Thrawncast/Vongcast

It’s such a delight to hear this group chat through the original Thrawn trilogy (and I’m looking forward to hear the other episodes next). I’d love to hear this group go through The Hand of Thrawn someday…

Great commentary and a great reason to visit legends. The Vongcast is a particular delight of insight and humor regarding the best of the EU.

In its original form of Thrawncast, this podcast was a great bridge between the Legends and canon universes via the common thread of Thrawn. Now, after being worldshaped into Vongcast, Bria, Rocky, and Megan dive head- and heart-first into the New Jedi Order, tapping into both vast reserves of knowledge about Legends and deep wells of personal feelings about their time reading these books. It’s this double whammy of information and passion that makes Vongcast such a compelling listen. If you have been affected by any of the issues raised in the NJO, or are even just curious about that behemoth of a book series, take it from three fans who were there, and are total fountains of facts and feels.

Although I reread the NJO over 1 year ago, I want know more insights on the series. The three ladies of Thrawncast (Vongcast) have a solid understanding of a lot of things, and not only "Star Wars." They provide information Bantam vs. Del Rey that I never picked up on before. There are some hilarious insights on writing in general, the characters, and the story overall. As such, I'm learning quite a bit, including what others think about the NJO, which is refreshing to me. 1. The NJO is definitely a uniquely supreme subseries in the EU. 2. While I know a lot of SW fans and we've discussed the NJO, it hasn't been detailed like this--just brushing the surface. So this is new to me; an exciting audio endeavor.
