In Episode 117, "Fans and the Man," Elizabeth and Flourish talk about whether fandom really has "gone corporate" in the last decade—and if so, what parts of fandom, and in what ways? Topics covered include whether fans have "sold out," been exploited, or both; whether it's a good thing for fandom to be intertwined with corporations; and whether "curatorial" and "transformative" are even still useful terms to define fan cultures as we enter the '20s.
