Happy Star Wars Day, everyone!

Today’s entry in the Star Wars Holiday Special podcast special features a conversation with my friend, Drew. I’ve known him since my freshman year in college. My roommate, Matt, talked about him all the time. They were good friends in high school (and beyond). Matt was rarely in our office when he called (this was back before cell phones, so he actually had to call our room). So I’d answer and tell him that I’d let Matt know he called. Then we’d chat for a few minutes.

I’m pretty sure he wound up coming to our wedding.

Fast forward about a decade. We wound up reconnecting over Facebook and found that we had a mutual passion for Star Wars.

Anyway, long story short…it just made sense to include him in this series. Thanks again, Drew, for taking the time to talk. I had a blast. Let’s do it again soon.

Don’t forget to give my little podcast a follow. It should be available wherever you find your favorite podcasts.
