Chew on peri-peri chicken with Octothorpe's John Coxon and Alison Scott as we discuss the many first-time Eastercon attendees I encountered who were there due to their podcast, Nando's place in British culture and why it was chosen to be our venue for this episode, what they're willing to reveal about cohost Liz Batty in her absence, how the coming of COVID-19 kickstarted the creation of Octothorpe, why they didn't launch an old-school fanzine instead, how the first episode wasn't even originally intended to be the first episode, why we're still here considering 90% of podcasts don't make it past three episodes, how to comment responsibly on fandom while being a part of fandom, the reason their letters of comment section is so important, what changed about the show once they realized people were actually listening, advice for those who'd like to start podcasts of their own, plus much more.
