Cover art for the Lore Genius podcast.

Lore Genius

A podcast where we tackle a huge narrative world in an obtuse order.

The pitch: An claims to have watched several Star Wars movies but has some very suspicious gaps in their memory. Along with their more experienced co-hosts, Augur and Saturn, they identify a series of tightly-focused research questions to fill in those gaps. A sensible podcast might use a chronological order, or cover the central plot events first, but Lore Genius attempts to answer the question by following a research thread, using the gaps in An’s knowledge as an idiosyncratic map on their quixotic journey to learn everything.

Listen along as we take one person from the vaguest understanding of Star Wars into the furthest recesses of canon, semi-canon, and non-canon in a foolish attempt to become the LORE GENIUS.
