Why Cory Won’t Fly with Luke Skywalker: Training Challenges in Sci-Fi and Reality

Clara, Eric, and Cory get together to discuss military training and how that training is represented in science fiction. In the course of the episode, the crew discusses what role basic training serves, how creativity and problem solving are taught, how to forge relationships with teams, and we all agree that Wedge Antilles is the best pilot around. The episode features Cory Hollon (@cory_hollon), Eric Muirhead (@StarfleetHist) and Clara Engle. Feel free to come join us on Twitter or Discord!
