Brian and Nanci recap the highlights from Dragon Con on this all-new episode of Tosche Station Radio.

Kicking off the show, the hosts highlight what’s New on the Blog. There’s tons of panel audio from Dragon Con (see below). We did a Go/No-Go for A New Dawn, as well as a full review from Bria. Bria also reviewed Legacy #18, the final installment in the series (as well as the Legends universe).

In Fixer’s Flash, Brian finished A New Dawn and Nanci’s nearly finished. Both hosts got roped into the Ice Bucket Challenge. There was also this little thing called Dragon Con. More later.

Deak’s Dirt? Rebels clips. Seriously, that’s it.

In Biggs’ Bull#*$&, the hosts recap the Episode VII panel at Dragon Con. Which consisted mostly of informed speculation.

Once again members of the Tosche Station staff will be in attendance at the largest gathering of geeks in the Southeastern United States.

It’s the first of two Dragon Con themed episodes! This week, we sit down with Aaron Goins in the mobile podcast command base (it’s a thing we just made up, run with it) to discuss the first few days of Dragon Con. We dispense with the usual format this week, but we do have an installment of Camie’s Concerns to bring to you.

While at Dragon Con, Nanci and I were on a Women and Minorities in Star Wars panel along with Luci Lockhart, Amy Ratcliffe, and our staff writer Bria. The hour-long recording has been included as a part of this podcast episode and we do hope you enjoy it.

Next week, we’ll be back to normal and should (hopefully) be featuring author Janine Spendlove to recap Dragon Con, talk about her books, and writing in general.
