Episode 21.5 of ComicPop Library

Matt and I walk through giving an audio tour of Wichita Kansas’ Exploration Place’s, Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination exhibit.  Along the tour we meet up with Exploration Place’s President Jan Luth for a quick interview and you get a brief sampling of the Millennium Falcon experience.  The transitions are a little rough, but we make it through the asteroid field.  If you have not been to the exhibit yet make your plans because the exhibit only runs through September 3.
