thunderous applause pod

a podcast about the politics of Star Wars

[thunderous applause pod @thunderouspod]

we apologize for any confusion but if you like Thunderous Applause, just follow A People's History of the Old Republic and you'll get the same type of episodes in the future! it's just too difficult to maintain 2 separate Star Wars podcasts with the same hosts simultaneously

[thunderous applause pod @thunderouspod]

podcast update: due to the announcement of the KOTOR remake, @lukeisamazing and @AthertonKD are reviving @PHOTORpod and moving all Thunderous Applause content under that show. we will still be talking about the politics of Star Wars but under another name https://t.co/Po732VEnP6

[thunderous applause pod @thunderouspod]

we always intended to bring PHOTOR back when new KOTOR content was announced, we just didn't think that would happen until like 2024. but we're still going to be talking about politics of the franchise just like we have, only with more KOTOR updates.

no new episode this week due to real world schedules getting in the way. sorry about it!

@lukeisamazing is here with a review of his favorite Star Wars novel ever: Claudia Gray's 2019 novel, Master & Apprentice. it's got everything: the Jedi actually doing good, Jedi conversations about abstinence, 2 coups, and an orange lightsaber. enjoy https://t.co/pWTGjgBqMH

The Confederacy of Independent Systems, or the CIS led by the Sith

And yes obviously I work in a reference of McNamara and Fog of War, as well as foreshadow our inevitable "Saw Guerra: Palpatine's Blowback" episode

new episode time! @lukeisamazing is here to review the 2019 video game, Jedi: Fallen Order. it's the game that dares to ask the question: what if you combined Dark Souls light with Star Wars? and you know what, it's better than it has any right to be. https://t.co/7UT7lA5R5K

[thunderous applause pod @thunderouspod]

new episode time, sorta. @lukeisamazing did a solo episode about the Medieval influences on Star Wars for his other podcast, @wnsdpod. we thought Thunderous Applause listeners might like it, so we crossposted. check it out! https://t.co/1B7QBkgH8X

@thunderouspod @JoinTheSchwarz @lukeisamazing Wow nice! I actually just started reading it the other day. Fantastic so far. Claudia Gray is easily one of my favorite SW authors.
