Episode Notes

Ohmygosh, ohmygosh! We are freaking out about FANDOMS this week. The Winter Olympics are in full swing, the Super Bowl is just behind us, and costume & geek culture megafest Wicked Faire just went down—which has us thinking about the FANS. Listen to us shriek like tweens and beg for autographs FROM THE TRUTH! The guys wade into the worlds of sports fans, cosplayers, hardcore gamers and more to find what makes fans tick, and what makes them go BOOM!

We’ve got prize announcements from Kate Burners, SCIENCE! that makes mincemeat of the multiverse, special appearances by delirious, rapturous Super Bowl Night Dave and so much more you’re BOUND to scream for a Con devoted solely to…the WHIPAROUND!
