Ep #6: Wherefore Art Thou "Newt" Gunray

Thank you for tuning in for another installment of Beltway Banthas,
a Star Wars podcast at the intersection of Coruscant &
Washington DC. On this weeks episode, Stephen breaks down his time
at AwesomeCon 2016 that brought Kevin Smith and a million Kylo Rens
to the nations capital. Stephen assembled a special assembly of the
DC Jedi Council for a round table chat about Star Wars fandom. He
was joined by Kristen Soltis Anderson (The Pollsters podcast &
author of 'The Selfie Vote') and Mike Shields (President of the
American Action Network, fmr Chief of Staff of the RNC and
Communications Director for Newt Gingrich). We had a great time
discussing the films, the politics of the prequels and digging into
the role political parties play in a functioning republic. This has
been an emotional week for many. Stephen dishes some thoughts on
the state of our union and how we can help our friends in Orlando:
