In this special triple threat crossover of the Cannonball, Serious Fun, and Voyageur podcasts, your host, Eric Morgan, talks Star Wars and nostalgia with co-hosts Bryan Carr, Ryan Martin, and Chuck Rybak. 

Our show was directly inspired by "Star Wars: The Nostalgia Awakens," an exhibit of Star Wars toys on display earlier in 2021 at the Oshkosh Public Museum. The impressive collection of action figures, ships, and playsets is the lifetime work of Jarrod Roll, a Star Wars enthusiast and museum curator from Onalaska, Wisconsin. Roll currently serves as the director of the Monroe County Local History Room and Museum in Sparta. You can learn more about Jarrod's exhibit by visiting: https://www.starwarsexhibit.org/.
