The Smuggler's Dispatch
Join our hosts Mikel Howarth and Alex Stewart as they traverse the Star Wars galaxy aboard the Raven V, a heavily modified transport vessel, helmed by their repurposed battle droid, C-B7. Our fearless hosts will spend each episode focusing on a single topic within the Galaxy far, far away. From in-universe histories to behind the scenes deep dives, Alex and Mikel approach the topics with a positive, fun, and thoughtful approach, all while trying to avoid Imperial entanglements. We'll see you on board the Raven!
