What is Fandom?
Description
The end of season three is probably the best time to finally confront an all important question: what actually is fandom? How do we define this strange thing? Is it even possible? We chat about the history of the word and idea, take a little side path down an explanation of cultural evolutionary anthropology, and end with a big 'ol question of whether we can actually ever get away from some of the problematic ideas we have.
Some stuff:
Holly briefly mentioned Vivian's pool analogy, so it's here if you're interested
