The feed says "en" without a region, so the country is unknown.

Where it's from

Not established

No .uk domain and no region in the feed language. Apple reports the storefront, not the show, so we do not guess.

Reach

91

Percentile among shows you could realistically get on. Not a download count.

Check whether they charge. Some shows sell guest slots rather than booking them, and rates in some fields run to thousands. Nothing in a podcast feed reliably says so, so we do not claim either way. Ask before you write the pitch.

Worth a pitch. This show publishes its own contact, sits outside the national chart, is independently published, and its recent episodes show it books guests.

How this show compares to other culture & arts podcasts

Guests appear here occasionally rather than weekly, though still more than the Culture & Arts average. Worth a pitch, with patience.

Measured against every culture & arts podcast in the directory that has published in the last year.

	This show	Category average
Episodes featuring a guest	25%	15%
Episodes in the last 90 days	19	11
Typical episode length	74 min	46 min
Episodes published in total	197	156
Reach percentile	91	50

Reach is a percentile among shows you could realistically get booked on, built from chart history, longevity, activity and cadence. It is not a download figure. Nobody outside a show can see those.

What the show says about itself

A podcast about why fandom matters. Co-hosted by V. Arrow and Emily Jaye, This Week In Fandom History celebrates fandom culture's highest highs and weirdest lows. With which short-lived vampire cop drama was the very first X-Files fanfiction crossed over? Who is Tara Gilesbie? How recently did the Starsky & Hutch Lending Library rent out its last zine? What were Strikethrough, Racefail, LGBTFansDeserveBetter, and Conchobar, anyway? V and Emily trade off some deep-internet research each week to learn and laugh (and sometimes rage) their way through the annals of fandom history. Come join us!
