bring so much passion and energy to the fandom that it's infectious!

Fun and Positive

I regularly listen to at least 15 podcasts dedicated specifically to Star Wars, and Tarkin’s Top Shelf is among my favorites.

The hosts always keep the show positive, which is so rare when listening to or reading comments about entertainment in general—especially those about Star Wars.

They are quick to point out the good things about the movies, television shows, and books they are reviewing, and they often identify connections between these stories and the rest of the Star Wars universe that I had missed or had never considered. Their conversations enhance my excitement and appreciation for all the Star Wars content—new and old.

I look forward to each episode when I can tune out the world with all its negativity for a bit and listen to some deep, thoughtful, and fun discussion about Star Wars.

THE podcast for Star Wars book fans

No other podcast gives this much attention to the books and novels. They have author interviews all the time too!
