ABOUT US
Nick, Michael, and Ben are three best friends who have been hanging out and talking about all things nerdy for over a decade.
Though they could sit and talk with just the three of them for hours on end, they know there are many fandoms out there that one or more of them know little about – and so they decided to start a podcast where they could have friends and other guests on to talk about anything and everything they enjoy.
Fandom Of Fandoms is an hour-long podcast where you can hear about what fans love most about their fandom: How they got into it, why it's so important to them, the hot topics those inside the fandom debate over, and much more! Join us for a discussion on a fandom you know and love, or dip a toe into something you don't know much about!
