  • 50 Days of Dragon Con 2025 – Day 44 – Alternate And Historical Fiction
    Aug 23 2025

    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

  • 50 Days of Dragon Con 2025 – Day 42 – Disability Services
    Aug 20 2025

    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.

  • 50 Days of Dragon Con 2025 – Day 40 – Urban Fantasy
    Aug 18 2025

    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.
