Feedback
We asked for one 80’s remake show that was bad and Lena responded with Jem and the Holograms
Ryan Green wants to become a Doctor Who fan but is a completionist and has a hard time with that
Lots of feedback on Facebook on our 150th episode, be sure to check it out at Facebook.com/FandomPodcast
William is impersonating Phoenix Wright and has an Objection! The phrase Harry Potter was not previously used. The previous word used was Harry. Despite everyone knowing it was a reference to Harry Potter the phrase Harry Potter was not used. Nik let the others call you out don’t do it to yourself!

Join the Fun
We’re doing another Funko Pop give away on Valentine’s Day and so sign up to be a patron at Patreon.com/FandomPodcast before then to enter to win.
Quick note on why we’re using patreon. While I would be lying to say that I didn’t want this podcast to become a primary income for the three of us, when not in the Fandomverse I try to live in reality. Patreon is a way (for the most part) that we can be in touch with the people who really listen and care. Podcast Reviews can be faked, downloads can be purchased, twitter and facebook can be manipulated but seeing you guys put your support behind a few of your fellow geeks is inspiring, and it’s really neat getting to know you as we interact.
If you’re listening and have been thinking about pledging but aren’t quite sure if you want to, reach out to us, and ask a question, fandom related or not we will answer it. We are on Facebook, Twitter and email.
