Hello, friends, and welcome to the first installment of what Chelsea is lovingly calling Maternity Madness — a series of vault episodes flashing back on some of our favorite moments from the first three years of podcast! Today we’re going back in time to our first ever guest episode, talking with longtime friend of the pod (and return guest) Di, who is not only a badass librarian but is our resident Star Wars expert! This episode originally aired in December of 2017, during what we lovingly called our Star Wars December, and as such covers not just Phasma but a lot of our general fandom feelings! So without further ado…***

Today we are talking about Phasma by Delilah S Dawson with one of our lovely friends, librarian-in-training Di! You can find her tweeting about a wide variety of nerdy and wonderful things @bookishdi and her AO3 account is kerrykhat. We talk about our deep love of Star Wars, the loveliness of The Last Jedi’s cast, and why Brendol Hux is the absolute worst. We also share our current reads and what we’ve got coming up next.
