The Phodcast: An exploration of fandom culture

Description

Daniel Howell and Phil Lester are a pair of British YouTubers active since 2009 who have had a cultural impact on a generation of young people, especially in a queer demographic. Alongside creating a variety of ‘storytime’, gaming, podcasting and other content, the duo have completed multiple global tours, released 3 books, and even hosted their own radio show on BBC Radio 1 in 2013.

In this URY podcast, Sunny speaks to fans about Dan and Phil, memories and stories associated with them, and dive into the history of the fanbase and the culture surrounding their content, extending into discussion of RPF (Real Person Fiction) and fandom culture as a whole.
