Star Wars, Geek Culture, and Power Converters
The last two weeks, we’ve livestreamed the recording of Tosche Station Radio. What we would like to know from those of you who listen to the podcast is if there’s any interest in making this a regular weekly thing.
Also, if you’ve got any kind of feedback or suggestions for the podcast, feel free to leave them in the comments!
Given the prospect of full-time employment (for which we are very thankful), Shane will not be about for the next few months as he treks across parts of the Western United States. When he returns from working 50-60 hour weeks, he’ll be back to his normal antics. And who knows, he might pop in from time to time anyway.
To celebrate the official launch of Tosche Station, we’re giving away two copies of Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Warfare. How can you claim one for yourself? Simple!
Opportunity the First: Follow the Tosche Station Twitter account and retweet this message
Opportunity the Second: Give us a Like on Facebook.
We will randomly select one winner from each pool to receive a copy, so enter in both places to increase your odds of winning a book that I really enjoyed.
The contest will run through Thursday with a winner announced Friday. Good luck!
Welcome to Tosche Station!
Just what are we? Apart from being the subject of one of the greatest whines in cinema history, we’re a hub for geek culture news, discussion, and snark. As the name implies, the staff here are pretty fond of Star Wars. Be it the films, the games, the novels, or the comics, there’s a good chance we’re eager to talk about it. That isn’t to say we’re all about the Galaxy Far, Far Away all the time. We’re all nerds with diverse interests. You can expect tidbits about everything from movies to comics, television to books.
It’s only our first day, but we already have content up for you to check out, such as reviews of Fate of the Jedi: Conviction, Fate of the Jedi: Apocalypse, and the Star Wars: Essential Guide to Warfare. We’re also home to op-ed columns and articles. I’ve got an Introductory Guide to the Post-RotJ EU and Shane has a snarky look back at Children of the Jedi.
If you take a look up at the tabs atop the site, you’ll notice that we’ve also got something we like to call Tosche Station Radio, our official podcast brought to you by Solo Sound. Every week you can listen in to Nanci and I as we discuss the latest news in Star Wars, geek culture, and fandom in general. There’s even a brand new episode posted today, so give it a listen while you poke around the blog.
Should our fandom ramblings on the blog and podcast prove to be insufficient to your needs, you can also get us in bite-sized doses on both Twitter and Facebook. Give us a follow and a Like for up-to-the minute updates on new content.
Shane, Nanci, and myself thank you for visiting and hope we’ll become a regular stop on your Internet commutes. As we like to say on the podcast, grab some power converters and enjoy the show.
