1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: Give Technology with tex Stuff from Hey there, and welcome

2
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: to a very special episode of tech Stuff. I'm your host,

3
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: Jonathan Strickland. I am live at Speak Easy in Austin,

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: Texas during South By South Southwest Interactive two thousand sixteen,

5
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: and sitting with me is Emma Logins, someone also who

6
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: lives in Atlanta, someone that I've been I've known because

7
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: we're friends with the same people circles. We've never really

8
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: interacted directly that much until now, and I'm questioning why,

9
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: because Emma, you run an amazing blog that's science fiction

10
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: fantasy fan base fan Bolt. I want you to tell me.

11
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: I have so many questions for you about about running

12
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: a blog. I mean, blogs are something that we're all

13
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: familiar with. We know what they are, we know how

14
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: long they've been around. But they're so many challenges to

15
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: creating a good one, more challenges to finding your audience,

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: being able to nurture that audience grow a community. So

17
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: to start off, why don't you first tell us, kind

18
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: of in your words, what fan bolt is all about? Okay, Um, Well,

19
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: fan Bolt is a kind of block of the line

20
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: between blog and news site because it is it's a

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: site by the fans for the fans. So all the

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: content is very editorial in nature. UM focuses mainly on

23
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: genre programming in genre film, so a lot of sci

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: fi or UM type properties that we review. We have

25
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: a little bit of gaming on there as well, and

26
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of just kind of general geek culture.

27
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: We're getting ready to do this whole like big geek

28
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: travel thing, so when you go to other countries and

29
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: you want to see UM sets that were used in

30
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings or UM, you know, Game of Thrones,

31
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: like where you would go, so kind of like a

32
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: geek travel guide. UM. So it's all about geek culture

33
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: and UM the fan community behind that, and we've had

34
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: a number is on the site that have been there

35
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: since we launched in two thousand and two and we

36
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: still you know, they still posted the site and we

37
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: still talk, you know, almost daily. So the fan community

38
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: aspect of that has been really the driving force behind it.

39
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: That's amazing. So first of all, I've got a tip

40
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: for you. Okay, So on the island of Malta, they

41
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: still have the village from the film Popeye that Robin

42
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: Williams started asked Popeye, they filmed it there. It is

43
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: still there. Yeah, so I know it's still as genre

44
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: some of the other movies, but if you want to

45
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: see Sweet Haven, it exists on Malta. So uh, I

46
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: want to ask you about what inspired you to get

47
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: involved in this in the first place. What led to

48
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: the development of fan bolt Well, I was a total

49
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: outcast nerd in Meddle school and um, granted it didn't

50
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: start fan Bolts until I was a senior in high school. Um,

51
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: but that kind of got me involved in really just

52
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: like so much gey culture. And then once you know,

53
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: we had the Internet and we hadn't in our house

54
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: and I had I had, you know, it wasn't dealing

55
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: with dial up and getting knocked off line every four seconds. Um.

56
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: I started playing around with designing websites in the late

57
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: nineties and then I was just I was super I

58
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: was super passionate about the shows that I was watching,

59
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: and I didn't really feel like there was a good

60
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: place online to really come together. And you know, because

61
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: as pre social media, so where do you go to

62
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: talk about the shows that you love and the theories

63
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: that you have and you know, um, what you think

64
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: is gonna happen? Spoilers photos from set like all that

65
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: kind of fun insider stuff. UM, but I was also

66
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: living in Georgia didn't know how to get any of

67
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: that myself anyways. UM, But I started the site and

68
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: started the fan community, and uh, you know, we would

69
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: have people that would just like flood onto the side

70
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: after an episode would air, and we even would have

71
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: people coming in from productions that would kind of stay

72
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: anonymous and like give us little tips. UM. So we

73
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: had a lot of really cool insider stuff on there

74
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: in the beginning to UM, which really fostered the community

75
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: and my whole I guess, my whole kind of strategy

76
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: with it initially was it was a message board community,

77
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: and then I built these other kind of satellite sites

78
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: around it for the different TV shows which had a

79
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: strong fan base. That way, when one show ended, I

80
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: didn't just totally lose that entire fan base that I

81
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: had spent four years building. UM. So that worked out

82
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: really well from an SEO component to being able to UM.

83
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: There was a number of shows that we actually ranked

84
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: above the official site for and so we would get

85
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, eight thousand people on after an episode and

86
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: back in you know, two thousand to two thousand three.

87
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: That's a pretty big. I thought it was a big deal.

88
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if those numbers would be that big

89
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: of a deal now by any stretch, but it was

90
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: something really cool. I had no idea what I was doing,

91
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: and it just opened up so many doors and so

92
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: many opportunities. And I guess the real kind of big

93
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: breakthrough of it. Um Josh Schwartz, the Crater of the

94
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: o C found my site in two thousand and five

95
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: and um and of course O C, which aired on Fox,

96
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: was produced by Warner Brothers, and he told Warner Brothers

97
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: he wanted me to run their official site for the series,

98
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: and so I did that. I was their blogger with

99
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: them for three years until the series ended, and I

100
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: really just tried to make the most out of every

101
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: contacts and connection that I got through that. And then

102
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: I realized, oh, I can, like I can actually do this.

103
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: You know, this is not just a hobby, Like I can,

104
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: I can make a business out of us. Now you

105
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: mentioned that you were able to turn this into a business,

106
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: which is really interesting as phenomenal, So congratulations on that,

107
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: because you know, I mean, the blog of sphere is huge.

108
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: A lot of people run blogs as a hobby. They

109
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: do it as a passion project. So tell me about

110
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: the steps you took moving something that was already obviously

111
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: something you really cared about, but something that you could

112
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: actually make into a business, a legitimate way to earn

113
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: a living. It took a long time. Um. When people

114
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: always asked me about how how I've made money off

115
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,559
Speaker 1: of the site and how I've kind of structured things,

116
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: I always tell people like, if you're not really passionate

117
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: about something, then don't do it, because it's gonna take

118
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: a long time before you make money off of it,

119
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: and it's gonna feel like work, and you may end

120
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: up hating something that you know, in the beginning you loved.

121
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: So you have to be really really passionate about it.

122
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: And making money I don't think can be something that

123
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: you even consider in the beginning. Um, it needs to

124
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: just be a labor of love and a passion project.

125
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: And then when when all the kind of little pieces

126
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: start to fall into place, you start seeing that you're

127
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: building traction um and and you know you have great

128
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: content and you're you're getting great traffic, and then start

129
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: off with the baby steps and monetizing with like Google AdSense,

130
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: and then working your way up from there to work

131
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: with larger advertisers and larger sponsorships, and really it's just, um,

132
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: it's like one day at a time, one day at

133
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: a time. It's pretty cool. You know. It's a very

134
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: similar story for podcasting, right again, people asking me all

135
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: the time about how do I make a podcast and

136
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: use that to make a living? And I said, you've

137
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: gotta understand, and it's a very small field of people

138
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: who are actually making enough money to make a living

139
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: from podcasting. And it's exactly what you're saying. You've got

140
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: to be very passionate about the subject. So if you

141
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: want a podcast, ask yourself why do you want to podcast?

142
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: Do you want to do it because you have something

143
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: to say about a specific subject, or do you want

144
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: to do it because you think it's just a cool

145
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: way to make a living. If it's the second, it's

146
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: probably not anywhere. So over the years, you've covered tons

147
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: of stuff. I want to hear some of your favorite

148
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: stories about just experiences you've had, either with the fan

149
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: community or on the creative side, like with some of

150
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: the I know you've gone and talked with some great directors, actors,

151
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: all sorts of people writers in that sphere. Tell me

152
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: about some of the experiences you've had, kind of given

153
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: an idea of of the highlights that you consider an history. Um. So,

154
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: my first in person interview I ever did was actually, Um,

155
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: I flew down to Miami and I think this was

156
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: like the second season of Burn Notice, and I was

157
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: a huge Bruce Campbell fan, huge huge Bruce Campbell fan,

158
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: and but I had never I didn't know anyone that

159
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: knew him or had ever interviewed him, or I had

160
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: no idea what he was going to be like. And um,

161
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: we were sitting it was me and I think four

162
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: other press people. We were sitting at this table on set,

163
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: and he comes in pouring his Tommy Bahama shirt and

164
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: like riding on this bicycle around our table and just

165
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: had like a little horn on it and was just

166
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: like hawking it and like just staring us down. I

167
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: was like, oh God, this is gonna be awkward. Sames awkward. Um,

168
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: But it was really great experience, and he was a

169
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: He was such a great guy. So was my initial

170
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: kind of experience that I had that I still kind

171
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: of nerved out over because I love him. Um. But

172
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: you know another one that is one of my Absolute

173
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: Favorites actually happened here in Austin last June. I was

174
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: out here for a t X Festival Austin Television Experience

175
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: and they had the cast of Girl Meets World out here,

176
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: which I don't really watch that show, but I grew

177
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: up on Boy Meets World, and I so I was.

178
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: I was completely geeking out over the idea of meeting

179
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: Corey Savage and our excuse me, Ben Savage, who played

180
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: Corey Matthews and his brother Fred was out here too

181
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: and for his show Um Grinder on Box but of

182
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: course I grew up in Wonder Years too. UM, so

183
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: I got the opportunity to interview Um Michael Jacobs, the

184
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: series creator for for Boy Mee's World and Girl Meets World,

185
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: along with Ben Savage, and I got to spend like

186
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: thirty minutes with them. And then from there, Um we

187
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: had gone back downstairs to the bar at the Hotel

188
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: Um from our press room and he introduces me to

189
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: his brother Fred as his friend Emma, and I was

190
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: just like, this is like the most surreal moment of

191
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: my life. And Savage just introduced me as his friend

192
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: to Fred Savage like it was just such a great

193
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: a great moment, and then Fred was like commenting on

194
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: my Instagram and I'm like, what world am I in? Like,

195
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't then I don't even know the director of

196
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, not to mention Wonder Years

197
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: and everything else. Yeah, that's fantastic. It was. It was

198
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: just such a great experience. And there's been so many,

199
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: um with the different conventions I've worked with, and the

200
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: different kind of you know, after parties and even the

201
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: events that aren't necessarily press related, but getting to actually

202
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: know these people that you know, you watch on the

203
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: screen and you get to you know, just love love

204
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: their talents and love the characters that they betrayed, but

205
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: then also getting to know them as people and not

206
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, as the personality, not just personalities. Yeah, that

207
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: has just been you know, I haven't had a single

208
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: bad experience, which i I'm still I'm so grateful for,

209
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: but in that kind of shocks me to you that

210
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: I haven't, But um, everyone has been so great and

211
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: there's just been just countless really awesome experiences. That's fantastic too.

212
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: So let me ask you a little bit more about

213
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: just sort of the the sort of stuff you do

214
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: for fan bold the kind of day to date activities. Uh,

215
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: do you have a stuff? I don't. It is me, UM,

216
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: I do have. It's just me. I don't want to

217
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: say it's just me. But it is a little bit

218
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: overwhelming some days one like a lot of news breaks,

219
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: or like last week I got like I don't know,

220
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: it's like seven emails from HBO all the stuff that

221
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: needed to go up in addition to everything else, and

222
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: it can be overwhelming, But like I do truly I

223
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: love what I do, so it doesn't feel like work. UM.

224
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: I do have a couple contributing writers that um um

225
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: our friends and for still she does um er recaps

226
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: for me and we'll do normally does conventions with me

227
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: and we'll kind of tag team press rooms and newing

228
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: interviews and things like that. UM and then a couple

229
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: of other people that will just submit news, Like anyone

230
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: can go onto famble and submit a news article and

231
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: if it's appropriate, um I will edit it and then

232
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: post it up on the site. So it's it is

233
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: a by the fans for the fans community. Anyone can

234
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: submit news UM, but on the staff's it it's just me.

235
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: So you actually do have an editorial voice. You haven't. Yes,

236
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: you have editorial standards. It's exactly. It's not a free

237
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: for all, exactly exactly a lot of people. When we

238
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: first put up that submit news um feature, it was

239
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: just like press release, press release, press release, and it's like, now,

240
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: you know. The thing about Fambles and what makes it

241
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: unique in my opinion, is that it is by the fans,

242
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: for the fans, and it's the point is that the

243
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: person writing it is passionate about what they're covering UM.

244
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: So it's not going to be an unbiased news type article.

245
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: It's going to be heavily biased based upon what a

246
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: fan actually thought of of that material. All right, Well,

247
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: what's the backbone of the site, if you don't mind

248
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: word press? It was I will tell you. When I

249
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: first started the site, i coded all of it to

250
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: work with UM. All of it was in PHP and

251
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: it was coded to work with the peoples and message

252
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: board system, which I've since moved on from UM. But

253
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: that process of it from a custom like PHP coded

254
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: application and moving fourteen thousand news articles into word crafts

255
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: was one of the most stressful things I've ever done

256
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: in my life. Anytime where you're having to migrate a

257
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: system over from one thing to another. It's a huge endeavor,

258
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: especially when you've built up a long history of material. So, uh, well,

259
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: that's great. I had to ask because I just was

260
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: curious how how you could stay on top of things. Obviously,

261
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: when you're using something that has its own kind of

262
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,119
Speaker 1: structure that you can play around with. Work is WordPress

263
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: is pretty robust. It is. It's a little bit of

264
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: a learning curve. It can be. Yeah, it's um, but

265
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: it's it saves you so much time in terms of

266
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,359
Speaker 1: building a site and wanting to add special features and

267
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: and keep things current and up to date in terms

268
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: of you know, versions that are released and all of that.

269
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: It it saves me. It's even though I know how

270
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: to do it, I could code all of that mysel

271
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: off if I wanted to. It saves me so much

272
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: more time to be able to focus on the actual

273
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: content of the site and not just you know, all

274
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: of the the back end of the site. Now, you

275
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: also mentioned that you started this before social media was

276
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: really a thing. Now social media is a thing in

277
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: what you do as well. Yeah, I mean it's kind

278
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: of a love hate relationship honestly, because yeah, it's it's

279
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: um it definitely. Message boards are a different place now

280
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: than they were um back before social media, and ours

281
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: were actually getting ready to relaunch ours because we switched

282
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: everything over, like I said, from people it's and gotten

283
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: away from that and then we're going in this new direction.

284
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: So that's coming very soon UM on the site. But

285
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: everyone took a lot of those conversations to social media,

286
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: so it's kind of an interesting learning curve of like,

287
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: all right, well, how do we get these conversations back

288
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: on the site and how do we you know, continue

289
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: to have that kind of engagement on the site, and

290
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: which is still something I'm I'm trying to figure out.

291
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: And we we figured it out with certain fan bases

292
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: really well. And that's just because you know, Walking Dead,

293
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones are kind of sweet spots. UM. Even

294
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: some of like them, like the teenage girly shows on

295
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: CW we have they have they have one of the

296
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: loudest voices scariest voices in fandom too. UM. So it's

297
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: usually when you say something that either people really agree

298
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: with our people find highly controversial, UM, then you'll get

299
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: a you just you have to to take a stand

300
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: and say something that someone feels passionate about, and that's

301
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: really how you create that conversation UM post social media.

302
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: But social media has been great too in terms of

303
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: bringing new people into the site. Um. You know, we've

304
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: done a lot of sponsorships and promotions around UM sponsored

305
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: tweets and sponsored Instagrams and all that sort of thing too.

306
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: Um So, I definitely see it as a huge part

307
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: that's that's been beneficial to the site. My own personal experience,

308
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: because of course social media is a part of my

309
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: job as well. Is that social media is a great

310
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: way to reach out to people. It's a great way

311
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: to find out what they're thinking. But it's also a

312
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: great way to dedicate way more time to managing social

313
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: media than to doing everything else that you need to do.

314
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: It's a time suck, really. Uh So, it is interesting

315
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: that you say that. I do think that sites like

316
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: yours have incredible value because if you look at something

317
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: like social media, you're generally talking about the same group

318
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: of people contributing to this conversation. You're not getting any

319
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: ideas outside of that group. It's patively small, right since

320
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: your Facebook friends or it's your Twitter followers. Maybe someone

321
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: just did a search for a hashtag that you contributed

322
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: to and they they might join in. But Twitter is

323
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: already limited because you have so little space. Facebook, you're

324
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: limited to the people who are your friends generally speaking,

325
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: unless unless you're someone notable who has a lot of

326
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: public followers. So sites like yours allow people who have

327
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: no interaction outside of their own circle of friends to

328
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: meet up with each other and share a love for

329
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: something quite literally. Actually I had to my members get married. Yeah,

330
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: it's two thousand and seven, So that was really cool

331
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: that they met on the site and then started like

332
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: long distance dating and then like three years later they

333
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: got married and um, so yeah, it is a place

334
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: where you can come and for for all of the

335
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: kind of message boards fan communities like that, you do

336
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: get exposed to, you know, other people than you would

337
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: on your your own social network. So that's that's definitely

338
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: a really great opportunity to meet fans. And then if

339
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: you end up meeting up at conventions and kind of

340
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: having your your group of con friends when you go

341
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: to the different conventions. Um, that's not something that I

342
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: think is that easy to find, um just through your

343
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: Facebook and Twitter and media outside of the con circuit.

344
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: Like for a long time, local science fiction conventions were

345
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: really the only way that you would meet up with

346
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: other fans that you did not necessarily personally know beforehand

347
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: and get a chance to talk to them. Internet suddenly

348
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: allows that to happen over on a global scale, so

349
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: you can have the equivalent of a fan panel about

350
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: a particular TV series or film series all the time, anytime, everywhere.

351
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: Because of that, and uh, it's one of the things

352
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: I've liked. I've been part of various fan communities over

353
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: the years. Uh, for those who want to know, way

354
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: back in the day, I used to contribute regularly to

355
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: a message board called Lebronze, which was a Buffy the

356
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: Vampire Slayer fan song. Yeah, so these are these communities,

357
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: These online communities are something that's really fascinating to me

358
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: because it does allow for people who otherwise would never

359
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: have any connection to one another to forge those connections

360
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: that can be really meaningful in the case that you've

361
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: a lifelong connection exactly. So that's really exciting stuff as well. Well.

362
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: What are you looking forward to in the future? Is

363
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: there anything besides I mean you're talking about the site

364
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: is evolving and growing. Is there anything uh, specifically that's

365
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: got you really excited or maybe even just really scared.

366
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: Two things actually, so Fampled is launching a podcast in

367
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: partnership with Atlanta Movie Tours Fantastic. I'll be glad to

368
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: be a guest anytime you will totally have you as

00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: I guess, so we'll totally have you on UM. So

370
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: we're still trying to we're trying to be very thorough

371
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: with all of all of our tone in our our

372
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: our kind of structure of the of the show before

Speaker 1: we launch it. UM. So we're still kind of in

374
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: the beginning planning stages. We've done a couple of like

375
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: test episodes, and so I hope that that will be

376
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: something you know, um within the next month or two

377
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: that will push out. But UM, it's going to be

378
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,520

Speaker 1: going to focus just on Atlanta entertainment, UM, that definitely

381
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: will be UM a part of the show and every

382

Speaker 1: eating that's filming in the city and and going on

383
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: in the city. UM. But the other thing that I've

384
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: been having a total blast with, UM we've partnered with

385
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,680

389
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: little spring Break style, So it's gonna be like Batman

390
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: versus Superman spring Break style. Um. Yeah. So Joystick, for

391
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: those who aren't in Atlanta, is a bar arcade. Yes,

392
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: so it's an adult arcade because it's it's a bar.

393
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, one of those one of those really cool,

394
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: very Atlanta kind of feel location. So it's great that

395
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: you've got that partnership going. It's been great. And um,

396
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: the two guys that run it, Johnny and Brandon um

397
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: run the bar. Um, They're they're amazing and they've been

398
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: so instrumental in getting all of this together with Project Cosplay.

399
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: We have a great group of people that do it.

400
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: R NC Candice amazing. Um. I always kind of describe

401
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: it as a fun hot mess because it is a

402
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: little bit of like a hot mess, but it's so

403
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: much fun. Um, so much fun. They contestants have We

404
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: have three contestants a month. You have roughly twenty minutes

405
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: to put together a costume with you know, we we

406
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: provide all the materials, duct tape depends, um some and

407
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: we usually throw in a couple of curveballs. UM. But

408
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: it's just been so much fun and we've gotten such

409
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: an incredible response to it for us to only be

410
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: on our third month. UM. So the winner gets a

411
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: golden Joystick and that's the that's the big prize and

412
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: bragging rights obviously, but it's just been I'm so excited

413
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: about it. And that's I think seeing just the growth

414
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 1: of that over the last couple of months and just

415
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: how much of a community that's being built around that.

416
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: Like everyone stays and hangs out after we finished the show,

417
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: which only runs for about an hour from nine to

418
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: ten UM, but everyone stays and hangs out, and it's

419
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: we're kind of fostering a little community with with those

420
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: people now and it's so many great people. And that's

421
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: what I love about doing doing all this is it's

422
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: just the people. The people are so great and the

423
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: friendships are incredible. Yeah, and you mentioned something else that's

424
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: really interesting. People again not in Atlanta probably aren't as

425
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: aware of this, but the city over the last five

426
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: years has really become a hotbed for film and television production,

427
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,959
Speaker 1: um Walking Dead being an obvious example, but there are

428
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: other ones, sleepy hollow films in the area. Now we've

429
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 1: got movies that are always being shot. We've got Pinewood

430
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: Studios south of the city that was the sister Pinewood

431
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: Studios to the one that's in London. So since you've launched,

432
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: you've seen the city that you work in turning turn

433
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: into a major film and television hub. So you really

434
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: lucked out. I really did. Like I always people people

435
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: always ask me like, when are you going to l A?

436
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: Aren't you gonna go to l A? And I'm like, well,

437
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: in l A, I'd be a very small fish and

438
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: very pond But with everything going on in Atlanta and

439
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: really the lack of of media there, you know, we

440
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: don't have the the entertainment Tonight's or the a On

441
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: Mines or you know, all of those kind of big

442
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: entertainment giants in Atlanta. So I get to do so

443
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: much and and go to so many sets and do

444
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: so many interviews, and um, I'm not planning on leaving,

445
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: like I don't. Firstly, don't exactly exactly. There's so much

446
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: and especially in the genre space we just have. I mean,

447
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: like you said, with Walking Dead and Sleepy Hollow. Um,

448
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: Netflix is Stranger Things, which I'm really stoked about comes

449
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: out in June. Um. I'm really looking forward to that one. Um.

450
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: But there's just so many ones that are in that

451
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: kind of sci fi or genre and that's like, that's

452
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: what I love. So being able to see the shows

453
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: that I actually love to watch on TV being filmed

454
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: around the city. It's just so cool. That's great. So
