Hello there! Welcome to the first episode of Tales of the Force. In this episode I share some of my personal Star Wars story. I talk about what I want this podcast to be, growing up with Star Wars, my mental health journey, what inspires me about Star Wars, and my hope for this show.
General reminder.
