Fannish history podcast!
Hey, for anyone who was interested in the ebook on Zine history I recently posted about, I have something else you might enjoy. Slashcast's latest episode is called Back to School/Old School and has an excellent discussion on slash history - from zines to mailing lists to Livejournal to AO3. They touch on everything from different fandoms (Star Trek: The Original Series, The Professionals, X-Files, Harry Potter, Lotrips, and Supernatural) to different topics (underage sex, bdsm, rps, ship wars, and the move from dial-up internet to high speed internet). It was really interesting to listen to.
ETA: The part I'm referring to is the Meta Discussion, though the whole episode was fun.
