JD Slajchert has been many things in his young life, including a highly recruited high school basketball player who got his chance to play at the collegiate level, and now an author of young adult leaning SciFi and fantasy novels. But to ignore the public speaking and philanthropy he does would diminish the legacy of a young man whose life forever touched and changed JD, that young man was Luc Bodden. 

We talk with JD about all of these things and what they mean to him. What we found was an insightful young man who was grateful for the life and opportunities that have been set before him. What we also found is that he must have one heck of a patient editor ... listen to the interview, you'll exactly what we mean.

The joy of doing a SciFi and Pop Culture themed show like we have here is when we get to meet the young and upcoming creatives who will have a hand in shaping pop culture for years to come. That is definitely true of this weekend guest - a young rapper & musician named 40 Flow. We talk with 40 about where his name comes from, what his musical influences are and what he hopes to do in this music industry. And beyond all of the music he puts out for himself, he talks about creation of beats and collaborations with other artists and what that means to him both personally and creatively.
And find out who his favorite superhero is and whether he prefers the MCU or the DCU ...

From her time on Hannah Montana, Phineas and Ferb, LEGO DC Super Girls, Bill Nye The Science Guy, and the recent Dan Povenmire project - Hamster and Gretel.

ROUND 8 - FIGHT! We are back for our 8th installment of the Star Wars RPG game, and we are ready to get our geek on! Carefully combining the nerd powers of The FSF PopCast, Casey from The Scene Snobs, Ben Reilly from TikTok, and Sam from Growing Up Skywalker to play a Star Wars based RPG game live on air. That means all the goofs and mistakes stay in the broadcast ... yay! Current worries are that our GM has been getting 3D printed models of large Empire Ships/Machines. We have fears for our safety and should probably be planning back up characters! Oh and that GM is John Wass (husband of Kathleen and the editor of The FSF PopCast), and he's doing his best to lead us to our demise! Ignore his maniacal giggles .... we do! (ok we don't, it not typically a good sign of what's to come ...) Join us and chat with us in the comments section. Tell us what RPG's you play, what your favorite character build is! We start at 6:30pm EST on the YouTube channel of FSF PopCast, our Facebook page , as well as streaming on Twitch on the_podcast_guy channel.

We are so excited to welcome the amazing Kim Dwinell to the FSF PopCast. Kim is the author of the Surfside Girls novels that were recently made into a wonderful show on Apple TV Plus. It feels very modern, but also has a Nancy Drew / Hardy Boys feel to it. This is a show that is ready for fans of all ages. But we also talk with Kim about her career before writing the Surfside Girls novels. Kim spent as an artist / animator for Disney on movies like Mulan, Hercules and Tarzan. And in one of the more interesting questions, Kim Dwinell tells us if she prefers telling stories with pictures or with words. Be sure to stick around for that.
