Podcaster Spotlight: Luke Cruser from The Bad Motivators Podcast

Well, 2019 is here!  So how am I starting the year?  By bringing you an interview that was recorded back in October!

Today's episode is another one of Ryan Dassing's "Titans of Star Wars Podcasting" conversation, where he sits down to chat with some of his favorite SW podcasters.  Today Ryan has a quick conversation with Luke Cruser from The Bad Motivators Podcast.  Check it out!

Podcasters Spotlight: Allen Voivod from Star Wars 7x7

While I was away last month, friend of the show Ryan Dassing stepped in to record interviews with some of the “Titans of Star Wars Podcasting”.  After much delay, here is the second of these episodes, where he sat down to chat with good friend of LT12P, and returning guest, Allen Voivod from Star Wars 7x7, The Only Daily Star Wars Podcast!  Thanks to Ryan, thanks to Allen, and thank you to you for your patience this month!

PS - This episode starts with a very special message, so you better pay attention!

Podcasters Spotlight: Mike Pilot from Full of Sith

While I was away this month, friend  of the show Ryan Dassing stepped in to record interviews with some of the “Titans of Star Wars Podcasting”.  I apologize to you the listener, and to Ryan, that it has taken me so long to get these episodes posted. I suck, I know, you don’t need to remind me. 😖

Anyway, here is the first of these episodes (the second one that Ryan recorded, but that’s explained at the end of the episode), where he sat down to chat with Mr. Mike Pilot from the Full of Sith podcast.  Thanks to Ryan, thanks to Mike, and thank you to you for your patience this month!

Frozen in Carbonite

LT12P has been frozen in carbonite as of late. But don't worry, it's not dead. Not yet anyway! -- New episodes are coming this weekend, thanks to my personal hero Ryan Dassing! Since I haven't been able to record all month long, Ryan stepped up, did some interviews for the show, and I'm working on getting those into your earbuds shortly!

Anyway, thanks for your patience. Please stay tuned!

And We're Back!

Sorry for disappearing, but I'm back!  What's been going on?  Have a listen and find out!

My Unpopular Star Wars Opinions

 There’s this meme going around on Twitter where people share their thoughts about Star Wars that they believe will be “unpopular”.   So based on this, today’s episode is 10 things I think about Star Wars, that I just know you will disagree with. Get ready to get angry, and want to fight me!  Enjoy!

My Sequel Trilogy

Ive been thinking about Episode IX quite a bit this week. And while looking ahead, I’ve also been looking behind, and contemplating the sequel trilogy as a whole.  And I was wondering  how I would have made the sequel trilogy.  Well, here’s what I came up with!

And ps, the episode is scripted! So, it’s not as bad as some of my more recent shows. So there’s that! 😛

Happy Labor Day

 Today is the Labor Day holiday here in the United States. So, with that in mind, here are a few thoughts I have about the state of labor in the Star Wars universe. Enjoy!

Marty Gold And His Orchestra

Today, you are invited to hear a major part of my Star Wars childhood.  Please listen to get to know my inner child just a little bit better.  Enjoy!

Younglings

I’ve had some thoughts about Star Wars and kids lately, and I should have sat down and written out what was in my head.  Instead, I give you this babbling mess that really could use another edit. But oh well. It’s late, I want to get this out, so here ya go!





The Younglings Podcast-

Star Wars Resistance-

Tim Week: Day Five

Finally, Tim Week comes to an end. Our longer shared nightmare is over!  Today I share with you not one, but THREE other nerdy things I enjoy, beyond the Star Wars franchise.

Tim Week: Day Four

Tim Week continues... slowly!  Today I tackle my latest nerdy passion.  Yes, I’m late to the game, so I can’t really say I am going where no one has gone before, but have a listen and learn about ,y latest trek through fandom!  ;-)

Tim Week: Day Three

Tim Week continues on this very special day.  For it was TWO YEARS AGO TODAY that I released the very first episode of Less Than 12 Parsecs! - Wont you help me celebrate by becoming a patron of the show?  Check us out at www.Patreon.com/LT12P

Today's episode is about one of my all time favorite nerdy hobbies... role playing games.  Sadly, I've never been able to play as much as I would like.  Learn more about it on today's rambling mess of a show!  ;-)

Tim Week: Day Two

Yesterday was GI Joe.  Today is Comic Books!  And yes, I make it Star Warsy...  Just enough!

Tim Week: Day One

Just Listen. That’s all I can say about this one without ruining it... just listen. ;-)

Sunday Confessional: What I’ve Been Up To

I had nothing planned for today, so I just turned on the microphone and started talking. What came out of my mouth is just some stuff I’ve been thinking about this week.  Nothing exciting, nothing new really, but none the less, here ya go. This episode is what some reviewers might call “skippable”.  You’ve been warned! 😉

EDIT: I tried to post this last night, on Sunday, but I faced technical difficulties that I could not over come until today, thus the delay.

LT12P Conversations #0005

I recently sat down with The Brothers Dassing; friends, buddies, patrons of the show.  We had a fun conversation about their family's Star Wars traditions, what it was like growing up as Star Wars fans in the Dassing household, the next generation of Dassing Star Wars fanboys, and a lot of other fun stuff.

Also, in this episode, Ryan Dassing is knighted as a Knight of the Commonwealth, the not-so secret society of Star Wars Commonwealth super fans!  Congratulations Sir Ryan!

This is an episode of LT12P Conversations, so it is far from our normal 5 to 7 minute episode.  Today's show is over 30 minutes long, so get comfortable and enjoy!

Bad Star Wars Ideas

I haven’t had any good ideas about Star Wars this week, thus the lack of shows. BUT, that doesn’t mean I haven’t had any BAD ideas about Star Wars!  Here are five thoughts I have about our favorite franchise that aren’t so great. Enjoy!

Episode IX Cast News

Official news from Lucasfilm dropped today about the cast of Episode IX!  So of course, as a Star Wars podcaster, I am obliged to comment upon this breaking story.  So, here ya go, here are my initial thoughts and opinions. Enjoy!

The Star Wars Guy

After some time away on medical leave, I am back to share with you a story from my life about being “The Star Wars Guy”.  If you are known to be the Star Wars aficionado where you work, then you’ll probably relate!

#CloneWarsSaved

The news of the day is that The Clone Wars will be returning!  And today I use this news as an excuse to share with you one of my own Clone Wars memories.  Have a listen and then tell me if I am a monster or just a fool.  Thanks!

Kudos! Star Wars #50

I enjoyed issue 50 of the ongoing Star Wars Comic from Marvel Comics so much, that I wanted to say “job well done!” to the creative team.  What did I like about this issue you ask? Well, please take 6 minutes t find out!



Here is a full review of this issue by Dennis Keithly.

Mark Hamill And A Unicorn

Today’s episode is a true story about my day that involves Mark Hamill and a unicorn. Kinda.  You’ll just have to take six minutes to listen and learn the rest!

PS - Sorry, I had to record this on my phone today, to the sound quality is a wee bit lacking.

I Cant Come Up With A Good Title Today

Toxic Star Wars fans, the vocal minority, has been in the news a lot lately, and for the most part, I've ignored this and stayed out of it.  But today, today it really bothered me.  So, I had to share these few words.  It's nothing deep, my thoughts wont solve any problems, but I just had to get them out, to maybe make myself feel a little better.  Thanks for listening.  Sorry to be so down.  I promise to be back to normal next time!

A Top Five By Dave Marrs

After I got back from vacation, I received an email from Dave Marrs, former host of the Hot Wampa podcast.  He sent me an idea for a top five episode.  I love when people send me show topics, but Dave had mapped out the whole thing.  He had done all the hard work!

I would have felt guilty for using his idea in such detail.  So, I turned the tables on Dave and said "Hey, why don't you make this episode of LT12P?"  And ya know what, he did!

So today, here you go, Dave Marrs' Top Five Star Wars Easter Eggs.  Enjoy!

Kerri Russell & Other Television Actors

Today's episode is kinda all over the place... I talk about Patreon, I talk about rumor vs news, I talk about Kerri Russell and then I end it all on a brand new Top Five list on a topic that, honestly, I think I've done on the show before, BUT, right now, I'm too lazy to double check.  Oh well, whatever, never mind.  Instead, listen, enjoy and let me know what you think.  Thanks!

Vacation Week

Well, I am back from vacation!  A big thank you to Tim, Kyle and Ben from the Star Wars Commonwealth Podcast Network for helping me out while I was gone.

If you didn't hear their versions of LT12P, please, check out their episodes below!

Top Five Week: The Final Day

I'm drawing Top Five Week to an end a little early, due to laziness, busyness and vacation time.  But I make up for my lack of Top Five lists by giving you FIVE Top Five lists!  Seriously!


Also, I will be out camping with the family next week, and without the internet.  I have set up three episodes to drop in my absence, hosted by members of the Star Wars Commonwealth Network, so please look for those.  I wont be around on social media to plug the shows, so make sure to subscribe to the LT12P feed in your favorite pod catcher app!  See ya next week (if I don't get eaten by a bear, that is!)

Top Five Week: Day Three

And the week of nothing but Top Five lists continues to roll along!  Today’s topic is the Top Five things I would like to experience with my five senses in the Star Wars galaxy.  Enjoy!

Top Five Week: Day Two

My Five days of Top Five lists continues!  Today’s topic, the Top Five Technologies From that galaxy far, far away that I wish we had in the real world today!  Enjoy!

Top Five Week: Day One

All this week, each episode of LT12P will consist of one of my patented Top Five lists!

Today is the Top Five Star Wars things on my “to do” list that I need to get off my backside and complete!  Enjoy!

Half Formed Thoughts About The Expanded Universe And The Future Of Star Wars Storytelling

Here's something I've been thinking about, worrying about, a bit to much lately.  It's been in my mind all week.  I hope that if I just spit it out and say these words, I wont have to think about it any longer.  - Please, have a listen and let me know what you think!

The George Lucas Sequel Trilogy (part 2)

Today's episode is a follow up to the last episode of LT12P.  More of the discussion George Lucas had with James Cameron, where George spoke about what he would have done with a sequel trilogy, has been released.  And like in the last episode, I share my thoughts about it, line by line.  But, to be honest, all I can some up with is easily summed up as "whaaaaaaaaaat?".




Here is the article from IO9 I mentioned...
www.io9.gizmodo.com/george-lucas-ideas-for-his-own-star-wars-sequel-trilogy-1826798496

The George Lucas Sequel Trilogy

Some quotes from George Lucas about his planned Star Wars sequel films have hit the internet.  It's only 7 sentences, but there is a lot to think about there.  In today's episode, I go over what George "The Maker" Lucas had to say, line by line, and share with you my Hot Take!

Dave Filoni

Today’s episode starts as an excuse for my lack of shows this week, then turns into a mess of thoughts involving Dave Filoni. Enjoy!

Tickets!

Well, I did it!  I bought my Star Wars Celebration 2019 tickets!  Today’s show is all about the adventure that was my purchasing process.  See ya in Chicago!

Sunday Confessional: Oh My Aching Head

My head hurts too much to write today, so I’m going to just turn on the microphone and babble.  What am I going to babble about? Whatever comes to mind! That’s right, I’m bringing back the “Sunday Confessional” Style episode.  Enjoy!

The Less Than 12 Parsecs Droids Watch-Along: Episode I

Believe it or not, but in the last 33 years, I have NEVER watched the Droids Animated Series! Well, it's time to change that. And I'm bringing you along for the ride! Watch as I watch these vintage Saturday morning Star Wars cartoons!

I plan on releasing these Droids Watch-Along episodes weekly. But starting next time, I will be releasing these for our Patrons first!

Bonus Episode #0013 - Talking with JD

Sorry, but this is yet another long episode.  And I didn't meant for it to be one!  I was chatting with JD from the Nerf Herder Council, and well, before you know it, an hour had passed!  It started as a Podcasters Spotlight episode, turned into a LT12P Conversations episode, became a Solo review, a Celebration planning session, and it kept going from there!  None the less, I hope you will give it a listen.  Stick around to the end... I promise you there is some good stuff at the end.

I also promise that I will get back to the short shows tomorrow, and the days following.  Thank you for your patience!

PS - We recorded this episode on May 28th.

Two Things...

Today I start talking about one thing (Solo), but end up talking about another thing (Star Wars friendships). I'd tell you more, but I don't want to spoil these six minutes for you! So instead, won't you please have a listen? Thanks!

Bonus Episode #0012 - Full Length SOLO Review

If you haven't grown tired of online nerds yammering on and on about Solo yet, then we have the show for you!  It's an hour long discussion and review, full of spoilers, insights and fun!  Have a listen as I am joined by my old pal from The Expanded Fandomverse, Jason Collier, AND, show Patron and all around cool guy, Ryan Dassing.  We all come to the table with different takes and opinions, and that leads to a great conversation.

Warning!  This episode is an hour long.  Not your normal episode of LT12P, by a long shot!  So, pace yourself, take your time, and enjoy!

Podcasters Spotlight: David Frishkorn from The Cocky Cockpit

Today's episode is with a great guy and a great friend of the show, Mr. David Frishkorn.  David is from one of my favorite podcasts, The Cocky Cockpit.

We were going to sit down and record one of my normal "Podcaster Spotlight", but with SOLO so fresh in our fan boy minds, we started chatting about that, and well, we went a little long.  Technically, this SHOULD be a LT12P Bonus Episode, but I'm not calling it that.  Why?  Because I said so, that's why!  :-p

And speaking of LT12P rules... David WILL be back tomorrow, to sit through my 10 Stoopid Questions, so please, check back for that soon!
