The Fandom Show Podcast

Dust off your vinyls and get ready to have your mind blown, because we’re talking to die-hard music nerd, comedian and radio personality, Miguel Rivas (he/him), about the biggest band you’ve never heard of; XTC. Learn about this Talking Heads-esque band that, due to wild and tragic circumstances, exerted a Forrest Gump level of historical influence on music without ever making it big. Plus, British class differences, the invention of gated reverb, hyper-specific cover bands, how to ruin your children’s musical taste, and why you NEVER EVER EVER quit Va**um cold turkey (EVER!).

Martin’s lore, bosses that have never known defeat, sexy moons, deadly golden hippos, an incredibly dedicated online community, and why you should always call Grandpa for help.

You asked for it, now here it is. It’s time to crack open The Colour of Magic and prepare to be whisked (or should I say…Disc’d?) away, because this week we’re talking to podcaster, performer and practicing witch, Brett Seivwright (he/him), about his lifelong love for TERRY PRATCHETT. We talk about Pratchett’s unique approach to writing, the setting of Discworld, his legendary hat, fakes news predictions, Death’s Twitter account and how to conclude your forty-one book series in style. Plus, the time he absolutely schooled J.K. Rowling and some needed context on his (now controversial) collaboration with Neil Gaiman.
