Gateleapers: A Fandom Gameshow

Gotta Leap 'Em All

This is the (edited) audio from our first ever live stream. Thank you so much to everyone who joined us for the live broadcast. And if you couldn't make it? Here it is as a podcast.

We leap back into the world of Pokemon, for a series of games and challenges about those lovable little creatures. For what is, weirdly, our filthiest episode in quite some time. 

Our players this episode are Drew Shulman, Aidan Watson and our OG Captains in Audra Stephenson and Jason Nguyen!

Audra Stephenson is our resident Gateleapers Captain, a STEM girlie, an incredibly supportive partner and a best friend.

Audra shares her highly specific early fandom obsessions. We discuss if Chrsistianity is a fandom, and how it alligned with Greek Mythology, her other teen-brain obsession. And we learn just how much The Lord of the Rings has impacted Audra's life.

Our players this episode are Aaron Randolph, Drew Shulman and our OG Captains in Audra Stephenson and Jason Nguyen!

Listen to BFYTW - A Panel Show Podcast

A very special bonus episode for you while we're away on vacation! Back in March, Audra and Matt joined Aaron, Stevie and Augie of BFYTW - For a series of games and challenges about Game Shows... So meta!

Aaron hosted a Gateleapers style episode, that is a homage (not parody!) to what we do here at Gateleapers. Aaron was a fantastic gamesmaster, but Matt wasn't quite so good at being a player... Something something power dynamics. 

This was such a fun time, with some of our favorite people we've met through podcasting, and we hope you have as much fun listening as we did playing.


We'll be back in two weeks with a brand new gameshow. Remember to put September 21st @ 6pm EST in your calendar for our first livestreamed episode. See you there Leapfrogs!

We Leap back in time to 1985, then 1955, then 2015, then 1955 AGAIN, and then 1885. That's right, we're going back to the past for a series of games and challenges in the world of Back to the Future.

If you leave a Gate open on a public nature trail, that is NO GOOD!

We Leap into the totally radical and 90s-chic world of Sonic the Hedgehog. It's all games and laughs in this nostalgic race through the world of 2D platformers, critters with guns and DeviantArt. But it's all about the rainbow of animals, an evil mechanist and the dream to dare to go fast. You gotta.
