Interview Interaction: Life’s a Beach with Simon
I’m going to start out this blog post with a confession. I think I suck at being able to keep up with fandom and have thought that for quite awhile. Years ago, when I first noticed it, I blamed it on teaching. After all, who can check in with the world while they are in… Continue reading Interview Interaction: Life’s a Beach with Simon

If my memory serves correctly, we had met up in Las Vegas and it was one of those times that just worked out brilliantly. I… Continue reading Is He Having a Seizure?
Random Fandom: Acknowledgment

Back when the lockdowns in the US first started – at least here in California on the Central Coast – I started spending more and more time outside during the day.

Poll: How do you listen to Whooosh!?

On that particular program, Simon and Katy were explaining that if for some reason you didn’t want to hear them chat in between songs,… Continue reading Poll: How do you listen to Whooosh!?
