(originally published November 28, 2015)

In 1981 National Public Radio, in conjunction with Lucasfilm, released a 13 episode original audio-based dramatic retelling of Star Wars.  As Star Wars launches to a new generation of fans, with a new series of films, The Expanded Fandomverse Network takes a look back, with a critical eye, to see how they have stood the test of time and if you really CAN do Star Wars without dazzling special effects. 

Join Jason Collier (Access Hollywood's Ultimate Star Wars Fan and co-host of the Expanded Fandomverse Podcast), Scott Ryfun (Host of the My Star Wars Story Podcast and co-host of Dinner 4 Geeks Podcast), and Erin Neidigh (Author of 5,100 Question Mega-Ultimate "Star Wars" Quiz Book) for reviews of all 13 original episodes.

All episodes are readily available to listen to on YouTube and purchase on iTunes. Some sound clips from the original dramas have been sampled to better enhance the reviewers comments. The Podcasts are planned monthly, but some extra episodes with bonus contact may drop more often. Make sure to subscribe to our main feed on iTunes and Stitcher and check back on our main webpage www.theexpandedfandomverse.com for new episodes.

In this Episode, we will cover not only the 1st episode, "A Wind to Shake the Stars", but also talk a little about the history of the Radio Drama in general.
