If you’re unaware, I don’t just put words down for Fandomania, but for a handful of sites. One of them is my music-centric one, Golden Mixtape. That’s where I came to know Bob Nanna (the lovely fellow on the right above). Our musical interview focused Read More

When the hell are we going to get to a month where I consider myself an “expert?” That’s a good question and the answer is: not yet, but it’s coming. I’d like to think I can put together an outfit if I tried and I really can dress others, but I would Read More

Verity! is a podcast that didn’t exist several years ago when I wrote the Doctor Who installment of my “Podcast Roundup,” but if it had I’m sure it would have been at the top of the list. In the year that it has been around, it Read More

This past weekend, Renninger’s Flea Market and Antique Center in Mount Dora, Florida hosted the Steampunk Industrial Show. Since Mount Dora is only about 30 minutes from Fandomania headquarters, we decided to go check it out! Read More
