Star Wars FM to End (Mostly)
(source: Star Wars FM, 08-04-07)
With Star Wars FM #18 released today (featuring discussion on Transformers and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with guest Nathan P. Butler), Matt and Ben Loewen have also made a surprise announcement this weekend that will come as a disappointment (with a bit of hope) for SWFM listeners.
Here's the word from Ben Loewen:
Matt and I have decided that the next episode of Star Wars FM (that is, [SWFM #19]) will be the final episode. We decided this because I just recently got an internship at a television station that will eat up my time for a few months, and with Matt going to college at the end of August and only coming home once a month, neither of us will have any time to actually go out and see any movies. So, after Episode 19, SWFM will be officially ending. However, this only means the end of the regular editions. There's nothing to say we won't be making more movie commentaries or other projects, and we'll definitely still be updating the written review section on the SWFM website. It's been a great two years and Matt and I both thank all our listeners and guests for putting up with us. Thanks!
The series shall be missed, but we look forward to more oddball episodes like commentaries in the future. In the meantime, be sure to check out SWFM #18 today and keep an eye out for the final episode, SWFM #19 soon!
