About this listen

Join two queer 30-somethings every two weeks as they read (and occasionally watch) the Star Wars Legends oeuvre in publication order! They discuss the merits of the old extended universe and enjoy (or don't enjoy!) these pulpy sci-fi novels. And, eventually, they will talk about Dash Rendar. (We Need To Talk About Dash Rendar is our mirror-universe podcast, about a different franchise. We don't know why they picked that name.)Sophia Goodnight and Swamp Vendor Art

  • The Hold Of The Mind-Witch Is Upon You (The Newspaper Strips Vol 2)
    Jan 26 2026

    Join Po'od Cassa (she/her) and Wratte Kynnnge (they/them) to discuss Star Wars Epic Legends Collection: The Newspaper Strips Vol. 2, which collects the second half of the 70s to 80s Star Wars comic strip. We admit to a Buggles Boner and complain about The Thinker from TV's The Flash. And that's before we get to the comics! These were better than the first volume. We visit DNAngel for some reason and wax poetic about the improved lettering and art, not to mention the staggeringly beautiful women. If you want to talk about s-CRY-ed with Wratte Kynnnge, message us on Tumblr!

  • I Have To See A Toad About A Man (Lando Calrissian And The Starcave of ThonBoka)
    Jan 12 2026

    Join hosts Bateleur, a Sorcerer of Tunt (They/Them) and Étoile (She/Her) as we close out L. Neil Smith's Lando Calrissian Trilogy with Lando Calrissian And The Starcave of ThonBoka. The short version is that Smith crushed our spirits. Unlike our podcast, this book didn't have a point. Consider the many kinds of space whales and hear Bateleur (Sorcerer of Tunt) complain about Stephen Moffat. We'll also spoil the first Tiffany Aching book and aggressively defend LOST. And just another reminder, you can't be a misogynist if you don't have any female characters! Smith manages to be one anyway.

  • What Price Lizard Mold (Lando Calrissian And The Flamewind of Oseon)
    Dec 29 2025

    Join hosts Yellow Bird (she/her) and Waltzing Mouse (they/them) as we discuss Lando Calrissian And The Flamewind of Oseon by L. Neil Smith. Once again, we quite enjoyed this! It was less racist than the last one. We advocate for consensual torture and discuss memories of being Lost In The Mall. Yellow Bird does another unimpressive impression and Waltzing Mouse alludes to the AU where they're a Jordan Peterson type. Also introducing a new name for Waltzing Mouse's Implications Corner! Remember: You can't be misogynistic if you don't have any women!
