PlagCast Episode IV: A New Podcast
Before I say hello, yes, Plagueis above is not properly spelled. I swear I'll demand the boss himself make a new one soon.
But without further adieu, welcome to the fourth episode of the Plagueis Podcast: PlagCast! The podcast runs a bit long as you'll see in a moment, but for super good reason. We had a special guest on the show, and they and the cast got deep into the fictional elements that comprise Star Wars and Brotherhood lore, as well as genuine writing tips and tricks for use in the DB and abound.
Below, as per usual, you will find the timestamps and production information. I hope you all enjoy, and once again, shout out to the man himself, Vivackus for getting this going. Though it may be PlagCast, the podcast is meant for everyone in the Brotherhood. Enjoy!

With every podcast, the production, the conversations, and the company just continue to get better. Viv, thank you once again for editing this monster podcast, and thank you to all the guests and hosts (did I just thank myself?) for your amazing work. I seriously hope you all enjoy the podcast.
As always, if you have questions or topic ideas, send them along to Vivackus via the DJB e-mail he has listed in his dossier. Or you know what, send it here: [Log in to view e-mail addresses].
Adapt. Ascend. Avail.

Don't worry, guys - we made sure Wally remembered "Return of the Jedi."
This was a super fun episode to record and participate in. Many thanks to Viv for moderating and editing. Looking forward to the next installment!
Yaaas, also an idea for when you get past the number of episodes you could maybe just add new in front of it (A New New Podcast would be funny), or a number 2, or possibly even look at what you discuss and name it along those lines. Just a few ideas.
I can't wait to listen! I am always looking forward to the next instalment!
Thanks for being a guest, Wally! This was a fun one. Looking forward to doing more interviews like this in the future.
