It all began with a listener email. A simple question. What Tumblr fandom would be best to study for a school project? It should have had a simple answer. But dozens of data points, a 20-fandom bracket, and many vibe checks later, and the answer turned out to not be so simple. In order to help a listener, Cher and Lauren look at the top 20 fandoms on Tumblr and try to scientifically and unscientifically determine the most interesting one for scholarship. Is it the enormous BTS? The long-standing Supernatural? The wild card Sims 4? The answer may-- well, actually, the answer probably won't surprise you, but the journey will be fun. We promise.

It is time. Time to travel back in time. The date? July 11th, 2014. The place? Schaumburg, Illinois. The event? Dashcon. What was this now infamous convention like to experience first hand? We get two former Tumblr employees and Dashcon survivors on to talk about their time at the Renaissance Hotel.

We are entering the fourth and final act of 2022, so now is the time to reflect on the silliness so far and look ahead to what we have coming up in the next few months that will inevitably put us into the throes of obsession. Also a brief visit to the more distant past featuring the downfall of a certain beloathed children's author and the more joyous bongo possum.
