Ep. 150: S.T.E.A.M. into Star Wars Live Show

Episode 150 is the show recorded live at S.T.E.A.M. into STAR WARS event, Saturday, January 20th at Washington Community High School. S.T.E.A.M. into Star Wars Day celebrates Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math, wrapped in a Star Wars theme hosted by the High school and organized by Tom Gross (Teachers in the Dungeon and CWK Pour over podcaster) and his army of student volunteers. Local artists, authors, podcasters as well as members of the 501st Midwest Garrison were part of this event which included games, demonstrations, activities and a full slate off podcasts and panels throughout. The event host was Dan Zehr of Coffee with Kenobi, who with Tom are part of the WCHS staff. My show was the first podcast to start the day and I was able to bring on a handful of guests including Topps and Comic artist Camron Johnson, a WCHS alum, who talked about some of his new work and the busy schedule he has this year promoting his work. http://www.camronjohnson.com Jason Johnston from PeoriaCon was on hand to talk about the upcoming event in March and what it takes to put on an event. https://www.peoriacon.com Crista from Tailored Geek was a returning guest and vendor and talked about what costuming she brought with her to display and what it takes to put that together. https://tailoredgeek.com Mike Sommer from the Wax Pack Hero Podcast lives not too far and came up with some of his family. He talked about some of the things he liked about S.T.E.A.M. and some of his plans for 2024. https://waxpackhero.com Ross Hollebon came on briefly and gave a preview of his special show for S.T.E.A.M. into STAR WARS. We also talked with 8 year old Otto who was a raffle ticket winner and rounded out the show visiting with Dan Zehr. There were some audio difficulties with the second mic setup this year, but you should be able to hear the guests alright. Another goal for 2024 is working on new remote gear! My thanks to Tom, Dan, and all the folks at WCHS for inviting me down to the event again. It was a blast getting to hang with everyone and helping put on a great show!
