About this listen

Fandoms aren’t just about celebrities or fictional characters—they’re emotional homes where we process feelings, celebrate obsession, and find community through shared passion.

In this episode, Lisa and Josh dive into the world of fandom culture—from cosplay and gaming to music and underdog stories:

• Are you a casual fan or a full-blown Swiftie?
• How cosplay helps people embody resilience and identity
• Celebrities who love their fans vs those who set hard boundaries
• Enduring fandoms like Supernatural, Buffy, The Walking Dead
• The emotional power of music fandoms and indie rap’s raw storytelling
• Gaming loyalty from League of Legends to Final Fantasy
• What causes fan burnout (and how creators lose us)
• Weekly What If: What if you had a fandom?
• Regret of the Week: Missing the Eras Tour

“At its core, fandom is just a way of saying: this thing mattered to me, and I wanted someone else to feel it too.”
