Thank you for tuning in!  On today's episode, I am joined by Holly Swinyard, an expert on all things Fans and Fandom! Who knew that fandom and fan clubs/conventions date back hundreds of years?  Who knew it was because of dedicated fans that Sherlock Holmes got more books and Star Trek remained on TV?  We talk about all of that and more on this special episode!  Here are a few spots where you can find Holly:Their website:https://www.hollyswinyard.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/lilistprinceGet their new book - A History of Fans and Fandom A Journey into the Passion and Power of Fan CultureBuy local first if possible!Amazon link:  https://www.amazon.com/Fans-Fandom-Journey-Passion-Culture/dp/1399042831/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3OAPO803W71P5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.mH-nKKRbQrZtNTjrR9xX-f2_Lior5STJISlaM6DdueLaPNIYkLVIXIz2nsWl7uONNTJasxCg7fhjZWWYdE6ejK4SrNHWvy2Mv-pW6pakeb5G_Q83hWQXWu3fxskz-v5NarKzaya-LvgQ9QCWmDp_nziGR6CU3kze9BtkEllyKR_tbDlOdGrQylHcAOhCT_QvcleQSG9rq1Fmy4M4RyNzGjfoCoUMwRYT6OLGZ41SG-o.VDHlzVgLpetfQ7diERj-KW2coJ842POtWuPLCATcpy0&dib_tag=se&keywords=a+history+of+fans+and+fandom&qid=1714759466&sprefix=a+history+of+fans+and+fandom%2Caps%2C104&sr=8-1Support the Show.Visit: https://www.popcultureretrospective.com/ for all things Pop Culture Retrospective!
