Cracks in the Fandom — Part 3 (Edited Copyright Cut)PRETEND: Stories about real people pretending to be someone they're not Michelle Ivey has been painted as the villain. Meghan Walsh calls her a stalker, a criminal, a threat to her life. She's warned not to contact her. But in this episode, I do just that. I talk to Michelle. And what I find is something very different from the unhinged boogeyman Meghan has described for years. What if Michelle isn't stalking anyone at all? What if she's just a fan? In Part 3, the story begins to fracture. Meghan's claims get louder. But her evidence starts to slip. And the people she says are targeting her… start to speak up. This is the extended version of the episode. If you're listening now on Patreon or Pretend+, I'd love to know what you think. Is this story about stalking, delusion, or something else entirely?

Ten years ago, Bryan Young did an exhaustive multi-part story about the NPR Star Wars Radio Dramas for Star Wars Insider Magazine, but so much of the interviews that were conducted had to be left on the cutting room floor. One of the best was with Tom Voegeli. From the Full of Sith Archives, Bryan presents this interview with the post-production supervisor for all three Star Wars radio dramas producer by National Public Radio.
This week, we're pulling back the curtain on one of fandom's favorite pastimes, the endless swirl of leaks, scoops, and “totally confirmed” rumors that flood the internet every single day. Where do they come from? Why do they spread? And when does fun speculation turn into toxic noise that actually hurts the movies and shows we love? We'll break down how studios sometimes use leaks to build hype, how fan theories can snowball into “insider reports,” and the ways bad information can derail productions, spoil surprises, or crush expectations. It's part media literacy lesson, part nerd therapy session and a reminder that sometimes, the biggest blockbuster drama doesn't happen on screen. Plus, Peacemaker finale, what's hot and all the regular shenanigans this week on the House of Gozer Podcast.

This week, we invited our listeners to weigh in on one of the most polarizing moments in Throne of Glass: Rowan punching Aelin. The reactions were intense — some fans defended it as “in-character” or “a product of the world,” while others, like us, questioned what it means when violence against women is treated as acceptable within fantasy storytelling. Through an academic lens, we unpack how Sarah J. Maas uses this moment to explore trauma, trust, and transformation — and whether the narrative truly holds Rowan accountable. Is this scene a reflection of a brutal world, or does it risk normalizing harm in the name of character development? Join us as we discuss moral complexity, fan discourse, and how love interests in Romantasy are often written to test the line between power and partnership. We love to dive into a Throne of Glass analysis centered on one of the series' most divisive moments — the Rowan Whitethorn debate. Through an in-depth Aelin Galathynius character study, we explore how Sarah J. Maas uses their relationship to navigate themes of trust, trauma, and power. This Romantasy podcast episode doesn't shy away from tough questions about fantasy relationship dynamics and how violence in fantasy books can both reflect and challenge real-world ideas of love and accountability. Join us as we unpack the latest BookTok discourse around these characters and continue the larger Sarah J. Maas discussion shaping the fandom today The Subtext Society Journal: https://thesubtextsocietyjournal.substack.com/ We're thrilled to announce our newest venture: The Subtext Society Journal—the first of its kind, dedicated to Romance, Romantasy, and fandom with an academic yet accessible voice.

You know what Teen Wolf needs more of? Lore.In 3×17, "Silverfinger," we flash back in time to Chris Argent's first real gun deal, learning he's had more experience with the Oni than anyone expected. The Argent side of the McCall pack look to find an old contact named Katashi, who may have Very Important Lore And Information. In return, Chris plans to give him an old French rifle… which turns out to be a weapon used to murder a werewolf (huh, I wonder if that'll come back later).Meanwhile, the McCall side of the McCall pack is trying to protect Scott from getting attacked by the Oni, and it's going swimmingly. Stiles is exhibiting all kinds of anxiety-inducing behavior, startlingly similar to a list of symptoms exhibited by his now-dead mother.Agent McCall threatens the Sheriff and ends up with a gnarly shoulder wound (unrelated), Stiles checks himself into the hospital and ends up calling Melissa "mom" (unrelated), and, when approached by the Oni, Stiles seems to be the only one who can stop it before it draws the kanji on his head.Weird.

Meghan Walsh says she is being stalked by three people. One of them is Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay. Sounds impossible, right? But she's not the only one saying it. In this episode, we meet Lauren. She claims to be the biological mother of Mariska's adopted daughter. Her story begins with a supposed secret adoption, and spirals into accusations of betrayal and abandonment. Lauren says the actress is not just stalking her, but working behind the scenes to silence anyone who challenges her. Meghan believes her. To her, Lauren is the missing piece that proves her own story is real. But the more we dig, the harder it becomes to separate truth from delusion. Is this the beginning of a deeper conspiracy? Or just another internet rabbit hole? This extended version includes additional narration and soundbites not available in the public edit. Let me know what you think of the series so far.

Long before the internet brought fans together, the Star Trek community thrived through newsletters, potlucks, and passionate word of mouth. This week, The Trek Files celebrates the 50th anniversary of the United Federation of Phoenix (UFP), the longest-running independent Star Trek fan club, with guest Dr. David Williams, UFP member and Arizona State University planetary scientist. Using a 1975 Arizona Republic article as our time capsule, we look back at how a group of Arizona fans kept the Trek spirit alive in the years between the show's cancellation and its cinematic rebirth. From screening parties and fan films to homemade uniforms and sci-fi socials, UFP didn't just preserve the legacy, it expanded it. Dave and Larry explore the roots of early fandom, the transition from stamps to screens, and why clubs like UFP still thrive after half a century of community-building.

What does it take to turn a race brand into a global lifestyle movement? Why is Ironman focused not just on being the biggest, but also the most loved brand in endurance sports? And, as technology, access, and expectations shift, what will it feel like to stand on an Ironman start line in 2035?Also in this episode: how Ironman is doubling down on emotional connection, and storytelling to fuel long-term growth, and what lessons endurance events can learn from Taylor Swift fandom, Formula 1 drama, and NBA player-driven narratives.

Life is ever-moving, ever-changing. A weave of dreams and nightmares, the grotesque and the great. You might want to look cool, but it is not about how you appear. It is about what you live for and who you choose to fight for.A moment of rest can grant the gift of reunion, a chance to break bread and reflect on the paths that led here, and on stories shaped by fear, by loss, and by the desire to protect.Yet there is warmth in stories, in remembering who came before and in daring to paint the image of what comes next. While the paint of the past might still be wet, the colour of adventure is never finished. There is still so much to discover, if you can be strong enough to save those you love.Natural Six are Harry McEntire, Doug Cockle, Ben Starr, Hollie Bennett, Alex Jordan, and Aoife Wilson.Support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/naturalsixJoin our Discord! https://discord.gg/HNV56DADnJFollow us on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/naturalsixFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natural_sixFollow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@natural.sixLove lore?

AI hype has been loud for three years, but most leaders still tell me the real work begins after the demo. That was the starting point for my conversation with Christina Ellwood, co-founder of AI Realized, a community built to help enterprises move from pilots to production with less noise and more results. Christina has a calm, practical way of explaining why progress has accelerated from a tiny fraction of companies in production to roughly one in five this year, and why many of the remaining blockers have little to do with model choice and everything to do with people, policy, and permission to ship. We talk about the messy middle between a proof of concept and a live service that customers can rely on. According to Christina, the most complex problems are organizational. Teams need upskilling, guardrails, and clear deployment guidelines to ensure effective execution. Legal and brand risk create hesitation. Boards want more substantial evidence and better controls. That is where leadership shows up in a very human way. The skill she hears most often from successful program leads is humility. No one knows everything here, and the leaders who admit that, invite challenge, and keep learning are the ones getting to value without creating chaos. I loved her point that cross-organisational leadership is fast becoming the hidden superpower as AI connects systems and workflows that used to sit in separate silos. We also look forward to the 2025 AI Realized Summit, scheduled for November 5 in San Francisco. Attendance is intentionally capped at 500 to maintain high-quality conversation and genuine networking. Expect Fortune 2000 use cases across multiple industries, a healthy mix of predictive and generative work, and practical talk on small language models, multi-model strategies, and running models inside your security perimeter. Eric Siegel will keynote on combining predictive analytics with generative techniques, and you will hear from executives at companies including Amazon, Audible, Red Hat, and Zscaler. Christina highlights one example from Fandom that combines predictive ad targeting with generative tools to enhance brand safety and suitability, a trend I expect to see repeated throughout the day. If you are leading AI programs and need fewer slogans and more proof, this episode will feel like a deep breath. We explore how to move faster while staying responsible, why smaller and multi-model setups are gaining traction, and how to build confidence with your board without overpromising.
