    Ivy Insights

    The Tapcaf Transmissions is a podcast that focuses on the Star Wars Expanded Universe (EU) and serves as a book club for fans of the old EU stories. Hosted by Corey and Justin, this Canadian duo provides insightful discussions and context about the Legends that can't be found simply by skimming through Wookieepedia summaries. Whether you're a fan looking to learn more about the EU or someone who wants to reminisce on the old stories, this podcast is a great choice.

    One of the best aspects of The Tapcaf Transmissions is the dynamic between Corey and Justin. Their banter and humor make each episode entertaining and enjoyable to listen to. They excel at providing in-depth analysis of the novels and comics, discussing what makes them great while not being afraid to poke fun at what makes them terrible. Even if you haven't read a particular book, their discussions are still engaging and informative. Additionally, they occasionally invite guests from other Star Wars content creator channels, adding diversity to their discussions.

    Unfortunately, one drawback of this podcast is that it occasionally includes major spoilers for those who are reading through specific parts of the EU, such as the New Jedi Order (NJO), Legacy of the Force, or Fate of the Jedi series. It's important to be cautious if you don't want these storylines spoiled for you. Additionally, some listeners may not always agree with Corey and Justin's opinions on certain books or aspects of Star Wars lore, which can be subjective.

    In conclusion, The Tapcaf Transmissions is an excellent podcast for fans of Star Wars Legends novels. Corey and Justin provide both entertainment and knowledge about these stories in a way that appeals to both casual fans and hardcore enthusiasts. While there may be occasional spoilers and differing opinions, overall it's a highly enjoyable podcast that keeps fans engaged with its in-depth discussions. I highly recommend giving it a listen if you're interested in diving into or reminiscing about the old EU stories.
