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!

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.

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!

Podcasters Spotlight: Kaden Stetler from Rebel Chatter

I haven't done a Podcasters Spotlight episode in a while, so here we go!  It's five minutes with Kaden Stetler from the Rebel Chatter podcast.  Kaden talks about the charity work he does with his podcast, what it's like to work with his dad, and reveals the new show he just started working on with an awesome new partner! ;-)

And like all Star Wars podcasters I invite on LT12P, I make Kaden come back for a second episode, and make him sit through my 10 Stoopid Questions.  Ten questions, and only ten seconds to answer each one.  Look for that later in the week!

Podcaster Spotlight: Jason Flatt from Holy Star Wars

As I continue to slowly work on The Star Wars Podcast Master List (www.StarWarsPodcastMasterList.com), I discover more and more shows that I had never heard before.  And every now and then, I find one that is unlike anything else I have ever heard before.

One such show is Holy Star Wars, by Jason Flatt.  This show is intelligent, thoughtful and deep.  I've learned a few things, and looked at Star Wars a little different now, thanks for Holy Star Wars.  Today,  I am happy to Jason on the show for a brief chat.

Holy Star Wars!
Description - In-depth discussion, myths & legends, thoughts for fuller living, and radio drama, all rolled into one!

Podcasters Spotlight: Rob Williams from the Genation X-Wing podcast

Today, I had the pleasure of talking with Rob Williams, from the Generation X-Wing podcast, and the Outer Rim Rookie podcast.  In fact, Rob invited me on the Outer Rim Rookie podcast to chat about the fun and adventure of joining the 501st Legion.  After we did that, I put him in the spotlight for this episode of Less Than 12 Parsecs!  I hope you enjoy our conversation!

Podcasters Spotlight: Joe Tavano from Brew And Blasters

While I am constantly trying new Star Wars podcasts, there are certain shows I am always going back to.  One of my favorites has long been Brews and Blasters, from the RetroZAP podcast network.  Joe Travano and Chris Salton are always entertaining, and then some!

Today's guest is Joe from Brews and Blasters. And in just five minutes, he is able to bring a bit of the B&Bs magic to Less Than 12 Parsecs!  Please enjoy!

Here is the episode of The Expanded Fandomverse from two years ago, when Joe and Chris were guests.  The interview starts at the 38:24 mark.

Podcasters Spotlight: Dave Marrs & Mark Daws

As I mentioned in the show notes for the last episode, recently I was honored to be invited onto the great Star Wars and Sci-Fi podcast, Hot Wampa, to be part of their Rogue One review episode.  (You can check out that episode HERE!)

Well, I would be a real jerk if I did not reciprocate the offer, and invite these two English gentleman onto LT12P to take part in one of my "Podcasters Spotlight" episodes.  They kindly took some time out of their Boxing Day holiday to chat with me.  They even saved me when I was having some technical issues during our conversation!

And, like all fellow podcasters who come on the show, I made them sit through my 10 Stoopid questions!  Check back tomorrow for that bit of fun!

Podcasters Spotlight: Stephen Kent

With Election Day just two days away here in the United States, it's time to get political!  Don't worry, I found a way to do it with being decisive and partisan.

Instead, I invited onto the show Mr. Stephen Kent, co-host of the great podcast "Beltway Banthas".  So, enjoy this installment of our Podcasters Spotlight segment.  And, be sure to come back tomorrow, when I make Stephen sit through 10 stoopid questions, with only 10 seconds to each one!

And don't forget, the Less Than 12 Parsecs merchandise giveaway contest continues.  Simply leave us a review on iTunes and/or Sticher to get your name entered into the hat for some fabulous prizes.  Contest runs through January 1st.  See yesterday's post for all the details! - http://twelveparsecspodcast.blogspot.com/2016/11/giveaway-contest-time.html

NOTE: Stephen was kind enough to talk with me as he and his family were driving to Orlando, Florida to visit Walt Disney World.  Occasionally, our connect would drop out, and his sentences would be cut off.  I have edited around these dead spots.  I just wanted to let you, the listener, know that if Stephen's thoughts seem incomplete, they are not, it was due to technical difficulties.  Stephen was kind enough to offer to re-record these parts, but I did not want to intrude on his family vacation. Thank you Stephen for the offer! Hope you're  having fun!

Podcasters Spotlight: Joe Mignano

Sorry for the lack of posts this week, I've been a little under the weather.  But, I'm back and ready to go again!

Today's guest is Mr. Joe Mignano.  He is a fellow Star Wars podcaster, BUT, he is on today to talk about an app he has built for Android users.  It is called "Star Wars Podcasts".  It brings together 40 or so great Star Wars podcasts all in one place for you!  It sure makes things easy when it comes to keeping track of your favorite shows, and it is a great way to find all new favs as well!

FYI - Less Than 12 Parsecs is on the app, but we are under the feed for our sister show, The Expanded Fandomverse

Podcasters Spotlight: Allen Voivod from Star Wars 7x7

This past week I was lucky enough to sit down with one of my favorite Star Wars podcasters, and a good friend, Allen Voivod from Star Wars 7x7.  After we had a great lunch, I made him sit down for a two minute interview.  And then, of course, he had to answer my 10 stoopid questions, with only 10 seconds to answer.  (Look for that episode next!)
