Arrow (@aimmyarrowshigh) and Emily Jaye (@idontgettechnology), This Week In Fandom History celebrates fandom culture's highest highs and weirdest lows. With which short-lived vampire cop drama was the very first X-Files fic crossed over? Who is Tara Gilesbie? How recently did the Starsky & Hutch Lending Library rent out its last zine? What were Strikethrough, Racefail, LGBTFansDeserveBetter, and Conchobar, anyway? V and Emily trade off some deep-internet research each week to learn and laugh (and sometimes rage) their way through the annals (heh) of fandom history. Come join us!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-23T14:19:11.065289+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/this-week-in-fandom-history-5965825"},"episode":{"title":"February 11, 2017: The Soulmate Goose of Enforcement Trope Is Introduced","slug":"february-11-2017-the-soulmate-goose-of-enforcement-trope-is-introduced","published_at":"2026-02-25T12:40:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/this-week-in-fandom-history-5965825/february-11-2017-the-soulmate-goose-of-enforcement-trope-is-introduced","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/this-week-in-fandom-history-5965825","url":"https://76a49ef2-e1b1-459f-8787-81e0d39866fc.libsyn.com/february-11-2017-the-soulmate-goose-of-enforcement-trope-is-introduced","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/76a49ef2-e1b1-459f-8787-81e0d39866fc/Aup_Mixdown_Episode_151_SoulmateGeese.mp3?dest-id=3814896","summary":"It is a soulmate AU, and you are a horrible goose!
