You're not going to be here. All right, well, if you're listening to this, I hope all of you have listened to the amazing radio drama we just released here on the Force

Network and the Force.net and that's Star Wars Idols of the Force.

And joining me around the virtual table are some of the people who

help make this thing come to life after years and years of working on it.

So joining me around the table are three people that that are very very important to this project and hopefully after our conversation

You'll get to kind of know a little bit more about the behind the scenes the history and and how the story came to be.

So joining me is Nate Defort, Tim Bongeroth, and Alex Levitsky.

Tim will start with you.

Introduce yourself, who are you, Tim? How did you what what part did you play in this project and just kind of give us a little low down

Yeah, absolutely happy to be here

I started writing spec scripts.

I was a big fan of the Clone Wars. I intended to write one or two one-off episodes for my writing portfolio and I launched into a nearly decade long adventure that I made a lot of friends and made my first
