In episode 167, "Our Secret Identities," Elizabeth and Flourish use a listener voicemail on pseudonyms as a springboard to talk about the many facets of fannish personas online. Topics discussed include the way pseudonymous norms vary in different fandom spaces, the effects of platform features like Tumblr's sideblogs or AO3's orphaned works, catfishing and other forms of digital abuse, and what "the right to be forgotten" means in a fandom context.
