A little bit later than scheduled this month. We are blaming February, it ended early. But finally Episode 81 is here.

2020/10/31

Still very much alive, our intrepid band of collectors remove their masks, give their microphones and surrounding areas a bally good rub down with disinfectant and soldier on like any stern British podcaster would expect to do in a crisis.

STAR WARS The Vintage Rebellion Podcast ·

2020/02/28

Funnily enough the episode number of this podcast produced zero crude jokes and innuendo's, which is surprising.

The main interview sees Richard catch up with David Deans to discuss many things including his love of that short fused droid R5-D4.
