The Kids’ Track is about more than just keeping kids busy - it’s about families geeking out together. From fort-building to dance parties to Bluey meet-and-greets, we want kids to feel like Dragon Con belongs to them too.

In this episode, Jon and Leigh sit down with track director Jonathan to explore the wide range of programming designed for families.

Jon and Leigh chat with Liz, the director of the Alternate & Historical Fiction Track, where imagination collides with history.

From dissecting the historical accuracy of Outlander, Bridgerton, and The Gilded Age, to celebrating 10 years of Tea Duels and the delightfully absurd Splendid Teapot Racing, this track is a fan-favorite blend of fact, fiction, and fun.

'We added historical fiction so it’s not just history that never happened - it’s also real history you might not know. And then, of course, we throw in tea duels, catillions, and teapot races. Because it’s Dragon Con... why not?' - Liz

If Dragon Con is your kind of happy chaos, Disability Services is the part that keeps it manageable.

In this episode, Alex and Todd explain how to get an assessment, what the sticker system covers (seat‑in‑line/end‑of‑row, wheelchair seating, proximity, sightline), safe‑spaces for service dogs, and the medical tag.

They also outline realities in the big rooms: line caps with tickets, one companions, and a focus on getting you in the room.

In this episode, Jon and Leigh are joined by track director Carol, who takes us on a tour of what’s in store for the Urban Fantasy Track at Dragon Con this year.

Urban fantasy is about taking the real world and adding the supernatural, magic, creatures, the unexpected. It could be a panel about vampire lore, a fairy tale retelling, or live bands. It’s where reality and fantasy crash together.

Jon and Leigh are joined by the one-and-only Eternal Zan, a fan-favorite resource and longtime Dragon Con attendee who has been helping attendees navigate the con for years.

You can plan everything down to the minute, but Dragon Con is going to throw you a curveball. The trick isn’t to fight it - it’s to lean into the chaos and make those surprise moments part of your story.

Jon and Leigh suit up with Karen and James from Dragon Con’s Military Sci-Fi Media Track to talk about all the out-of-this-world programming coming in 2025.

They started as the Stargate track, but as Military Sci-Fi fandom’s grew - so have they.

Covering Babylon 5, Firefly, The Orville, Halo… and so much more!

Jon and Leigh welcome Beau Brown and Brodrick Jones for an inside look at the Puppetry Track.

Some of the best Dragon Con memories happen off the con floor - sharing a peach cobbler at Mary Mac’s or riding the Ferris Wheel with a bunch of Jedi.

In this episode, Jon and Leigh chat with Dr. Vaughn, assistant director of the Dragon Con Science Track. Vaughn literally wrote his PhD dissertation on Dragon Con.

“We turn science into a shared fandom. It’s weird. It’s messy. And it’s beautiful.”

Sue from the Science Fiction Literature Track joins Leigh and Jon to unpack the galactic smorgasbord of panels, authors, and literary nerdery headed to Dragon Con 2025. This year’s spotlight is on military science fiction, but as Sue explains, that’s just a launchpad into a multiverse of storytelling styles - from hard science to space fantasy.
