  • A fun exploration of fandom

    How did I only discover this podcast this year? At least I get to binge on old episodes! It’s a fun exploration of all things fandom that brings in both professionals in the field and fan listeners with insightful questions.

  • Great topics!

    Have followed this podcast for years and I love it. They have thoughtful conversations on an array of fanfic topics. My only complaint is Elizabeth’s treatment of Flourish. She sometimes comes off as extra critical of Flourish and seems to have developed some animosity towards them over the years that’s off-putting.

It's a great podcast and I can't recom... more

  • Favorite Podcast

    I’m a big fan of podcasts as a form of media, but Fansplaining also hits that special sweet spot of talking genuinely about fandom and being able to connect with different parts of it, even those I don’t normally interact with.
