Brews and Blasters is THE Star Wars Podcast Party!

Welcome to a different sort of Star Wars podcast. Born from the discussions between two friends at a local pub in the historic town of Salem, Massachusetts, Brews and Blasters is your chance to kick back and enjoy everything about that galaxy far, far away.

Each episode, hosts Chris Salton and Joe Tavano sit down to do what they'd be doing anyway–talk about all things Star Wars, tell some stories, and have a good time. Join them as they share their love for Star Wars, the most obscure Star Wars characters, Boston’s North Shore, 1980s pop culture and delicious food, and occasionally talk to fascinating people–and friends, like an anthropomorphic packet of crystallized lime.

The Star Wars Party starts now! It's time for Brews and Blasters.

Mar 17, 2019

This is it! Whether we're the Hall and Oates, the Bill and Ted, the Chris and Joe of Star Wars podcasting, we've hit 200 episodes.

To commemorate this commemorative moment, we've decided to share some never-before-heard footage, share some insight into how the show got started, and give you our thoughts on why the show has endured all this time--and will for years to come. PLUS, we got a barge to look and a macaroni and cheese to discuss. The Star Wars Party starts NOW! It's time for Brews and Blasters.
