About this listen
In Episode 9 of Tales From The Brick, Jon (8 Bit Bricks) is joined by Maddie (BrickenMad), a LEGO builder and BrickFair staff member who shares her journey into the hobby and her perspective as an LGBTQ+ member of the LEGO community. Maddie talks about growing up around LEGO with four brothers, rediscovering the bricks during the pandemic, and how that rediscovery led to building travel-inspired MOCs, collecting modulars, and eventually sharing her creations online.
They also discuss Maddie’s time creating LEGO content on TikTok, how the platform and creator landscape have changed over the years, and the welcoming nature of the LEGO community for builders of all backgrounds. The episode touches on inclusive communities like AFOL Gals and Pals and GayFOL, the experience of attending and working at BrickFair, and the creativity that comes from building for fun—including the viral moment when Maddie’s cat turned the LEGO Colosseum into the world’s most expensive cat bed.
