The Fandom Files

A podcast about people who really, really love stuff — and the people who make that stuff. We dive into the world of geek fan culture, interviewing both devoted fans and creators about their favorite comics, movies, TV shows, and how they celebrate them. From famous filmmakers to fan fiction writers, and celebrities to cosplayers, we are like a weekly Comic-Con party for your ears. Follow us on Twitter: @FandomFilesSYFY.

Plus, we talk about Sonic's feet! (Here's Emily's story, which we reference frequently.) All this and more in this episode of The Fandom Files! Follow us on Twitter: @FandomFilesSYFY!
