Tricia Discusses Year of the Fangirl on Star Wars Report
Last week Riley, Bethany, and Mark from Star Wars Report generously invited me to return to their podcast. Last summer Nanci from Tosche Station and I joined them to rave about the great fun to be had at Disney’s Star Wars Weekends. This time the topic was the recently launched Year of the Fangirl campaign from Her Universe. We talked about the origin of the campaign to feature fangirls daily throughout the year, dealing with online bullying, encouraging all the different kinds of ways fans experience their fandom, and the importance of building community to make everyone feel welcome in the fandom. Give the show a listen, and thanks again to Star Wars Report for having me on!
