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!

Soldiers of the Empire by Anthony Fredrickson

The last episode has only been out a few hours, but I am already getting some feedback on it!  The census is people want to know more about the article about Stormtroopers that I read as a child, that lead me to such dumb ideas!  Well, since you've asked, here it is...  This episode is a reading of Soldiers of the Empire by Anthony Fredrickson, from Star Wars Official Poster Monthly, issue number four.  Enjoy!

EU Memories

The Expanded Universe came to an end three years ago on this date.  So, today, I'm going to take a walk down memory lane and share with you my personal history with the old EU.  Enjoy!

International Women's Day

In honor of the fact that today is International Women's Day, I take a look at what makes the women of Star Wars so great.  I am thankful that I grew up with these characters in my imagination, and that they continue to inspire generations of fans!

It Was Twenty Years Ago Today...

Well, technically, not today, BUT, it was twenty years ago this year that the Star Wars Special Editions were released.  Today's episode is part trip down memory lane, part opinion piece.  Please have a listen, then be sure to tell me your thoughts and opinions on the cinematic rebirth of our favorite big screen saga!

My Star Wars Origin Story

 I have nothing new to talk about today, so I'm gonna talk about something old. I'm gonna steal an old idea from The Expanded Fandomverse podcast. On that show, we would ask guests for their Star Wars origin story; how they first fell in love with that galaxy far far away. I'm gonna share with you how I was introduced to the greatest franchise  in the history of cinema.

Now these childhood memories are just at, childhood memories. And childhood memories can be mushy and malleable. Sure, I could go back and ask my mom for verification on the story, but I'm not going to. I like it as it is. So I'm gonna share you with you the mythology that has built up in my brain for the last  40 years.

But hey, I want to hear your story as well. Email me at TwelveParsecsPodcast@Gmail.com, or connect with me on any of my social media links.
