Starfighters (On Itunes) In Swedish... so I can't really review it. But I wanted it here for completeness. Last update Oct. 2014



Note: I plan on keeping this up to date.

Oh thank God, I was really hoping I wouldn't have to shamelessly plug myself.

Well, S*$%... there goes the neighborhood!

It is entirely the fault of Chumbalaya and Cowboy Kenny that I'm annoying my local group trying to get x-wing happening.

All I wanted was to keep up with my 40k, but noooo. The "fluffiest bunny" had to go and ruin that.

I will apologize and accept full responsibility.

Updated the first post and added information about Nova Squadron Radio.

Just keep the episodes coming, Chumby... I'll keep listening to them.

Scumandvillainry also a great one.

May have misspelt it but its great.

Added it! Thanks!

Awesome stuff, i'll check these out

I've caught up on all four podcasts. I'm enjoying them all.

Unofficial X-Wing Podcast has the disadvantage that it isn't as regular as the others. Ben and Ben are pretty approachable for people coming into the game, and that is a good thing.

Kessel Run has Chumby ... and he is very funny. The sound board is a key component of the show, and it is very enjoyable to listen to. They are in the D/FW area of Texas... one of the larger X-Wing markets, and they get to a lot of store events. Always fun to listen to.

I'm really enjoying Nova Squadron as well. They have more of a 'no nonsense' approach, especially when compared with Kessel Run. Solid tactical information and reviews of the upgrades and ships. This is the kind of podcast that I will likely re-listen to.

As far as Scum and Villainy, everything that I said for Nova applies here as well. Based in the Kansas, Omaha, Missouri area, they have a surprisingly vibrant community, and I can't wait to listen to more of their episodes. They are also heavily involved with playing over Vassal... and have an international perspective. Solid listening.

I was going to make the argument that Nebraska is more than just Omaha, but then I realized that no, it really isn't.

Really like both the Scum and Villainy (KS/MO player myself), and Kessel Run podcasts. Especially like that most recent episode of Kessel Run going over Chumby's regional run with a 3 ship Imperial build. Haven't given the Nova podcast a listen yet, but it's on my list to check out.

LOL... I grew up in North Dakota (better than 80% of people live within 3 miles of the eastern boarder) and now live in South Dakota (similar, but not as extreme). I know what you mean.

Maybe it's my rampant narcissism, but I really enjoy reading what people think of the stuff I do.

Chumby,
I'm glad that you guys went to splitting the waves when you review them. Hopefully, you'll be able to revisit older ships and talk about the newer upgrades for them... that is if FFG ever pauses long enough for the community to gather their collective breath!

Here you go then;

I thoroughly enjoy the Kessel Run podcast on the Heroic 28s.
The balance between funny banter and hard information is just right.
The chemistry between the hosts are obvious, and that is what makes it such a pleasure to listen to.

The production has always been good, but it is clear that from you first episode (number four, as episode one to three doesn't exist.....I love that! ) to now the planning and thought going into the topics has increased.

Good work. Keep it up.

My only complaint is that you, of course, need to produce episodes much faster, as I would like several a week.

Moved the unofficial x-wing podcast down to inactive... their last episode was July.

Was enjoying the unofficial one as well, I started about the same time as they did

All three of the main podcasts are still going strong, and I'm still really enjoying what they are producing.

Added the Winging-It Podcast after hearing about it on Nova Squadron.

Added the Armada Podcast, Intensify Forward Fire... updated the thread title and moved Winging-it.

Added Back to the Dials podcast

Added Mynock Squadron Podcast

Worried about The Kessel Run... they haven't updated in a while. I know that Cowboy Kenny has changed jobs again, and all the Heroic 28's podcasts have currently suffered.

Adding Stay On Target

Adding Youtube and Twitch Channels

Added Hella Squadron and TCX.
