SWFUK PODCAST: Episode XI Recognising Foul Stenches LAUNCHED

We here at the Star Wars Forum UK Podcast are delighted to announce the launch of our eleventh episode : Recognising Foul Stenches.





We have another buster of a podcast for you this month.

We welcome a new member to the podcast crew as the four become a five once again with forum favourite Jez joining the team. Jez has worked hard on his first full podcast and is clearly going to be a valuable member in the future.

This months interview is totally charming as we chat with American Bruce White about Princess Leia, Tattoos, Art, Anaheim and his cosmetics beauty bag amongst a host of other things.

This months oddballs takes a behind the scenes look at the autograph track, joining Grant to look at this is none other than Gerald Home, A.K.A Squid Head - our first Star Wars on screen guest!

But Grants interview with Gerald Home plays second fiddle to an interview special, when Jez's son Leo takes to the airwaves to ask Gerald Home the questions we all want to hear the answers to.

Forum Roundup has been axed in favour of new segment Vintage Star Wars News where the podcast team bring you the hot topics from across all the forums and Facebook. This month the team look at the current Facebook reproduction and ugrade protest as Grant chats to two of the driving forces behind the campaign in Ross Barr and Jason Smith.

Also in this months news we speak to part of our podcast family, Iain Sanderson as we discuss his new Acrylic displays which are now on sale.

Rich goes into the recent Lily Ledy reproduction weapon haul and speaks with Paul Ford from TIG to discuss the matter.

Jez takes control of his first LA section and looks at items from DrBallMD, Grant_C, Savory100, Joe and DublinJeff.

We also have some huge announcements regarding the podcast stage at Anaheim as well as a look at the recent Farthest From event where Pete caught up with Spaniard Dan Franco, who gives his thoughts on his first Farthest From experience.

All this plus the other usual segments make this a podcast to sink your teeth in. So grab yourself a brew, put your feet up and immerse yourself in Star Wars Vintage Collecting!

Thanks for coming on once again Iain, always great to have you on. The plaques are fantastic and i'd urge everyone to go and get themselves a great display piece.
I've got about another 35 minutes from my chat with Iain, so watch this space in case we roll out the rest of what was discussed!



Just want to say a huge huge thank you to Bruce White, Gerald Home, Ross Barr, Jason Smith, Iain Sanderson, Dan Franco, Paul Ford and Leo. Without the guests this podcast would just be another mundane podcast but the guests in my opinion make it what it is and we truly appreciate it when people make the effort to come on and join us.

Nice one, will listen on Monday

Congratulations Jez on joining the Podcast team.
Excellent LA round up....Thank you very much for the mention and kind words with regards to the small reference guides, I genuinely appreciate it

Great show again all round...

It's 'Do not bend. Do not fold. Basa cardbacks are made of gold."



Jason

It's still crap.


:lol:

I like coal. I like whippets. Collecting cardbacks is really wicked.



Jason

Don't do fake, don't do phoney, MOCS are tainted thanks to a dick called Toni

Just downloaded this!

I've listened to every episode so far and you guys are doing an absolutely sterling job. Keep them coming and hope to see you in Anaheim!

Congrats on another great Podcast guys! Thanks for having us on to talk about the Ledy repros.

Congrats to Jez on joining the team. Jez, that's cool you've gone orangey and decided on a LXWP focus 8)
I've been collecting LXWP for a few years (very slowly) including the X-Wing Fighter and X-Wing oddball stuff.
I'd also like to join in giving a shoutout to Marc Caraway who helped me lots with my X-Wing variations guide: http://www.imperialgunneryforum.com/t7463-the-x-wing-fighter-variations-thread-xwingfighter
Marc is the Godfather of all things X-Wing and has been a great source of info.

Enjoyed Ross and Jason's interview and agree these past few weeks have been fantastic for postive news about repros and U-Grade. Kudos.

Congrats on getting Gerald Home on the show. What a gent he is.

Good to hear about the theater programmes. I picked mine up two years ago from Todd Chamberlain. It's the pebble style cover with matte pages inside. I didn't know there was a rarer UK issue.
I love the programme because it's nice to have something directly related to the movie release that fits my eternal "soz I'm skint budget"
Here are a couple of pics, the cover art is Tom Jung:













Finally, well done everyone involved and good luck for Anaheim!! 8)

Paul

Anything that involves the velvet geek is A+ in my book..oh and adding Jez to the team was the perfect move! The A-TEAM!!

New show! Good news!
Good way to start the week knowing you guys will help me go through four work hours :mrgreen:

Congrats to Mr. X Wing himself, Jez! see you in Anaheim mate

Congrats Jez on your addition to the team. Fully deserved!

Thank you for the warm welcome fellow podcast crew
Thank you for your kind words fellow SWFUKers
It is a massive privilege to represent the forum in this way, i'll try to do it justice.
Right i'm off to check out the Latest Acquisitions thread again! 8)

I'm looking forward to the next one already :lol:

Half way through it now, excellent as always guys

One question/comment though, I noticed that during Jason's interview it was mentioned that this forum has banned the sale of Toy Toni's? As far as I know that has not been agreed, and was not listed in the new rules. Just wanted to clarify that people are still allowed to sell declared Toy Toni's on this forum until further notice.

Rich- Next months Shownotes please. :wink:

Yeah we better put a correction out. Bloody amateurs.

Really honored to be included in the latest podcast. But does my voice really sound that dumb and whiny? My wife WAS right!!!!!!!

Seriously though, thanks again Grant. It was a pleasure, and you are a great ally in the fight against repros and U-grades.
