About the show
A place for everyone to share what they love
Hello everybody, and welcome to Rise of the Podcast. Our goal is to be a place for everyone to come and share what they love. We'd be stoked if you wanted to join us for an episode, or if you wanted to make a video together. Part of the joy of loving something is sharing it with others, and that's what we want to do here.
We love Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Marvel, LEGO, filmmaking, video games, VR, 3D printing, photography, cosplaying, and conventions.
We live stream every episode with way more content and stories on Twitch every Saturday night at 7:00 PM Central. If you want to be part of the action, come join us there.
Check out our weekly podcast where we talk about nerdy stuff, meet and talk with new people, and share cool stuff.
