The Fandom Hybrid Podcast launched at the end of September 2020 and was born out of a love for talking about all things fandom. As a lifelong fangirl, I relish in any opportunity I am given to express my love (and sometimes dislike) for TV shows, movies and books, mainly in the science fiction, fantasy, and supernatural genres. As such, I have had the opportunity to write/blog for a number of different online outlets over the past few years. I am a former Examiner, having contributed to the Sci-Fi TV and Movies in Atlanta and Atlanta Geek Culture blogs (2011-2014); I was also the “Harry Potter Blogger” for Hollywood News (2010-2011). I have served as a panelist at Dragon Con for the past 14 years, and I have been podcasting for the last 15 years.

Harry Potter has been my primary fandom since I was introduced to it in 2005; my other current interests include - but are not limited to - the MCU (films and TV shows), The Walking Dead Universe, Outlander, AMC's Interview With the Vampire, House of the Dragon, The Wheel of Time (Amazon series), The Boys, and Stranger Things.

Past Favorites: Supernatural, Stargate SG-1, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Dark Angel, The Umbrella Academy, The Tudors, Caprica, 24, V: The Series, Camelot, Dracula, True Blood, Being Human (US), The Vampire Diaries Universe, Sleepy Hollow (pre-Season 4), Game of Thrones, Arrow, Into the Badlands, Orphan Black, Salem, and American Gods, A Discovery of Witches, and Shadow and Bone (book and Netflix show).

Favorite novel: The Stand by Stephen King.

Anthony is a lifelong, proud blerd with deep roots in fandom culture and a sharp eye for storytelling.

He’s been a contributor to the Sci-Fi Party Line Podcast, a writer for BlackGeekdom.com, and a video game reviewer for BlogCritics.org. His fandoms span galaxies and realms — from Star Wars, Star Trek, and Stargate to The Wheel of Time and Tolkien’s Middle-earth. When he’s not deep into a fantasy novel, he’s likely hiding somewhere watching reruns of Lucifer (again).

A lore lover, convention panelist, and pop culture philosopher, Anthony brings sharp insight, lived experience, and big fandom energy to every episode of the Fandom Hybrid Podcast. With a background in mythology and a passion for exploring how story shapes culture, he’s just as comfortable breaking down Aes Sedai politics as he is defending the Kelvin Timeline with swagger.

He’s also a future LPC committed to trauma-informed care for marginalized communities, especially Black men navigating grief, identity, and healing. His work blends the heart of a healer with the soul of a storyteller.

Still standing. Still shining. Still leveling up.

My fandom started with Star Wars, Six Million Dollar Man, and James Bond (yes, as an 8 year old I idolized Roger Moore. So what?) As I got older, I got into more stuff (Sesame Street, Scooby-Doo, Justice League, G- Force: Guardians of Space, Tom & Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, and Looney Tunes). These days, my fandom had expanded into works other than cartoons (Castle, Brooklyn Nine-9, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Leverage, etc.), but I still watch cartoons and I'm still into Sci-Fi/ Fantasy as well. I am always looking for something new to obsess over, so drop me a suggestion!

Kacey - Kacey joined the FHP family in March 2021 after being a guest on the episodes discussing The Walking Dead. Her fandoms - in no particular order - are The Walking Dead, The Marvel Universe, Black Panther, Transformers, Stranger Things and the Fast and the Furious franchise. She is a Danai Gurira and Tyrese Gibson superfan! Her favorite cosplay is (of course) Michonne. She loves action flicks, old school music, football, crafting, running her business and traveling.

My name is Michele and I’m obsessed with movies. The love of all kinds of movies started when we got our first cable box and VCR. I couldn’t get enough. My fandoms are Outlander, Stranger Things, MCU, Game of Thrones, sci-fi/fantasy, biographies, and any quality romantic movie with aspects of one of the following fantasy, sci-fi, historical, and especially time-travel. I always looking for new shows to obsess over and binge; however, you may find me watching old movies from the 80s and 90s.

I've been a proud sci-fi and fantasy geek as far back as I can remember. Whether it was classic Doctor Who on PBS or watching Empire Strikes Back on repeat, I've always been enamored with television and film. So much so I got my degree in film and video! I co-host the Drunk and Blerdy YouTube show with my husband where we discuss nerdy things and drink fun cocktails. I am also a longtime geek convention attendee and panelist. My biggest and best accomplishments are my game show appearances. I'm an extreme trivia lover and I love good competition!
