It's All Fandom!

i found this podcast because i started 2023 by watching the untamed for the first time and had no one to talk to about it, which was distressing because the show literally gave me chest pains and made me go insane. 🙃naturally i searched for every podcast episode about the untamed/mdzs i could find and listened to them all, to get that sweet sweet reciprocity and elation that comes when sharing a devotion with other humans. and i really enjoyed the two episodes from this podcast about it! especially when aja made ally start crying because of wangxian!! big same. the world kept spinning and so did my brain about mdzs so eventually i relistened to all the podcast episodes i had previously found (which means i was really down bad, i never relisten to podcasts, especially so soon). after relistening to the it’s all fandom ones, i saw black sails was a past topic and wondered if i could peep my head out of the mdzs rabbit hole for some of my favorite pirates. i did it and i really loved it and decided i liked it enough to listen to ally talk about other fandoms too (and become elated when she sprinkled in something about mdzs). first i started with the topics i personally enjoyed but then i kept listening because i liked it so much! some of my favorite episodes have been about topics i haven’t seen myself (which surprised me)! i am a lifelong lurker and while i have gotten to share in fandoms offline with my sister/friends, it’s been so nice to hear about so many different fandom experiences! i love ally as a host i think she is funny, thoughtful, and kind. i love when she’s interviewing her friends because you can hear that connection/banter! but i also love when she interviews someone she’s not met before because she treats them with so much respect and interest. i also like her voice which is important for a podcast. i’m thankful to have found mdzs and the it’s all fandom podcast this year and i highly recommend it!

Ah, this show is so great! I LOVED the MDZS episodes and I can’t wait to listen to more great fandom content :)

This show has people who’ve been involved in fandom spaces or are really into a specific movie, TV show, book, etc. come on and talk about it. It’s a lot of fun! Ally, the host, is really engaging and thoughtful. I started out listening to a few episodes on things I’m into myself, but then went back to listen to others because it’s really enjoyable to hear people talk about their fannish experiences and journeys and just share their excitement about the art that moves them with others. Highly recommend if you’re into that!
