Published twice a year since 1984, Voyageur is a nonprofit magazine dedicated to preserving the history of a 26-county area of greater Northeast Wisconsin. Each issue highlights the historic people, places, and events from the region’s past. Voyageur is distributed to homes, schools, libraries, businesses, and other locations throughout Wisconsin, in nearly all fifty states, and abroad. Voyageur is published by the Brown County Historical Society in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.
In this special triple threat crossover of the Cannonball, Serious Fun, and Voyageur podcasts, your host, Eric Morgan, talks Star Wars and nostalgia with co-hosts Bryan Carr, Ryan Martin, and Chuck Rybak.
Our show was directly inspired by "Star Wars: The Nostalgia Awakens," an exhibit of Star Wars toys on display earlier in 2021 at the Oshkosh Public Museum. The impressive collection of action figures, ships, and playsets is the lifetime work of Jarrod Roll, a Star Wars enthusiast and museum curator from Onalaska, Wisconsin. Roll currently serves as the director of the Monroe County Local History Room and Museum in Sparta. You can learn more about Jarrod's exhibit by visiting: https://www.starwarsexhibit.org/.
