#222 P2 – Why Is English So Difficult? An Oppressive Language And The Music Of Jane Austen With Tony Farina

Author, educator, podcaster and all-round great guy Tony Farina returns to your feed for part 2 of a special 2 hour long conversation spanning all sorts of topics!

This week is part 2 and Mike & Tony discuss close political voting and political apathy, the importance of language & compassion and then delve back into religion from a moral perspective. They then talk about the journey Tony has been on since his first book; Welcome To Mansfield’s release, the upcoming audiobook, how music had an impact on his writing of the Austen Chronicles and it’s importance to the characters within the novels. Their conversation concludes with what 2024 holds for Tony in the book & podcasting world!

If you missed last week’s release (part 1) the duo began by discussing the idea of recording every waking moment and mobile/cell phone access, before the monarchy comes up including Elizabeth I, II and Mary Queen Of Scots which flows into England’s impact on world religion, the whole bizarre concept of having a Royal Family and the part ends with a “what-if” scenario!

Tony mentioned many things in this conversation including;

The library website https://search.worldcat.org, the TV series Victoria, the podcasts Cover To Cover by Chris Franjola and Mandatory Music & CD by Max Byrne on Comics In Motion, plus the musical artists Eric Hutchinson and Matt Nathanson.

Also the books; The Circle by Dave Eggers, Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari, Lamb by Christopher Moore and The Future Of Us by Jay Asher & Carolyn Mackler. The article I Don’t Want To Be Right by Maria Konnikova: https://www.newyorker.com/science/maria-konnikova/i-dont-want-to-be-right

Tony has been on GCC numerous times, the last two were episodes 195 (introducing his first Jane Austen Novel) and 219 (for Buffy Revisited).

This week brings another Star Wars conversation, where Dave, Maff, Megan & Mike go back to 1999 with the first of the controversial Prequel Trilogy; The Phantom Menace! The episode serves as a soft lead into the Clone Wars animated series, which Dave, Maff & Mike will be delving into in 2024 – Maff hasn’t watched the prequel trilogy in many years, while Mike is a staunch defender, so tune in to hear; is Phantom Menace actually any good?

They highlight certain characters, namely Jar Jar Binks, Darth Maul, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn, the political dialogue, how the movie was different from the original trilogy, things they believe could’ve been improved, elements that they enjoy and whether or not this film still deserves to be maligned even 24 years after release!

It’ll debut in 2024 and will be a monthly podcast by Dave, Maff & Mike where they’ll be going through each season of The Clone Wars animated series.

#211 P2 – Are Prophetic Dreams Real? Warning Signs, Scientific Thinking & Communication With Your Soul With Thomas Rochester

This week continues the existential conversation with actor, podcaster and deep-thinker; Thomas Rochester, talking about the concept of the soul & God, before & after death, prophetic dreams and so much more!

This release is part 2, where the conversation on deep thought continues; Mike & Thomas delve into prophetic dreams and talk about their own experiences, discuss past memories and alternate perspectives. Thomas then talks about communicating with one’s soul and how our physical forms limit certain knowledge which leads into a few of Thomas’ anecdotes. As their conversation draws to a close, the duo discuss how science & spirituality can work in tandem, an anecdote about vibrations and more – these podcasts are definitely for the deep/philosophical thinkers among you!

Last week was part 1 of the conversation, where Mike & Thomas loosely explained their theories on life and their respective relationships with religion, before delving deep into existentialism, self-care, the idea that we are all God (& if such a being exists) and Thomas talks about some literature that delves into these sorts of concepts (details below). The duo also discuss meditation, anchor points and more!

Thomas mentioned numerous things in this conversation including;

Star Wars: Ahsoka Part 7 Dreams And Madness: Is This Show’s Sole Purpose To Bring Thrawn Back? Plus Action Scenes Interrupting Dialogue, Baylan Is Amazing and Ezra’s Interesting Return, With Angry Andy & Mike

Our discussion on Ahsoka continues with the penultimate episode of the series; Part 7: Dreams And Madness!

Mike is joined by Angry Andy and their conversation begins with Andy’s thoughts on the series so far, before delving into Hera & The New Republic, Sabine, Baylan Soll & Shin Hati’s paths, Thrawn, Ezra and more! In more detail, the duo inadvertently are quite critical of the show, as they start with surface-level issues but end up pulling threads that lead to more & more questions, including; do Ahsoka’s actions have any impact on the outcome of this show’s plot (aka bringing Thrawn back)? Do Ezra’s actions make sense or do they just to prevent him being too overpowered? Can any character with a name die? Why is Baylan so interesting while Morgan Elsbeth is so dull? Is this show just a prologue to an upcoming movie? Mike & Andy ask these questions and more!

Star Wars: Comics In Canon – Before The Battle Of Jedha, Vildar Mac, Matty & Tey Search For Stolen Artifacts (High Republic [2022] Vol 1: Balance Of The Force #1-5) – Ep 126

AS THE PHASE 2 COMICS COMMENCE, TENSIONS ON JEDHA ARE RISING… For ep 126, Mike delves into the first volume of High Republic comics in the second phase, following Jedi Vildar Mac, padawan Matty, the Sephi Tey Sirrek, Guardians Of The Whills, The Path of The Open Hand and more! Mike explores this Jedha-based story, noting along the way how it connects to the rest of the High Republic while providing information along the way – this serves as a perfect prequel to The Battle Of Jedha audiodrama by George Mann (which Mike tackled on this show a few episodes prior).

This episode was first released on the feed of Comics In Motion, in May 2023.

These comics are in Phase 2, Wave 1 of The High Republic, which is 150 years before Phase 1, making it 350 years before The Phantom Menace (382BBY).

All of these comics were written by Cavan Scott and the colour artist was Frank William. Ario Anindito was the penciller for issues 1-3 with Mark Morales as inker, while Andrea Broccardo was artist for issues 4 & 5 and the Peace & Unity mini-comic.

Other Phase 2 High Republic content Mike has released are book reviews, all in 2023, are; Path Of Deceit on 7th Jan, Quest For Hidden City on February 14th, Convergence on March 18th and The Battle Of Jedha on April 22nd. A review for Cataclysm & the other phase 2 books will follow, as will THR comics, The Blade and other phase 2 content.

In the last episode (125), Mike delved into the second & final volume of the Han Solo & Chewbacca series, where Chewie finds himself in a prison with Maz Kanata and the young Phaedra, while Han recovers from being shot by Greedo. The duo must perform a heist all while avoiding a marshall, bounty hunters, the empire and more – plus Mike gives information on Korin Pers, the Gran & Chagrian species and gives an insight in what’s to come for the upcoming Dark Droids crossover event!

WHAT DID THE WANDERING RONIN DO BEFORE THE DUEL? For ep 124 (& April Fool’s Day), this episode is technically not “canon” as it takes place in a Star Wars Visions continuity, more specifically, The Duel.

Previously, in ep 123, Mike continued with the final chapter of the Qi’ra trilogy along with the Bounty Hunters & Aphra comic crossovers! As Chanath Cha finally confronts Vader for 2 decades of revenge, Aphra learns even more from the Spark Eternal and gets more than she bargained for! Plus Beilert Valance also takes issue with Vader & The Empire’s lies so tries to fight the Sith Lord one-on-one in an act of pure anger, but as we know Vader’s fate, what will happen to those who challenge the Sith Lord – will they live to tell the tale?

Star Wars: Convergence By Zoraida Córdova; Plot Summary & Spoiler-Free Book Review – Axel Greylark, Gella Nattai, Eiram & E’ronoh’s Forever War & More – High Republic Phase 2, Wave 1

THE FOREVER WAR BETWEEN EIRAM & E’RONOH ENDS… OR DOES IT?! Convergence is the focus of this episode; Mike provides an overview of Phase 2 of The High Republic, noting Phase 2’s intro crawl and provides his spoiler-free thoughts on the novel. He then reads the blurb and provides more information on the book, lightly speaking about characters and themes. Mike then gives the final spoiler-warning and talks in-depth about the characters and gives an overview of the book’s plot, some connections to other content and more!

This episode was first released on the feed of Comics In Motion, in March 2023.

This book is the third book in the second phase of the High Republic, it centres around the Forever War between the connected worlds of Eiram & E’ronoh, where the young royals Xiri & Phan-Tu try to bring the planets together and end the war, with the help of the Jedi Gella Nattai and Chancellor Greylark’s son Axel, but it seems more is happening behind the scenes, as every step towards peace seems to bring more destruction and pain…

Convergence is an adult novel written by Zoraida Córdova, it is set in Phase 2, Wave 1 of THR; 350 years before the Skywalker Saga and was released November 22nd 2022.

Shoutout to @BlueMilkMama for the great Greylark discussion, and for just being awesome!
