Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #51: Pop Goes The Con

What happens when Q from Star Trek, Flash Gordon, Ace from Doctor Who, and a bunch of YouTubers are together in the same place? Find out in this week's Five(ish) Fangirls podcast as Rachel tells of her adventures at this year's Indy Pop Con. She'll tell you about the good, the bad, and the ugly; and maybe by the end you'll be talked into attending next year.

Plus we have a lot of news, including another passing of a Hollywood legend; a teaser for a fan favorite's return; and a lot of announcements from Marvel, San Diego Comic Con, several TV networks, Salt Lake Comic Con and Big Finish.

Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #49: Pursuing Your Dreams with Lou Mongello from WDW Radio

We have a very special episode of this week's Five(ish) Fangirls Podcast, as we are joined by Lou Mongello of WDW Radio. Hear Lou's story about how over the last 10 years, he's gone from being a lawyer in New Jersey, to taking his love of Disney and building it into a podcast, books, audio guides, even more. And if you know anything about Lou, the topic does turn to food quickly.
Also, no news this week as we wanted to focus on our talk with Lou, but we'll be back to our regular format with news next week.

Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #47: Mystery Actor Archive

We're doing things a little differently on this week's Five(ish) Fangirls podcast. Instead of planning ahead on what we're talking about, we're leaving it to chance and literally pulling it out a hat! What will happen? Just listen and find out!

Also it's another slow news week as fandoms take a short breather before summer hits, but we do have a few pieces including convention news, and a character confirmation from the folks over at Star Wars. Plus it's a new month and that means a new photo challenge and book for the Traveling the Vortex Book Club.
