410 A Brief History of Fandom

[mklutz]

This week we're joined by special guest Flourish who helps Merelyn and MK explain 'the good ol'days' and why they were actually HORRIFYING but now fill old-school fandom with nostalgia. We're talking Zines, APAs, Usenet, BBS, LJ, the Pit, the Great Purge, and a million other things you'll have to look up on Fanlore afterwards. We even get Flourish to make the sound of a 14.4 dial up modem. It's serious.

Get old school! Grab the episode here, and then you should follow us on Twitter for even more inanity during the week.
