"The ForceCast is for fans of all types - from the casual film watcher to the die-hard conventioneer."
―The official iTunes listing for the ForceCast[1]

The ForceCast (formely TFN Podcast, launched on September 1, 2006)[source?] is the official podcast network of TheForce.net and Rebelscum.com. Through its diverse slate of programs, The ForceCast features news, interviews, events coverage, and discussion relating to the Star Wars franchise and community.[2] Lucasfilm representatives and Star Wars cast and crew members frequently appear on its programs to discuss current events. Episodes of the flagship program, also called The ForceCast, average one and a half hours in length and are released on Fridays.

History[]

The first incarnation of an official podcast for TheForce.Net was produced by Erik Blythe, but he had to step down from the show due to external conflicts. TheForce.net Content Manager Dustin Roberts held a contest for Blythe's successor, and Jason Swank and Pete Nadel were selected to continue the show, , later joined by Jimmy Mac.[2] In September 2008, Nadel left the show, with Jimmy Mac stepped up to take the role of the co-host.

Jason and Jimmy were recognized at Celebration V by TCW Supervising Director Dave Filoni as having contributed immeasurably to Star Wars fandom, and presented the two hosts with plaques commemorating their induction into his 104th Wolf Pack, which recognizes their significant commitment to the Star Wars community. Filoni mentioned that there are only fifteen such plaques in existence.

On January 13, 2013, it was announced that Jason and Jimmy would be leaving the team at TheForce.Net and Rebelscum.com as well as their work on The ForceCast in order to start their own podcast, Rebel Force Radio.[3] On February 13, 2013, TFN/Rebelscum/ForceCast webmaster Philip Wise announced the re-launch of the ForceCast network. Erik Blythe, former host of the TFN Podcast, and Eric Geller, became the new co-hosts of The ForceCast.[4] On June 20, 2014, Blythe and Geller announced that substitute ForceCast co-host Justin Bolger would join them as a permanent co-host. Bolger later left the show's full-time co-host spot.

On February 13, 2015, Geller announced that he was leaving his role as host of the main show. In March 2016 Erik Blythe left the network, and the show was shut down. On September 4th, 2017, the ForceCast was reborn with hosts Ryan Donoho and Daniel Berry--formerly of Podcast 66.
