History of Fankind
Jun. 15th, 2010 01:07 amOkay, so, now that I have something better than a keypad on a non-smartphone (a dumbphone?), I can actually expand on the previous post.
In the proposed podcast, I'd try to cover the history of fandom as a community. My initial probing shows that it goes back to the 1920s with science fiction fans. Over the course of the show, I'd like to detail things like the first science fiction conventions, the first WorldCon, etc. Along the way, I'd cover as many fandoms as possible and detail their histories. The way I'd mostly likely handle the show is break it down by topic, with each season covering either a fandom or, in the case of larger/older fandoms, like sci-fi or comics, a period of time. I'd like to have interviews on the show eventually. I'd record stuff while at cons, too.
