Chewie… We’re Home

Nerd culture has its gatekeepers and that goes doubly for Star Wars with its expansive universe that traverses multiple forms of media. However, Smuggler’s Dispatch feels like it’s welcoming me into the conversation. Al and Mikel are gifted at sharing their fandom of a galaxy far far away. Their discussions bring me so much joy because they’re cheery and passionate about Star Wars and that’s just plain fun. They don’t shy away from sharing their opinions but their focus is diving deep into the lore and the behind the scenes of Star Wars. Listening to this podcast feels like nerding out with friends and not being lectured. I get excited whenever a new episode pops up in my podcast feed. It’s good company and good listening.
