Jabba's Left Hand Man reveals all

Some of the links have died, and I removed them, but I have left the text here, for my own reference...

Most recently (July 2020), I spoke to Peter Davis as a contribution to his website "Their Star Wars Stories"

In April 2020 I spoke to Scott and Mike at Verbal Shenanigans, an eclectic podcast - which was a lot of fun (about an hour)

A recent interview with Star Wars aficionados: a *graphcast* with Star Wars Autograph Universe April 2020

Always worth checking out: Life Inside Jabba the Hutt: Slimy piece of worm-ridden filth, a 20 min filmumentary by Jamie Benning

In June 2020, I talked to Ethan Dettenmaier on Combat Radio, out of LA. You can find a 5 minute teaser on You Tube (below)

Or the whole 52 minutes audio as an MP3, here

There's a work-in-progress on Instagram, by Alvaro Cañadas - check it out here

One that escaped from me, but just turned up: at the Unboxing convention in Mexico City in 2017

At one time I did an interview with Trial By Stone (a Dark Crystal website), Episode 3, and an extended version later, Episode 9...

When I worked for the libraries...one of the branches asked me to do a talk about my varied life. Here is an hour or so.
