Fantha Tracks Radio: A Star Wars Podcast Network

The second Festival of the Force of 2026 took place on Saturday 1st August at Kent Event Centre and along with queues around the block, walls packed with costuming groups, artists, traders and much more there was the Interview Stage, which saw 18 guests take to the stage across the day. Mark Newbold returned as stage host, and in the latest episode from the show we hear his conversation with Nick Jameson (Emperor Palpatine for LucasArts) and Alex Waldmann (Lieutenant Krole in Andor season 2).
