I had an amazing opportunity to chat with the hosts of Merlisten, a podcast about the BBC show Merlin! I drilled them on everything from their personal experiences in fandom, fandom "jargon" and activities, the history behind the Merlisten podcast, and the implications and significance of participating in online (and offline) communities of fellow followers of creative content. This was a special episode for me because Merlisten was one of the first podcasts that pulled me into the podcasting world; I love their show and even was a guest on a couple of episodes there. So much more valuable, geeky content was lost on the "cutting room floor," but we have successfully condensed the 4 hours of recorded audio into a bit over an hour for everyone to enjoy!
