For Light and Life

Hello, listeners. It's been a while. :) Here are some unscripted updates about what I've been doing in the meantime! (GASP - unscripted? Can she do that???)

As a sequel to last week's episode, Lucy examines some fan-favorite Star Wars characters' personalities . . . and how they have consequences in the plot. Featuring analysis of Ahsoka, Anakin, Luke, Han, and Sabine. Also, now you can match your own personality to a TTWF character here: https://www.opinionstage.com/page/63bfe290-dc3b-4f82-a770-2c8ed4301ae4 Watch the VCU film here: https://youtu.be/hC28qPQkAyA?si=Ur9kl78lLogrK0U5 Fan-email: forlightandlife.podcast@gmail.com Spotify playlist: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify – For Light and Life SW favorites⁠⁠⁠⁠ Send in voicemails: https://www.speakpipe.com/ForLightandLife

YAY, CHAOS! Lucy, Adae, and Retta settle in for the most chaotically entertaining video call in For Light and Life history, as they have no idea what the interview questions are or how to answer them! With Adae voicing Nora, Lucy simultaneously voicing Dacai and Lucy, and Retta voicing Mandalorian interviewer Mira Tal, what could go wrong? (And did I mention that we had to stay fully in-character, make up our own banter, come up with decent answers, AND pay attention all at once?) Huge thanks to Adae and Retta for this delightful time!
