After a small delay, we come back with our first ever "very special episode". Our love for pop-culture and all things nerdy has always given us things to love, and a community to belong to. But with the good comes the bad. Trolls and Gatekeepers make it so sometimes people don't even feel comfortable within their own community let alone trying to join a new one. What are some of the good things that your fandom has brought about? How is the community making it harder for each other? And what is the current state of fandom? We are joined by Sarah Dixey and Colin Albanese for a very cathartic episode! Remember to rate, subscribe, and stay passionate!
