From what the D20 tells us about storytelling in table top role playing games, to how Taylor Swift crafts her own narrative, to Love Island water bottles and the power of the celebrity, no fandom is off limits. We discuss the history, sociology and anthropology of our fandoms, and always have a bit of fun along the way. Hosted on Acast.

This episode, we talk about how the Babadook became a queer icon, why discussions of feminism lead to discussions around queer identities, and how horror is such a good facilitator to carry social commentary. We also have many random trails along the way, including the tv show Hannibal, Shape of Water, and Frankenstein.
