If you saw that title and you're chomping at the bit to get listening, and can hardly rein in your excitement, then you're in the right place. So hop on a rainbow, make sure you've packed your bag full with friendship, loyalty, trust, and honesty, and join us on an express journey to Equestria!

Ray teaches Rob about the history of fandoms, and the specific origins of the Brony subculture within the My Little Pony-verse; how the Internet and anonymous image boards were instrumental in its rise; what Star Wars the Black Series and Twilight Sparkle have in common; the staggering number of celebrities who have also galloped through the Ponyverse; and how this surprising and heartwarming fandom can remind all of us to resist cynicism and embrace joy.
