Episode 8: One True Fandom
In this episode, we answer the question "What is fandom?" Topics covered include whether "fandom" implies "community," the Buffalo Bills' sad-sack Superbowl record, whether transformative works are really central to fandom as we think of it, and rock fans... not rock n' roll, geodes.
We score an episode from what we can actually measure — its reach and engagement, what listeners say about it, and what it covers. We don't have those signals for this one yet, so it doesn't get a number.
Buzzmeter says it's buzzing across platforms — the Hive Vote says whether the people who actually listened liked it.
