    THE BEST OUT THERE
    ISP never fails to brighten my worst days. Clare, Nicky and Charlie are some of the funniest folks on the planet and twice as kind.
  • A7xfanJDubs17
    Amazing content but even more amazing people!
    What’s not to love?? Great opinions of Star Wars and nerd stuff, talking about the topics that matter, and pushing positivity ALWAYS. The ISP crew are some of the best!

    Best Star Wars Podcast!!!
    Charlie, Nicky and Clare have intelligent, informed and funny takes on all things Star Wars. The chemistry between the 3 hosts is wonderful! If you only listen to one podcast, this is the one!

    “Simply the best” podcast
    That’s a song from Tina Turner but it’s true for this show. Comedy, connections and they have a lovely community.

    A Star Wars Podcast full of Fun!
    This podcast is so much fun. I laugh so much at Clare Stribling’s, Charlie Ashby’s, and Nicky Kumar’s outlandish and sometimes frankly ridiculous jokes and insights about Star Wars, and really anything else. Listen to this podcast and enjoy. -Eli

    Not Bots
    I met them at Star Wars Celebration Chicago and can confirm that they're actual humans and not elaborate voice-replicating software.

    This is the Star Wars positivity you need!
    The Imperial Senate Pod trio are some of the most genuine, hilarious, & kind people in the geek podcast realm. Listening to their show feels like checking in with your friends. It’s so obvious that this fandom and this property mean the world to them. So funny with so much heart. Take the ride with them! Once you see how you’re able to gather new connections and insights from listening to their wonderful interactions, you’ll wish you could hang with them and talk Star Wars!

    The moist maker
    They end their episodes asking what makes you moist about Star Wars and my answer is always this show. Thanks for making my drive tolerable, btw my girlfriend knows your show as the moist podcast so you’re killing it
  • DarthWoody
    A Fantastic SW Podcast!
    Charlie, Claire, and Nicky bring some great discussions and views on Star Wars in what may be the raunchiest SW podcast (which is a good thing... I think) on the Internet!
  • eldiablito_72
    Moisture farming at its best!!
    These guys are hilarious and have good chemistry together. Come for the Star Wars talk and stay for the moistness of it all!!
  • Settler Bro
    Cringe but good
    Really enjoy the takes and perspectives on Star Wars news and culture. Have never finished an episode after the word “moist” is uttered. So bad.

    IT'S THE MOISTEST!
    This podcast has become my favorite of the few I still have time to listen to. The hosts are entertaining and knowledgable about the content. While generally they are in the same camp concerning their opinions/beliefs of the Star Wars universe, they don't always agree. But I think it's important to hear the differing viewpoints as you might see something from a different angle that you didn't see before. It's just Star Wars fans like you and me talking about the galaxy we love.

    Great Star Wars podcast
    Feels like hanging out with old friends, complete with inside jokes.
  • Jonnypschwartz
    Another SW podcast in my rotation!
    I’m a new listener and I’m really enjoying the show. It’s nice to hear hosts that truly love Star Wars having great discussion about the Galaxy Far, Far Away. I’ll be adding this show into regular rotation with my other favorite Star Wars podcasts!

    The Force is with this pod!
    The hosts love Star Wars and it shows! Great conversation and great fans. This is a good example of what SW podcasts should be!
  • SteveAdiMundi
    A Podcast to add to your regular listening
    Charlie, Nicky, and Kristen are passionate and dedicated Star Wars fans who put on a really fun podcast. I encourage you to subscribe and listen to them every time a new episode drops! Keep up the good work! MTFBWY
  • BJ Smith
    great SW podcast
    I like this podcast. Great intro music, Nicky is funny and Charlie's accent--wow. I wish the trolls who posted negative reviews had enough sack to actually post their real names. Oh well. I'll keep enjoying the podcast even if they won't. Keep it up Charlie and Nicky, you guys do good work.
  • Swarz Seawalker
    Great and fun podcast
    It's really great and lively discussion every epsidoe with awesome guests! Also really refreshing to have more millenial hosts. A very welcome addition to the world of Star Wars podcasting
  • Dexter Jettster
    Great podcast
    I've been following Charlie on twitter for some time (his tweets are gold) so I finally checked out his podcast! Good stuff

    Best SW Podcast of 2017
    An immaculate conception for my ears.
  • Charlotte Errity
    Great podcast!

  • ledpinkphish
    Entertaining!
    This show is like listening to good friends talk Star Wars, and it is great!
  • Tacothegalaxy
    How did I wind up here?
    Holy smokes. I'm on the hunt for more Star Wars. This ain't it, folks. I feel like I just eavesdropped on a phone call between two kids complaining about Star Wars celebration. Awkward, humorless, self indulgent... how did I wind up here??
  • Eric (the Good Motivator)
    Genuine and Funny
    These guys sound and feel very real in this podcast. It doesn't come across as overly-scripted or heavy. Their "let's see what happens" approach is very appealing, and it reminds me of having similar conversations with my friends. Great sense of humor. Give it a go; I think you'll be glad that you did!
  • SuperMario77
    Not Good
    My kids and I tryout a lot of podcasts but this is the 1st one they asked to turn off midway through...I told them that we would give the show the benefit of the doubt and finish it. My mistake. My 15 year old said it was like "watching paint dry with your ears"...so can't recommend. Luckily 90% of the other podcasts we've found have been much better. Can't win'em all.
  • @GOStarWars
    Direct
    Charlie and Nicky follow the Star Wars currents like so many, but they do so in a direct manner. Not only do they get right into the topics or news or character analyses (whichever each particular show seems focused on) but they stay on the subject that they are grappling in a way that leads listeners to further thinking. Proof that the last remnants of the Old Republic have NOT been swept away!
  • Beard Analyst
    Worthy addition to the SW podcasting world!
    There is no phenomenon quite like the Star Wars podcasting craze. The entire fandom seems to be drawn the medium like flies, and it's very clearly become the most popular way for Star Wars fans to express themselves, either as listeners or, increasingly, hosts. Unfortunately, due to the sheer quantity, many of those podcasts don't grab my attention (granted, the really bad ones are still fun to listen to). Some try to be something they're not, and end up being too formal, too redundant. But the ones who are self-aware, and especially the ones who are just a couple of fans having fun talking about Star Wars -- those are the ones that stand out, and reinforce the idea that for whatever reason, Star Wars podcasts are just awesome. Charlie Ashby and Nicky Kumar are two fans I've been following (literally, on Twitter) after participating in some conversations on the increasingly popular Rebel Force Radio Facebook group. Their thoughts are insightful, unique, goofy, open-minded, and relentless in their interest and passion. And they've successfully transferred that energy into a podcast that reflects all of those qualities. The Imperial Senate Podcast has no frills. There are no theme songs, segments, intros or outros, special guests, nothing. Just two guys talking about Star Wars. And it works so well. I'm sure they'll add those things later on, but it would only add to the show at this point; the chemistry is there right off the bat, and that's a rare thing. Definitely subscribe; it's well worth your time. (My only qualm is the title; I do wish podcasts wouldn't add "cast" or "podcast" to the end of their titles. It's like calling Seinfeld "The Seinfeld TV Show".)
