On This Episode
Every Hero has its origin story. But so does every fan! We all have the first moment when we fall in love with a fandom and why these fandoms are so important to us. On this episode of the Temple Of Geek Podcast, host Monica talks with the on of the editors of Why I Geek Clay Dockery about this beautiful collection of Fandom Origin Stories.
Those of us who are “geeks” have all been asked by a co-worker or family member “How can you spend that much time talking about Doctor Who?,” “Why do you waste so much money on collecting Star Wars stuff?,” and best of all, “If you focused all of that energy that you spend on Star Trek onto something important, imagine what you could accomplish!”
WHY I GEEK: An Anthology of Fandom Origin Stories is a book you can put into the hands of those well-meaning people in our lives to explain why we do what we do.Including fandom origin stories about: Baseball, Bob Dylan, Breaking Bad, Doctor Who, Fan Fiction, Harry Potter, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Musical Theatre, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Period Dramas, Professional Wrestling, Ragman, Stand-Up Comedy, Star Trek, Star Wars, Supernatural, Twin Peaks, The West Wing, The X-Files. Cover art by the amazing Jennifer Drucker. Featuring a foreword by Davros himself, Terry Molloy!
