Season 1, Episode 15
Jim Braden
This week, our guest is Jim Braden, Content Director at IBM, fantasy writer, blogger, and Star Wars and Transformers super-fan. While Jim is best known locally as the only person to have a dedicated seat at an Alamo Drafthouse, his history also includes being a screenwriter in Hollywood and building a YA fantasy world in The Tower and the Gate.
In normal, non-pandemic times, Jim’s desk is a regular stop for our hosts, Jesse and Keith, on their afternoon “West Wing Walks” around the office. We invite you to listen in to what makes up our normal WWW conversations: Star Wars, The Mandalorian, Transformers and deep cut factoids about these amazing universes.
Some additional images of Jim’s marathon victory, his collection and other images:
