Episode notes

Kurt and his crew of tattooed line denizens began to assemble at the doors of man's Chinese theater in Hollywood. The symbol that everybody like gravitated toward was the symbol of the Naboo. People would just stop by and like leave stuff like we would get like a thousand power bars or like a 25 foot subway sandwich. I mean, how Gary Coleman showed up at one point. It was it was very it was it was six week circus.

The Redemption of Jar Jar Binks is a new show from the TED Audio Collective, hosted by Dylan Marron.

The beloved intergalactic saga is set to debut a slew of brand new characters, one of whom is a revolutionary CGI creation named Jar Jar Binks. Whispers begin to spread about big changes coming to the galaxy far, far away – and not everyone’s happy about it.
