1. Geekstorians Episode 1: The Birth of Fandom
34:31||Season 1, Ep. 1In the first episode of Geekstorians, Dave from Geektown travels back to the early days of science fiction to explore how fandom really began. Long before Comic-Con and long before the internet, readers were already finding each other through magazine letter pages, homemade zines and the earliest fan clubs and meet-ups. These small creative communities laid the foundations for the fandoms we know today.The episode looks at how those early fans connected, how ideas spread around the world and how the first generation of sci-fi readers helped shape everything that came after. From the rise of pulp magazines to the birth of fan culture in the 1930s, it shows how passion, curiosity and a love of stories built the roots of modern geek culture.Geekstorians blends storytelling, research and sound design to uncover the often forgotten history behind the worlds we love. This is where the story of fandom begins.Along with Geekstorians popping up on the Geektown Radio feed, Geekstorians also has its own dedicated feed.
