Gordcast
Now in it's XXth? year, Gordie Adams' Gordcast covers music, comic books, movies, television, memories, nostalgia, current events and whatever else comes up in conversations with friends and sometimes in an informal interview with someone Gordie wants to know more about. Fellow aficionado Paul Bertolino joined as co-host of the Gordcast for the majority of episodes and along the way, Gordie welcomed a roster of special guests. After a hiatus he is back and invites you to hang out with the Gordcast for entertaining conversation and good company. Join us and have fun! Bonus episodes of The Gordcast Shuffle (wherein Gordie and Paul each gave three random spins to their vast music collections and talk in wonderful detail about the songs that show-up) are included in the same feed.
GORDCAST 92 - The Force Awakens!

Nathan Alfaro joins Gordie and Paul, to talk nuthin' but STAR WARS!

We begin the conversation with early Star Wars viewing stories and then jump headfirst into THE FORCE AWAKENS with complete and utter *SPOILERS* everywhere.

DO NOT LISTEN PAST THE 15 MINUTE MARK, IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED!

We stay on topic the entire episode, so if you're not Star Wars People, this may not be the episode for you.  We had a great time!
