The Future of Science Fiction Conventions
About this episode
The episode discusses the evolution and future of science fiction conventions, exploring how they can adapt to modern times.
We love science fiction and fantasy conventions — especially the ones that are run by fans, for fans. But they haven't changed much since the 1970s in many ways, and the world has moved on.
