Episode 55: Happy Anniversary #2. Flourish and Elizabeth once again welcome back the guests from the past
year to talk about what’s changed in fandom, on a global level, a
personal level, or both. Global topics included the recent crop of Hugo
winners, Marvel’s Secret Empire storyline, and the intersections between
fandom and U.S. politics. The more personal included the intersections
of fannish and professional identities and the experience of aging in
fandom. To round things out, Flourish and Elizabeth share their own
perspectives, discussing whether fandom ever really changes—or whether
it simply repeats the same patterns over and over again. (show notes coming soon | transcript coming soon)

Happy Anniversary Fansplaining! I’ve been listening to your podcast for about a year now (I think?) and also trying to get more into fandom again over the past year, and like, not direct causality, but hearing you both talk about fandom has been so inspiring and really helped me sort of… legitimize to myself that this is valid, and something I want to do with my time. And has also been so wonderful in terms of hearing about the broader fandom beyond my tumblr dashboard, which I really wouldn’t have otherwise. 

Thanks for all that you do, and here’s wishing you another wonderful year!!
