Description
In I'm A Fan of That, pop culture writer Holly Swinyard and pop anthropologist Vivian Asimos talk about the wonderfully complicated worlds of fandom through the objects we love. From what the D20 tells us about storytelling in table top role playing games, to how Taylor Swift crafts her own narrative, to Love Island water bottles and the power of the celebrity, no fandom is off limits. We discuss the history, sociology and anthropology of our fandoms, and always have a bit of fun along the way.
