Ep #14: Sounding Like A Separatist

Hello there. This is the 14th episode of Beltway Banthas, now
proudly a member of the RetroZap family and podcast network! We are
really excited for this next chapter in the podcast as we continue
to explore the politics of Star Wars, and how Star Wars has
impacted our own worlds politics. That is what this show is all
about!! Our guest today is Mike O’ Connor, author of the piece
“Sounding Like a Separatist” (Retrozap, Newsweek, RawStory) which
offers a liberal interpretation of the Star Wars story. We loved
the piece and brought Mike on to talk about it and have some fun
banter around the topic. Beltway Banthas is a non-partisan podcast
and we are committed to journeying through the many layers of Star
Wars fandom and the sagas inner workings. We are committed to
respectful, fun and honest discourse. No posturing. Star Wars is
for everyone and there is room for lots of interpretations. Except
for Mace Windu is Snoke. That may be a bridge too far. We want to
hear from you! You can send us your thoughts on the show and topics
