D.E.R. ran from 2010 to 2013, and again from late 2014 to 2015. Initially the official podcast of The Dark Empire costume club, D.E.R. became it's own entity in 2015 and ceased operation that same year. Most of the original Dark Empire Radio content has been lost, with these exceptions.
Richard LeParmentier
A short interview under ten minutes, originally was on The Dark Side Chats (episode 52, a precursor to Dark Empire Radio that ran from 2008 to 2010) on YouTube in 2010, and also replayed on DER. Use the YouTube player to view / listen to the original interview as it was presented.
Stephen Stanton
An interview from 2011 on DER with Stephen Stanton, as well as Rick Fitts and friends. Both Stephen Stanton and Rick Fitts would join our dark host at the first Hillsides Orphanage STAR WARS Day in 2011, a recurring annual (and later biannual) private orphanage event organized by Joe Mignano from 2011 through 2019.

Some great Star Wars-related discussions we had on DER back in the day worth remembering.
Hillsides Orphanage
A special report from the event in August 2013. This annual private summer event over the years became a biannual event with both summertime and Christimas-time visits to the kids. The event was even mentioned in the "Bantha Tracks' section of Star Wars Insider magazine in 2015.

Classic Commercial Parodies
STAR WARS-themed parody ads from the old days of the Dark Empire Radio podcast. These were heard from 2010-2015 on DER, and from 2015-22 on the 501stCast.
Remembering Jedi Elvis

|
This tribute to Eric Cajiuat was the last podcast entry ever to air under the Dark Empire Radio banner. Although DER officially ended in 2015, it was reactivated briefly in 2017 when Jedi Elvis left the building for the final time. He was a dear friend, and I wanted to remember him in the best way I knew how. This track includes some of his music, but also an interview with him from 2011, after a concert he did to raise funds for disaster relief in Japan. Rest in peace, pal.
