Tim went to the Phoenix Comicon this week, and as a result has a bunch to talk about before we get started. The big news, however, is that this week is our Star Wars special! Special guest Ben Sparrow comes in to share his wealth of knowledge about the Star Wars universe with us as we discuss the Force, lightsabers, Death Stars, and all the other goodness. Also – zombies.

Sorry about last week. Tim slipped into a coma from ingesting too much awesome at the “Iron Man 2″ showing.

What do we talk about this week? I was only half paying attention myself. Some technology, some politics, the Arizona law, some sports, and lots of other randomness. Enjoy…

Our second “Return” episode. Anyone who’s anyone knows there’s only one return, and it’s not of the king – it’s of the Jedi.

This week we cover a bunch of new technology news, including the Droid Incredible, the death of the Courier, a leaked E3 games lineup, and Apple’s raid on the home of a Gizmodo editor. In politics, we talk a bit about the new immigration law in Arizona and the ridiculous and widespread outrage in response to it. We also talk about the UK’s new “cuddle drug” and what that says about society’s views on masculinity.

Who are we?

Radio Spacebird is run by a couple of teenagers 20-somethings named Dan and Tim who get bored easily and like music. We play music, take requests, and do shows. We run off Dan's computer and do whatever we feel like. And we're certainly not syndicated. Syndicated radio lacks fun. We are fun. Have fun with us.

Weekly episodes Saturday nights at 7PST live on Ustream.tv!
