HAPPY 50TH EPISODE TO NEVER TELL ME THE PODS!  This week's episode is from our livestream events on May the 4th!  We take a few listener questions, and then James and Johnny launch into their explanation of the Thrawn Trilogy, which they have never come close to reading. There are a lot of visual bits in this episode, as it was a livestream.  I could've edited around it, but this is Pods. One note: we confused Thisspiasians and Sluissi in this ep.  Sorry about that — Master Oppo Rancissis is a Thisspiasian, not a Sluissi.  This is what happens when we do stuff live.

This week, we’re continuing our discussion with Livi Watkinson (@liviwatka) of her problematic fave, Kylo Ren. Johnny O’Mara’s connection cut out for the second half of our recording session, so he couldn't join us for this part.  As with last week, there is some clicking in Kat’s audio that Maddie did her best to fix.  I apologize — I didn’t want to lose Kat’s contributions, so I made the call to leave her portions in even if it’s distracting at times.  It is resolved about 1/3 of the way in.
