BONUS: Intro To The Summer of George! & 'Phantom Menace' Talk At Podathon 2024
‘Yub Nub’ joins the Sonar podcast network and supports the Make A Wish foundation for Podathon 2024
In case you missed it in your podcast feeds, we released a special BONUS episode yesterday (which happened to be George Lucas’ 80th birthday)!
In it, we break the news that Yub Nub is joining The Sonar Podcast Network and talk about seeing The Phantom Menace in theaters as part of PODATHON 2024, the fourth annual, all-day marathon livestream event benefiting MAKE-A-WISH.
Conceived by a handful of podcasters in 2020 as a way to raise money for Make-A-Wish at the height of the pandemic, Podathon has become an annual event that continues to do good as a result of the generosity of the STAR WARS fan community.

Hosts: Greg Iwinski. Jim Fagan, &

Somehow, Yub Nub Returns May 31st!
And we’re so thrilled you’ll be joining us for THE SUMMER OF GEORGE!
Our debut season with The Sonar Podcast Network is dedicated to the media that inspired George Lucas to create Star Wars, as well as the media he created leading up to the 1977 release of the original film.
What’s your favorite piece of media that inspired George Lucas? And what topics would you like us to cover for #HotGeorgeSummer? Leave a reply/comment to this post or leave a voice memo/text at YubNubPod@gmail.com
See ya soon!

I’d have to say Kurosawa is my favourite Lucas/Star Wars inspiration. Hopefully we get an episode or at least the bulk of one dedicated to The Hidden Fortress. I’m also hoping for some sort of The Acolyte coverage.
